Main Sequence drives technology adoption—bringing your teams up to speed in developing from the business perspective—alongside end-to-end consulting services designed to industrialise, scale, and orchestrate your financial workflows.
Whether you need us to build the solution for you, or teach your team how to build it themselves, we have a structured approach to meet you where you are.
We work alongside your business to map, refactor, and scale your critical workflows. We handle the heavy lifting of industrialisation and platform integration.
We train your finance and analytics teams to become self-sufficient developers. A curriculum designed specifically for the financial domain.
Most of the work we do together is deliberately platform-independent. We do not aim to push all your processes into the Main Sequence Platform.
Instead, we first industrialise and standardise your core workflows in a platform-agnostic way (Phase 1).
Then, only where it clearly adds value, we scale and orchestrate those workflows on the Main Sequence Platform (Phase 2).
Objective: Understand how your teams work today and identify the fastest paths to value.
A workflow and value map with a prioritised list of use cases, expected benefits, and an initial roadmap.
In this phase, we refactor and standardise workflows independently of any specific platform, focusing on scale, maintainability, and auditability.
Objective: Industrialise your core processes before scaling them.
We standardise on Python because:
Objective: Scale refactored workflows and unlock cross-system interoperability.
In Phase 2, we take the prioritised workflows from Phase 0 and the refactored assets from Phase 1 and:
An asset manager was spending hours manually building customised investor presentations in PowerPoint—copying and pasting from Excel spreadsheets.
A financial institution had critical pricing and calculator logic scattered across R notebooks, MATLAB scripts, and Excel files.
Our education track isn't just about syntax; it's about Business-Led Development. We teach your finance professionals how to translate their domain expertise into robust, scalable code.
We don't use generic datasets. We use your Excel sheets and your legacy scripts. Your team learns by rebuilding their own daily tools, delivering immediate ROI while they learn.
Not necessarily. Phases 0 and 1 represent our consulting path to modernization, which is platform-agnostic.
However, integrating with the Main Sequence Platform (Phase 2) typically brings exponential efficiency via orchestration.
Absolutely. A hybrid model is often the most effective. Main Sequence consultants can lead the initial refactoring of complex core systems (Consulting Path) while simultaneously training your team on smaller modules (Education Path). This ensures immediate delivery while building long-term internal capability.
No—that’s exactly the scenario this program is built for. We meet teams where they are, gradually lifting core logic into Python libraries while providing documentation and handover.
