Financial Sector Consulting Services

Financial Services & Private Equity

The financial services industry in the Middle East has experienced several years of uninterrupted growth. Macroeconomic growth—spurred by rising oil prices, demographic shifts, and regulatory changes—has been the catalyst for this expansion, increasing the demand for financial sector consulting services. The rapid growth of financial centers in the region presents significant challenges and opportunities for businesses in the Middle East. Booz & Company is uniquely poised to assist financial services clients with the assessment and acquisition of these emerging opportunities, either through the power of existing corporate structures or through focused alliances with foreign or domestic partners.

We assist our clients in all segments of the financial sector, including insurance, exchanges, retail banking, corporate banking, private wealth management, capital markets, and investment banking. Working with our clients, we develop and implement a customized financial services strategy, based on current financial industry trends and the unique functional expertise of our partners. We provide comprehensive support for all major functions of financial services—from providing risk management and organizational structure analysis to designing operating models, developing corporate strategies, and making information technology recommendations.

The landscape in private equity has also changed dramatically. In periods of challenge, prizes will be substantial for those who respond strongly. Within the constantly shifting world of financial services and private equity, strategy consulting is a key component of developing a sound model for continued growth and development. We offer our clients the ability to address their most urgent business needs. Based on our experience across all sectors, we identify profitable service offerings and isolate key trends to increase our clients’ strategic performance.
