In conversation with Paul Murdock, Managing Partner and President, MCG Consulting Services. Let’s hear more about the company, its service offerings, and Paul’s professional journey.
Brief us about the company, what inspired you to start the company?
After spending many years in the industry as an executive at some of the most prestigious wall street firms, I believe my experience and MCG’s value proposition would play well in the financial services marketplace. My experience leading the consulting practices, in financial services, prepared me with the tools and contacts to start MCG.
What started as an “idea” is now a recognized leader in the marketplace. We are proud of the team of experienced consultants that we have assembled to engage with our clients.
What are the products or services the company focuses on? How are your services different from those in the market?
MCG helps our clients solve their most complex business problems by providing uniquely customizable professional service advice. We believe that all securities markets are holistically connected in today’s world and are one of the few companies that provide both regulatory compliance services and assistance in software development.
On the compliance side of our business, we help clients identify and mitigate compliance, regulatory, and financial risks, and on the technology side, we help clients upgrade to next-generation software systems. This dual approach to meeting our client’s needs gives them the basic foundation to achieve exemplary success.
