World class analysts delivered to your team

Transforming consultancy for capital markets and commercial banks

At Frontline, we specialise in integrating top-tier apprenticeship graduates into global capital markets teams, offering unparalleled expertise and flexibility. Our unique approach brings together a blend of onsite and offshore analysts—trained under the mentorship of veteran financial professionals. This model gives senior managers in investment and commercial banks access to proactive, highly skilled consultants, driving efficiency and delivering consistent results.

Whether you need risk analysis, credit research, or market insights, we provide teams with the cultural and technical acumen to blend seamlessly into your existing structures. Our analysts aren’t just service providers — they’re a key part of your success.

Flexible options to suit your specific needs

Onsite and offshore

With this model, a dedicated team of offshore analysts works exclusively for you, combining the benefits of cost-effective offshore talent with high-level onsite integration. Our offshore analysts come from elite MBA schools in India and are rigorously trained by senior European analysts. These proactive communicators work under close supervision, ensuring you get the highest quality service. Our retention rates are among the best in the industry, and over time, these analysts become seamless extensions of your team.

Offshore only

This model involves a team of consultants spread across your office and our offshore locations. Local graduates work at your office, sitting alongside your teams to facilitate direct communication and feedback, while offshore analysts work in tandem. Our local analysts ensure real-time updates and smooth knowledge transfer to offshore counterparts. You get the advantage of having analysts on-site for hands-on management, while maintaining the scale and cost benefits of our offshore team. After two years, you can even recruit these highly trained professionals into your permanent workforce.
