Brawn Capital

"Quinlan & Associates did an outstanding job in helping us develop and articulate our strategy and operating model. Their data-driven, insight-led approach allowed us to better position our overall business vs. our competitors, and their outputs were crisply presented, content-rich, and to the point. We especially valued the hands-on approach of the team, and their highly collaborative working style, which made for a fun and engaging project. I would definitely recommend Q&A to anyone seeking a genuinely fresh perspective on their business from what I see as a tier-1 strategy boutique."

Lexin Fintech

"Among various strategy consulting firms, Quinlan & Associates and Benjamin are the first company and person that come to my mind when it comes to FinTech, due to their expertise, understanding of the industry, and the firm’s reputation in the market. The Q&A team did an excellent job in helping us understand the BNPL market in HK and Macau. During the four-week engagement, they were able to understand our objectives quickly and had a collaborative working style, with a clear project structure and timeline. Most importantly, their comprehensive and insightful analysis and strategic recommendations were very valuable to us. It has been such a pleasure working with Ben and his team."

Praxonomy

"Quinlan and Associates (Q&A) worked with us in three broad areas: research, strategy and networking. They sized our current market opportunities, profiled competitors, identified technology trends and forecast global market demand. The research was beautifully structured, thoroughly documented, easy to understand and immediately applicable. The strategy piece came out of the research and helped clarify our business planning in regard to market entry options, pricing, positioning and product differentiation. Q&A ran a deep, sophisticated exercise that took into account not only key market factors but also less obvious geographic and cultural differences, regulatory concerns (by exchange, prospect profile and jurisdiction) as well as market disruption possibilities. With the research and strategy pieces in hand Q&A introduced us into their network and helped us discover and establish regional and global sales and development partnerships. I cannot say enough about Q&A’s expertise and commitment. The people who pitched us were the people who did the work. They were always available and always on top of things. The results were excellent. I would recommend Q&A without reservation."

They made a genuine effort to understanding our opportunities and challenges, and tailormade a solution that enabled us to capture key opportunities. Their expertise, approach, and market connectivity allowed them to create something that extremely was relevant for us. Their follow-up workshops were highly engaging and ensured our solution could be put to day-to-day use.

Smartkarma

"Smartkarma has worked with Quinlan & Associates on a number of projects. Their work is rigorous and of a very high quality which has proved to be useful and insightful as we grow our business. It has also proved attractive to a broader audience of stakeholders, including our investors, customers, prospects and the financial press. A major challenge that any Fintech creating a completely new category faces is how to define and articulate that category and the vision behind it. Quinlan & Associates intellect and clarity of thinking helps solve that challenge. It’s a vital step in “crossing the chasm” and gaining traction with your target customers. A relationship with Quinlan and Associates is never simply limited to the scope of a specific project, they become a sounding board for your craziest ideas; clearing the fog with common sense, whether via a quick Whatsapp message or a phone conversation. The importance of this to a busy founder cannot be over- emphasized."

Velocity Business Solutions

"Quinlan & Associates did a great job in both developing and articulating our overall strategy; from sizing relevant market opportunities to identifying key industry trends and evaluating developments in the competitive landscape. Their research was extremely well structured, easy to understand, and got to the point, helping us to clarify our future business plans and re-define our market proposition with key stakeholders. In addition to having sound technical capabilities, deep industry know-how, and a strong commercial acumen, the Q&A team have a very hands-on approach and took complete ownership of the project from start to finish, allowing our team to focus on their daily responsibilities (instead of the project). I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a fundamentally different experience with a top- tier strategy consultancy."

Their ability to delve into a topic and build a coherent framework around that subject matter and present it in a clear, concise manner is impressive.

"Quinlan & Associates helped us to develop a truly world-class strategic proposal to support our future growth plans. They were able to distil complex industry data and business processes in a clear and easy-to- understand manner, including bringing out our values, mission, and business model (and how we differentiate ourselves from competitors).
