After being on a tear for much of the last decade, the fintech sector is currently experiencing significant challenges – overextended valuations are down considerably, regulatory scrutiny over certain fintech verticals have tightened, rising interest rates are eating into consumers’ discretionary incomes, and certain mergers have failed to deliver the expected synergies – to name just a few of the bigger challenges to fintech companies.
These challenges are creating a new set of needs for fintech clients. 99FT has the depth and breadth of fintech product and functional domain experience to make a real difference to the financial, operating, compliance, and risk management performance of fintechs, financial institutions, and other firms in the fintech space. We make this difference directly for our clients as well as in partnership with other consulting firms for the benefit of their clients and their long-term client relationships. We look constantly for new consulting firm partners to broaden our joint reach and to enable our partners to deepen their client relationships. So let’s discuss how we can make this happen.
» Achieve market readiness for launch or acquisition;
» Accelerate through critical lifecycle stages, such as growth or diversification;
» Gain analysis-driven understanding, visibility, and oversight of their holdings, partners, or vendors; and
» Understand implications and adapt to external events.
Depth and experience. 99FT enables consulting firms to fill capability gaps, expand strengths, and solidify credibility with clients. 99FT offers unique breadth for a small nimble firm, and our team is comprised of seasoned veterans with experience both as doers and advisors. Our practice areas span strategy, operations, compliance, risk management, M&A support, and financial management. And we cover a very broad gamut of fintech products and markets, including embedded finance, POS lending, card payments, B2B payments and small business lending, and others.
Broader client relationships. In the event that you feel stretched or out of your lane trying to serve existing clients with services that are not a core competency for you, we provide the opportunity to take on these types of assignments more confidently to enable you to preserve relationship interests and focus on what you do best. Further, 99FT’s nimbleness and risk appetite (see below regarding our Skin-in-the-Game approach) often allow us to serve clients more cost effectively than larger firms.

Delivery capacity flexibility. 99FT can supplement your delivery teams in an efficient manner when you need to quickly staff up and cannot find enough strength on your own bench at that moment. We are flexible in our arrangements and can partner with your existing teams or go in by ourselves. The need for flexibility may be particularly relevant in uncertain economic times.
Sales support. Our capabilities extend beyond serving current clients and projects. Our depth and experience can be particularly valuable to you in closing pursuits, and we are confident that we can find the right deferred/results-based compensation arrangement for such support.
99FT can craft an arrangement with you that works for you and achieves mutual interests. These include joint pursuits with combined offerings, subcontracting, and bi-lateral referrals. We also welcome opportunities for co-marketing and presentations.
What we believe is quite unique in our approach, when serving clients directly and through our consulting firm partners, is placing true skin in the game. 99FT starts every project by exploring how we can align our goals and objectives with the goals and objectives of the project, client, and ultimately your consulting firm. This can mean offering upfront discounts with performance bonuses for achieving major milestones. We are looking forward to discussing with you the specific performance-driven arrangement based on your particular client project or situation.
