Company Background

Finyx is a boutique Strategy and Transformation Consultancy changing the way Digital Services are delivered.

We've come a long way since we first started in 2006, but our desire to operate client-side, offering wholly independent advice and support to our clients hasn't changed. When Finyx was set up, we were clear on what we didn't want - to become the next Big 4. Our goal is to build and maintain a happy place to work with interesting, high-value projects and a strong team spirit.

Our team have all been attracted to Finyx because of its non-corporate and meritocratic culture, something that is instilled throughout the firm by our founders and management team. We provide real opportunities for career development, we just believe that it's possible to do so without rigid, corporate structures in place.

Our recent and ongoing success means we are actively looking for talented individuals to join our team in a variety of capacities.

As you'd expect, we're not looking for an army of clones - we value individuality, honesty, hard work, excellence, trust and respect.

Are you ready to join a firm with a real difference?
