Monocle Solutions

Monocle Solutions is a financial services consulting firm founded in 2002 by David Buckham. It concentrates on the implementation of systems, processes and data for banks and insurers, rather than on strategy advisory work alone. The firm's stated aim is to close the gap between strategy and execution, acting as an execution partner that works directly within client systems and processes.

Its practice covers six areas: Risk & Regulation, Financial Transformation, Market Conduct & Compliance, Data & Analytics, Digital Transformation and Technology consulting. In each, the work consists of implementation and execution support - carrying regulatory, financial and data changes through to delivery - rather than producing hypothetical recommendations. The firm emphasises deep domain expertise that translates between business stakeholders and technical teams.

Monocle Solutions serves industry-leading banks and insurers across the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. It operates from four offices, in London, Amsterdam, Johannesburg and Cape Town. Its founding philosophy - described by the firm as a reaction to "too much talking and too little doing" - places weight on tangible results and lasting change within client organisations.
