Monocle Solutions is a financial-services consultancy founded in 2002 by David Buckham. The firm works exclusively with banks and insurance companies, focusing on the implementation and execution of systems, processes, and data solutions rather than advisory work alone. It operates from four offices - London, Amsterdam, Johannesburg, and Cape Town - and serves clients across the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, South Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa.
The firm's technical work spans several domains relevant to financial institutions:
- Risk & Regulation
- Market Conduct & Compliance
- Financial Transformation
- Data & Analytics
- Digital Transformation
- Technology, Systems & Processes
Monocle's stated positioning centres on execution: its consultants work directly within client systems and processes to deliver outcomes, rather than producing high-level recommendations for others to act on. The firm describes its role as bridging business stakeholder requirements and the technical complexity that underlies them.
