Fintech Q4 Associates joins EY
Fintech firm Q4 Associates Limited has joined EY New Zealand, a move it says will enable it to better serve clients across Australia and New Zealand.
The move would allow it to better serve clients, particularly in the financial services sector, by strengthening its existing intelligent automation (IA) and robotics process automation (RPA) capabilities and bolstering its existing financial services technology consulting team.
Q4 Associates offered full stack IA and RPA projects and consulting services.
The team of 12 technology consultants would join the EY New Zealand financial services technology consulting team in Auckland with Q4 Associate’s co-founders Samantha Osborne, Maurice Dubey and Shayde Boryer joining the leadership team.
EY opened its New Zealand hub in April 2022 and said it planned to “expand rapidly”.
Paul Roberts, financial services leader, EY New Zealand said: “As we continue to grow our recently formed New Zealand financial services practice, it made sense to bring on board a team of highly experienced IA and RPA professionals.
“The addition of the Q4 Associates team to our existing New Zealand financial services practice, along with a number of other significant hires and promotions over the last six months, means we are rapidly expanding our presence in the market and continuing to bring our financial services clients the deep industry knowledge and experience they need to help them address some of their most complex challenges.”
Samantha Osborne, Q4 Associates chief executive, said: “This is an exciting next step in the evolution of our business and we are looking forward to being part of the EY regional and global network, which will present fantastic new opportunities for both our people and our clients.
“With EY looking to grow their existing team by bringing in key talent with deep data skills and local market experience, we knew this opportunity would be a great fit for us as we start a new chapter for our business and the joining together of our teams creates a compelling service offering in the local and regional market.”
