Challenges Faced:

Our Client, a boutique investment bank based in Middle East had a top-heavy team looking after deal sourcing as well as execution. Due to rising deal flow, the client was looking to increase the headcount of junior staff to support sector leads. The Client was facing a two-faced challenge, one that new hires requires time to adapt to the work environment and extensive training on different aspects of investment banking. The other part was to maintain adequate client-facing time for bankers and devote less time to train new associates.

Solution Provided:

Our team spoke with the Head of Investment Banking to understand their requirement for setting up an offshore team with varied skill sets to support M&A deals. We set up an offshore delivery team of five associates with experience in preparing financial models, pitch decks etc. The team was effective from Day 1 and started working on client deliverables, leading to quick go-to-market and shortened response time to pitches.
