We bring senior, hands-on expertise to the platforms that run financial services, helping institutions move forward with continuity of day-to-day operations as a design principle, not an afterthought.
Built for banks, broker-dealers and credit unions across the United States
Consulting and implementation that meets institutions where they are — from assessment and planning through delivery and handover to your team.
Proven Platforms, Modern Foundations.
Helping institutions plan and execute the move off ageing core systems at a pace the business can absorb, with continuity of customer service as a design principle throughout.
Faster Payments, Greater Certainty.
Advising on and implementing modern payment rails and messaging standards, so institutions can plan for industry deadlines and keep pace with their peers.
Resilient Trading, Reliable Settlement.
Strengthening the systems behind the trading desk — order management, market data, post-trade and the control environment — through design, integration and testing.
Connected Data, Confident Decisions.
Building modern data foundations that bring scattered information together and give leadership a consistent view of the business.
Stronger Controls, Clearer Evidence.
Helping institutions build the systems, data lineage and evidence their examiners expect. Your compliance and legal teams own the regulatory interpretation; we build the technology that supports it.
Two Institutions, One Future.
Planning and delivering the technology integration behind a merger, so the combined institution can work toward operating as one from day one.
We are a consulting and implementation firm. Being precise about what we do — and don't do — is part of how we keep engagements safe for our clients.
Institutions bring us in when the work is too important to hand to a generalist. We stay side by side through delivery and leave your team ready to carry it forward.
Get in touchWe work in one industry, so we arrive already familiar with your regulators, your vendors and your release calendar.
The people you meet are the people who deliver. Our consultants are employees based in the United States; we do not subcontract delivery.
Every engagement is designed with the running business in mind: new runs alongside old, and cutover waits for the evidence.
We finish by transferring ownership — documentation, training and support until your team holds the keys.
Focused expertise across the institutions that make up the banking and capital markets system — and the technology that keeps them running.
Core platforms, payments and the data behind regulatory reporting.
Trading, market data, post-trade and the control environment around them.
Core conversions, digital channels and bringing estates together after a merger.
The engagements below are representative of the work our founders have led in the industry.
Bringing two institutions' research and publishing technology under one roof ahead of legal day one, with the combined platform tested in parallel before cutover.
Ask about this work →Helping an institution retire end-of-life technology and move its regulatory control testing onto a platform its own teams own and operate.
Ask about this work →Standing up a modern data platform for two combining institutions while both were still in motion, giving leadership a consistent view of the business.
Ask about this work →A straightforward engagement model built around one priority: keeping the business running while the technology changes. Each stage ends with something you own, and you choose how far to go.
We learn how the estate actually works today, and where the real constraints sit.
Stage oneWe agree a path forward that fits your timetable, your budget and your risk appetite.
Stage twoNew runs alongside old until the results reconcile, so cutover is a decision made on evidence, under your change control.
Stage threeWe transfer ownership to your team, with the documentation and support to back it up.

We want this website to be usable by everyone. Our target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, and we review the site against that standard when we make changes.
The site uses semantic headings and landmarks, labeled form fields, visible keyboard focus, and colour contrast chosen to meet AA ratios for body text. Decorative animations are hidden from assistive technology, and all motion — including the typing effects and scrolling tickers — is switched off when your operating system's "reduce motion" setting is on.
The animated hero background is decorative and has no text alternative beyond the page content itself. Some monospaced label text is small; use your browser's zoom if you find it hard to read, and the layout will reflow.
If you have trouble using any part of this site, email contactus@retrospectivesystems.com. We will respond within five business days and provide the information you need in an alternative format if required.
