We are a leading specialist Financial Services management consultancy

Who are we

We are dedicated to Financial Services and to helping our clients improve their businesses

Altus Consulting was founded in 2005 with the belief that Financial Services should be more accessible, more efficient and more equitable. We are as dedicated to these objectives today as we were back then, and it is this passion that has helped us to become a leader in strategic consulting, digitisation and transformation across the Insurance, Investments and Banking sectors.

Today our consultants provide strategic advice to Financial Services businesses around the world, working in partnership with them to determine, design and deliver change more effectively. Our blend of repeatable, ‘engineered’ solutions for tackling common problems, coupled with deep industry expertise, helps us to bring cost effective answers to a huge range of client’s challenges.

We are part of a global business

Altus Consulting is part of Equisoft, a global Financial Services transformation and solutions provider

Equisoft acquired Altus in 2021 to expand its range of business and technology transformation services, and through the formerly named Altus Business Systems, to extend its range of software products. Like Altus, Equisoft is focused exclusively on Financial Services. Operating in 9 territories around the world and with over 1,000 dedicated FS transformation specialists, Equisoft are one the world’s largest, dedicated Financial Services solutions and transformation providers.

Altus Consulting remains as an independent brand within the group and has grown significantly since the acquisition, undertaken work in 12 countries and brought insight from around the world back to the UK for the benefit of our clients.

“Altus have played an invaluable role getting Blackfinch set up on our new Data Platform. Altus quickly understood our data needs and created a plan that has delivered on time a fit for purpose data solution and working Sales Dashboard that provides Blackfinch meaningful and actionable data from across disparate systems in a business- friendly format”

Claire Gazard, Head of Operations

“Altus were excellent; their knowledge of advisory platforms and the technology landscape was invaluable in helping us select a new system.”

Patrick Mill, MD, Alliance Trust Savings

"Altus have added significant strength to our Internal Audit Auditing capability. Their approach to auditing, coming from solid experience of the business operation itself, has been innovative and refreshing, and a perfect complement to our team.”

Matt Burton, Group Chief Internal Auditor

"Altus were able to quickly capture the complexity of our business and provide us with a few simple but very powerful views. The Capability and Process Models that the Altus team built in PEAK have helped to improve engagement across the business, in addition to enabling key metrics to be reported on with ease at Exec level."

David Ferguson CEO, Nucleus Financial Group plc

"Altus support was invaluable in getting us to market fast. They consistently demonstrated practical expertise in the platform market and guided us through complex decisions swiftly and reliably."

James Dunne, Head of Platform, Santander

“The team have been excellent ambassadors for Altus throughout, they have always been well prepared with very sound knowledge of the market and functional disciplines, provided challenge in the ‘right way’ and have integrated very well into our assurance and risk teams“.

Clive Benham, Risk Director - COO Function, Quilter Plc.
