Thornton Green answers the questions financial services firms ask most often about consulting, regulated delivery and interim work.
What does Thornton Green do for financial services firms?
Thornton Green delivers programmes, architecture, platform replacement and AI work for banks, insurers, finance companies and fintechs. Engagements run as consulting, contract or interim, in New Zealand and across Australasia.
Can you work inside a regulated lending business?
Yes. We have built and run credit and affordability assessment under CCCFA, with risk controls and audit trails designed in from the start. We also design the compliance controls themselves, not just the technology around them.
Do you replace legacy platforms, or only advise on them?
We do the work. We have retired an end-of-life CRM and web stack in our own business and delivered its replacement, and we have run global CRM migration during integration after an acquisition.
Do you take contract and interim roles?
Yes. Programme manager, delivery lead, enterprise architect and similar engagements, remote from New Zealand, with travel to site where a project needs it.
