HOW IS X-CO DIFFERENT?

Our Infrastructure is lean

X-CO spends money where it matters – more on our consultants, less on trophy offices and advertising. We pass significant cost-savings on to our clients.

We are more flexible than our competitors

X-CO is unconstrained by conventional corporate policy. We are not tied to a singular approach in our working methods and if our client’s needs change as a project progresses, we can negotiate directly and evolve at pace to adjust our service offering.

We have a unique operating model

X-CO has grown a unique pool of talent that leverages the networks of its member consultants and partner consultancies without use of agencies or middlemen. We filter out only the highest calibre individuals, including former Big 4 consultants and Tier 1 bankers, to supplement our clients’ existing resources or act as standalone teams.Learn More

We don’t just sell talent like an agency, we upskill our consultants with industry best practice.

We supplement our expertise with a highly original approach to knowledge sharing and ‘cross-pollination’ of ideas with our carefully selected partner consultancies. Learn More

We deliver with no filler

We only provide experienced resources with the right tools for the client’s project, so minimal upskilling is required on the job. There are no passengers and we train graduates on our own time, not yours.

We can work around IR35

We are up to speed with the latest developments in tax legislation and have solutions ready to ensure you benefit the most efficient route to temporary resourcing.

Reviews & Testimonials

We only partner with the best and X-CO’s consultants are subject matter experts in their fields.

Managing Director, GRT Consulting

I worked with X-CO consultants for several years and always found them to be focussed, knowledgable and approachable individuals.

Global Head of Operational Risk Framework, Private Bank, COO, HSBC

We used X-CO consultants to deliver a critical regulatory-driven change project, where the Big 4 were not an option. With X-CO’s flexibility we got the product we needed, including a transition to our permanent staff.
