Business Strategy Development
|
Our experienced consultants guide you through the creative, idea-generating initiation through personal and group discussions, workshops, and outside research. We help test and validate the feasibility at each step, and define the scope of what can be realistically achieved. We draw on our experts in operations, technology, risk and finance to ensure that costs, projected revenues and impact to the business are deeply understood before the change process begins. Our business areas of expertise cross all market participants, including broker-dealers, wealth management, prime brokerage, alternative investment, market data providers, banks and custodians, and administrators.
|
Start-Up Services
|
From identifying and developing back office capabilities to outsourcing IT/operations architecture or providing CFO services, We enable financial services organizations to hit the ground running and seize opportunities for growth and/or expansion. We have worked with many global banks and institutional asset management firms in evaluating their start-up needs and requirements, and we will work with you to establish your critical operations for long-term success.
|
Outsourced Services
|
Outsourcing remains a viable alternative and cost-effective method of operating in the marketplace today. Companies can outsource everything from IT to HR and other support services. However, to outsource these critical functions effectively, organizations need to understand the commitment, cost, management and service level deliverables that outsourcing entails. Understanding the complexities of outsourcing is imperative to avoid negative ramifications that can impact the growth of your organization. Our team can help you navigate through these complexities by evaluating whether outsourcing is the right option based on your business objectives. Furthermore, we can assess risks: Regulatory, operational and compliance. From assessment to negotiation and contracts, we can provide the strategic outsourcing services for your business.

Technology Enablement
|
Your organizations’ approach to technology may be at the heart of your success or failure. How effective are your technology systems and do they support your business operations and activities? Do you have timely access to reliable and accurate business and financial information to base your decisions upon? Most firms struggle to make the best decisions for their business in this area because technology is always changing and the level of investment dollars required for change can be daunting.
Rothstein Kass can help you find the answers to those questions and more. We work closely with clients to identify and deploy effective information technology systems in the front and middle office, client reporting, finance, governance, risk and compliance areas that may impact your organization’s ability to create, sustain and enhance value. Our advisors understand how important it is to evaluate and optimize current and future IT spending to drive bottom-line results.
We specialize in helping our clients determine what they require, finding the best-of-breed technology and software solutions that will make your organization run more effectively and efficiently and enhance your competitive edge in the marketplace. Our goal is to help reduce costs without increasing risk and without compromising the effectiveness of your business processes.

Rapid Go-To-Market
|
Our clients either lead the market or quickly follow new opportunities. Slow response or lack of ability to manage operational risk can lead to failure and missed client expectations. We help our clients form small teams, led by experienced consultants, to create quick responses to net market opportunities and lead the way to bringing these new products or services to market. The cornerstone elements of our approach includes:
|
| |
• |
Bringing to fruition a go-to-market process that is suitable to the business environment and the internal skills and capabilities of the firm. |
| |
• |
Working with our clients’ personnel to validate ideas, design the required infrastructure, processes and capital commitment, and create a roadmap to reach the market within the desired timeframe. |
| |
• |
Help build the business case for executive management that demonstrates the feasibility of the new business or product, supplemented by outside research, best practices and data, as necessary. |
|

We can help you create a customized, fully integrated framework to do just that. We can assist you not only in improving the quality and quantity of your information but also in enabling information system users to find information as diverse as customer relationship, risk, profitability and compliance data – all in one comprehensive location.
