Resources Connection, Inc., a global consulting firm, announced it has closed its previously announced transaction to acquire Reference Point LLC (“Reference Point”). Reference Point is a strategy, management, and technology consulting firm serving the financial services sector across four areas: Strategy & Management, Risk & Regulatory Compliance, Digital & Technology and Data & Analytics.
Reference Point employs a differentiated consulting delivery model where engagements are led by former industry executives who are supported by top-tier consultants. Focused exclusively on the financial services sector, the business provides end-to-end solutions for clients, from strategy development to implementation to management. Reference Point was established in 2002 by former banking executives aiming to help clients manage complex operational challenges unique to the financial services industry. The business maintains offices in New York, Washington, D.C., and Charlotte, N.C.
“We are excited to welcome the Reference Point team to RGP and expand our advisory offerings in the financial services sector,” said Kate Duchene, CEO of RGP. “This acquisition creates significant opportunity for both organizations to help provide an integrated value proposition for our collective clients. RGP will introduce Reference Point’s high value advisory solutions to our vast client base while also helping Reference Point to scale delivery teams with our on-demand talent. We expect this business combination to accelerate our growth in the financial services sector and our consulting business overall.”
“Joining forces with RGP brings significant opportunities for growth and synergy,” said Scott Goeden, Managing Partner of Reference Point. “With a shared vision for the future, our combined business has the opportunity to acquire market share faster and our team is ready to get started.”
Mr. Goeden will continue to lead the Reference Point business, working alongside Irene Hendrick, who leads RGP’s Financial Services go-to-market team.
