Simitive
Sectors/Financial & Professional Services

See the economics of your firm clearly, and plan the workforce your strategy needs.

Simitive helps financial and professional services firms see their business clearly and plan it with confidence. A forward-looking model of your firm's work, so leaders can see where capacity exists, understand how utilisation, realisation and leverage drive profitability, and plan the people, investment and change the firm's strategy will need. Proven at scale in other demanding sectors, and now built for professional services.

Simitive does not replace leadership judgement. It strengthens it.

What Simitive lets you do

One connected view, at every level.

A single team, a service line, an office or the whole firm - all in the same model.

See

where capacity exists across your people, and where utilisation and margin are under pressure.

Understand

what work costs to deliver, and how utilisation, realisation and leverage drive profitability.

Compare

productivity across comparable teams, service lines and offices.

Model

growth, restructuring, pricing and new ways of working before you commit.

Anticipate

how AI may reshape workload, roles, cost and the workforce.

Plan

recruitment, investment and change ahead of need.

How it works

A model of your firm, built to look forward.

Simitive starts with the work your firm does. We model your activities, work out the resource each one requires, and build the total capacity needed to deliver. We then set that against the people and resource you have, now and across the planning horizon ahead.

The result is a forward view of capacity, cost, leverage and workforce requirement - grounded in how your firm actually works and ready for the decisions leadership already needs to make.

The decisions it supports

  • 01

    Whether a team, service line or office needs additional resource over the next planning period.

  • 02

    How utilisation, realisation and leverage are working, and where margin is being won or lost.

  • 03

    What the firm will need, in people and resource, to deliver its strategy and growth plans.

  • 04

    Whether an investment, a new service or a restructuring will release capacity or add cost - before you commit.

  • 05

    The true contribution of support and business services, so their value can be planned for and not only their cost.

The platform

One connected platform for capacity, cost and performance.

Four products, configured for financial and professional services, that work on their own and even better together.

WAMS

Capacity and Workload

See how work is distributed across your people, where pressure is building and where capacity can be released. Plan utilisation fairly, transparently and at scale.

ABC

Cost and Economics

Understand what work costs to deliver, how utilisation, realisation and leverage drive margin, and how that changes with AI and structural shifts.

Review

Performance and Development

Support better conversations about contribution, development and the workforce you will need. Streamline appraisals and lift engagement across the firm.

CAMS

Resource Scheduling

Bring time, people and resource commitments into one plan. See who is delivering what, when and where, balanced against the capacity you actually have.

Planning for AI

AI is changing how professional work gets done, and with it the size, shape and cost of the workforce firms will need. Simitive shows where AI could release capacity, how it may reshape leverage, utilisation and pricing, and what it means for the workforce your model depends on - so AI investment can be judged on evidence.

A low-risk approach

Because Simitive models your work rather than your client engagements, it has limited to no dependency on client or engagement data. It uses the firm's own operational and financial information, sits alongside your existing systems, respects your IT security and regulatory obligations, and carries a minimal IT footprint. That keeps risk and disruption low.

For some firms AI is the immediate driver. For others it is utilisation, cost, margin or growth. Either way, Simitive becomes a capability your firm keeps.

Real partnership

Proven at scale, brought to professional services.

Proven at scale across higher education and in use within the NHS - now brought to financial and professional services.

01

We listen first

Every firm is different. We take the time to understand how yours works, so we never treat any two clients the same.

02

End to end

We stay with you beyond implementation - from modelling and analysis through to engagement and the conversations that follow.

03

Better decisions

The goal is not more information. It is better decisions, made with greater clarity, consistency and confidence.

Getting started

Begin with a defined area, then extend across the firm.

There is no need to start everywhere at once. Begin where the question is sharpest - a single team, service line or office. Prove the value there, then extend the same forward-looking view across the firm.
