About Us

Finalysis was established in 1990 by experienced bankers and accountants at Nova, UCD’s Business Innovation Centre, Dublin.

The founders identified a critical gap in the financial services market for corporates, offering international best-practice banking strategies and delivering high savings for their banking and treasury operations.

Much of Finalysis' early work was commissioned by SKC/KPMG.
