A significant proportion of our portfolio consists of Transition & Support BCBs. These specialize in temporary project support, working with their own project consultants and interim managers. They also recruit permanent staff for our clients. They are partners that provide support for every financial function. We have organised our T&S activities regionally and work out of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Ghent, Zaventem, Louvain-la-Neuve, Hasselt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and München.

Our Expert Industry BCBs concentrate mainly on consultancy services and project implementation. The two Expert Industry BCBs work in specific sectors: Financial Institutions (FI) in Belgium and the Netherlands and the Public Sector in Belgium.

Most of FI’s clients are banks and insurance companies. The BCB has extensive subject knowledge in areas including fintech, blockchain and payments, business analysis, target operating model, risk, compliance & smart data, reporting & control, financial risk & credit management.

The Public Sector BCB focuses on the public, semi-public and non-profit sector. Its tasks include the analysis of operational risks, improvement or change trajectories for processes and systems, the selection and implementation of new systems, drawing up financial reports and effective public contracts. Public Sector responds to the need for temporary support in areas such as operations, back office, finance, IT, HR, legal, internal and external auditing, business intelligence and procurement. It also provides support in the use of new technology such as e-invoicing and big data.

Expert Specialty BCBs are each active in their own area.

The activities of the CFO Services consultants include making business processes simpler and more transparent, partly thanks to quantitative analysis and the observation of existing practices. More specifically, they focus on improvement trajectories in five areas: complexity reduction, process management, corporate reporting, credit management and data.

The Management Information & Systems (MI&S) BCB bridges the gap between management information and IT systems. For example, its Me inc.® staff play key roles as project leaders or key users; they construct reporting or analytical models, train users, conduct tests and write documentation. MI&S has a global vision of the entire information pyramid, from corporate performance management to master data.

The TriICT BCB thinks through business and technological transformation with the client. Testing ideas, implementing them and providing coaching and training are among the services it offers. It provides help in using technology that facilitates reporting and in finding IT experts. Data to Insight is a BCB involved with data analyse. It seeks patterns in the data that explain what has happened and indicate what is likely to happen in the future. Its goal is to get more out of the data and take insights to a higher level.

Financial Management Services works out of Amsterdam and provides support in unusual and complex liquidity situations. It develops processes linked to credit management and debt collection. Besides businesses, its clients may include trustees and the special asset management departments of financial institutions.

The TriManagement BCB that has recently been set up in Belgium carries out recruitment and selection just like T&S, but focuses on high-value interim management and executive coaching & recruitment.
