Two backgrounds, one team
Most AI consultancies can build. Very few understand what they are building for. GOP Consulting was founded to close that gap for finance businesses specifically.
We start with the problem, not the vocabulary
You are almost certainly being approached by vendors with a finished product. It is impressive in a demonstration, but built to make you change how your team works to fit it, licensed per seat, and dependent on a roadmap you don't control.
The work that actually consumes your team's time (the reporting pack that takes four days every quarter, the onboarding file chased by email, the reconciliation nobody wants to own) is specific to your business. It's not on anyone's product roadmap. It never will be. That is the work we do.
Because one of us has spent a career in financial services IT and the other in chartered accountancy and fund management, we don't need six weeks of discovery to understand what a valuation pack or a fee reconciliation is. We start with the problem rather than the vocabulary.
Nothing off the shelf
We don't resell licences. We design to your operating model.
Priced around you
Every engagement is scoped and quoted individually, with no rate card and no surprises.
Built for regulated environments
UK data residency, published exit terms, and audit-ready evidence.
The team behind GOP Consulting
Founder names and photos to follow. Here's what each of us brings.
| Founder | What this means for you |
|---|---|
| Finance Operations: Accountancy & Fund Management Background | Sits with your team and maps the work as it is actually done, including the exceptions, the judgement calls and the controls that cannot be automated away. Speaks your language from day one. |
| Technology & Delivery: Head of IT in Financial Services | Designs and builds the agents and applications, and integrates them into the systems you already run. Brings the security, identity and compliance discipline of an in-house IT function rather than an agency. |
