Monocle Solutions

In 2002, David Buckham founded Monocle Solutions with a clear vision: to address a critical gap in the financial services consulting landscape. While many firms offered high-level strategy, he noticed that banks and insurance companies were struggling with the complex reality of implementation - getting things done at the coalface of systems, processes, and data. What started as a specialised consultancy has grown into an international firm with offices in London, Amsterdam, Johannesburg, and Cape Town, serving clients across the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, South Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa.

At Monocle, the philosophy is simple but radical: we live in a world of too much talking and too little doing. The firm specialises in getting into the depths of client systems and processes to deliver tangible results, not hypothetical recommendations. With deep domain expertise across Risk & Regulation, Financial Transformation, Market Conduct & Compliance, Data & Analytics, Digital Transformation, and Technology, Monocle consultants bridge the divide between business stakeholder needs and the complex technical reality underneath. As strategic execution partners to industry-leading banks and insurers worldwide, Monocle manifests change - possessing some of the smartest risk, compliance, finance, and technology minds who proudly get their hands dirty to deliver meaningful, lasting impact at the heart of financial organisations.
