Beacon Consulting Group Acquired By Accenture

Beacon Consulting Group Acquired By Accenture

7 Mile Advisors Acted As The Exclusive Sell-Side Advisor To Beacon Consulting Group, Inc. In Their Sale To Accenture plc.


7 Mile Advisors advised Beacon Consulting Group, Inc. on their sale to Accenture plc (“Accenture”).

Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has acquired Beacon Consulting Group, a trusted advisor and management consultant to the North American asset management community. This acquisition significantly expands Accenture’s asset management consulting capabilities and enhances its ability to help global investment managers, institutional investors and asset servicers gain an edge in increasingly competitive markets. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Beacon Consulting will become part of Accenture’s Capital Markets practice, reinforcing its expertise and capabilities in asset management to help asset managers and other financial services companies design, build and operate their business.

“Though asset management is a large and growing industry segment, it is also characterized by increasing competition and rapidly evolving industry dynamics,” said John DelSanto, senior managing director of Accenture’s Financial Services operating group in North America. “By adding the consulting professionals from Beacon to our Capital Markets practice, we further deepen our industry knowledge to be better positioned to help our clients transform the way they do business.”

Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Beacon Consulting Group brings a deep understanding of the asset management industry with differentiated expertise in middle- and back-office operations. Beacon’s proprietary benchmarking data and thought leadership also help its clients enhance their competitive position and implement changes that transform their business performance.

Accenture’s Capital Markets practice provides consulting, strategy, digital, technology and outsourcing services to financial institutions to optimize analytics for asset managers, drive sales force effectiveness, improve operational productivity, reduce costs and manage risks. Its clients include eight of the top 10 global wealth managers and seven of the top 10 global asset managers.
