Our Managing Partner's Take on Our Journey of Growth
Gain insights from Benoît Leman, Managing Partner, who has been right there watching our growth story unfold.
Finalyse Group
In 1996, I embarked on a journey with Finalyse, a journey that would shape my career and witness the transformation of an ambitious endeavour into a recognized and established company. Back then, we were a team of few individuals guided by a shared vision to explore and design the landscape of risk management.
As from its earliest days, Finalyse was personified by amazing people, all motivated by the building of strong client intimacy, the pursuit of knowledge, the art of adapting to the unknown, and the courage to pioneer uncharted territories. Projects demanding excellence forged our path, expanding the boundaries of risk management. We turned challenges into stepping stones, etching a culture of expertise and team spirit.
As the years unfolded, I have had the privilege of working with fantastic colleagues, partners and clients, nurturing profound expertise in crafting and executing cutting-edge valuation and risk management solutions for Europe's leading financial institutions. Over two decades, my personal journey as a Risk professional intertwined with the evolution of Finalyse and the animation of a team of passionate experts.
From our modest beginnings, Finalyse has emerged as a formidable force, setting new benchmarks for risk management excellence. Today, as we commemorate the 35th anniversary of Finalyse, we celebrate not just the passage of time, but the accumulation of achievements, the resilience in the face of challenges, and the spirit that has fueled this remarkable growth. Our legacy is one of innovation, collaboration, and unwavering dedication to mastering the art of risk. Looking ahead, we are looking forward to scripting new chapters of success, embracing the ever-evolving landscape with the same vigour that carried us through the past three and a half decades.
To our past, our future, and to Finalyse's culture – a joyful 35th anniversary!
Our impact
Discover the perspectives of our team members.
I am very pleased to have joined this team. From the beginning, I have seen an organisation where team spirit and professional development are at the heart of success. It greatly enhances knowledge sharing and well-being at work, both internally and with the client.
At Finalyse, it is not just about what you do today, but also what you will do tomorrow. I had always wanted to join a company that would give me the opportunity to have a personalised career. Finalyse takes my career goals into account through a training plan prepared in consultation. Interviews are organised during the year to review the objectives. This approach allows me to choose the direction my career will take.
Finalyse not only considers its employees as individuals but also as a team. And it shows! We get together quite often for nice teambuilding or an interesting communication session. These are the kinds of things that guarantee a good atmosphere between colleagues and make a strong team.
I enjoy working for Finalyse for a variety of reasons. One of the most important is that I get to work with some wonderful people, and there is a fantastic formal and informal support system in place at all levels. Everyone is accessible and prepared to lend a hand.
This on-the-job support is reinforced by the Finalyse Academy's excellent training curriculum customised to each individual. Personal growth is prioritised, and employees are supported throughout their careers and development within the company.
Furthermore, Finalyse has a vast client base across a wide range of industries. Working on various intriguing projects with clients based both in Ireland and overseas is always a great learning experience. There's also some encouragement to demonstrate an interest in industries or initiatives that you might not work in but would like to learn more about.
When I accepted an offer to join Finalyse around 2.5 years ago, my first thought was to make a pun and tell all my friends that I “finalysed” the Finalyse offer. Since that day, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with Finalyse. There is a key difference between working for someone and working with someone. When it comes to Finalyse, you feel the latter 100%. Finalyse has helped me develop as well as guided me into becoming a better professional. The whole team, including the top management, is very receptive to ideas and encourages everyone to think independently and produce their version of how we should grow together. Professionally it has been an absolute blast working with a variety of clients and a range of projects which really keep you on your toes and engage you. At the same time, Finalyse is very considerate about your work-life balance, and it has been the best place I’ve ever worked in terms of it.
There’s a small anecdote that I want to share about the ethics and morals of the people I work with. My younger cousin passed away earlier last year, and it was a time when I was very vulnerable and far away from my home, suffering from this bereavement in addition to covid. The support I received from my peers and management was highly appreciated. Even a small email checking up on me or a quick call to see how I am doing matters a lot. And while Finalyse has all the big values and positives sorted out, the small things that people do additionally make me appreciate them much more.
Joining Finalyse enabled me to greatly boost my career with a diverse range of exciting and challenging projects, serving important clients in Belgium, Portugal, and Ireland. Never before had I felt so motivated and empowered to steer my career development and become who I want to be while enjoying fruitful and fun cooperation with other knowledgeable, talented and nice people.
The uniquely friendly environment where communication and constructive interaction between consultants and management is highly encouraged, combined with a solid corporate culture where expertise, respect, and a strong drive for results is embedded in all business units and job grades, makes Finalyse an inspiring place to be.
Finalyse is a great place to work in. I have a direct impact on my career development plans, and I see a true value in annual reviews. Projects are always challenging, but I constantly feel support from my team. Teamwork is at the heart of Finalyse.
It all comes with a competitive salary and system of bonuses as well as a good balance between work and private life.
When I started at Finalyse, I was a junior and had a lot to learn. The management and the colleagues were really available and supportive, giving me the opportunity to learn through trial and error, leaving room for creativity. The perfect environment for good learning opportunities and personal development. At Finalyse, I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects around market risk, derivatives regulations, valuation modelling and front to back system implementations and to grow within the structure of the company.
Today, as one of the Finalyse partners, I’m still learning and discovering new development areas. At Finalyse, I deeply value the professionalism and expertise of the team. Consultants and clients are respected and treated with fairness. We may not be the biggest, but we do have a strong company culture!
