About the team

Within Accenture, the UK Insurance team helps leading insurers, life companies, pension providers, wealth managers and retail investment organisations shape and deliver major transformation. Altus Consulting was acquired by Accenture in 2025 to extend the capabilities within the UK Insurance team. We bring together Strategy & Consulting, Technology, Song and Operations to help clients modernise platforms, improve customer and adviser experience, strengthen operational resilience, and unlock value from data, AI and cloud-enabled delivery.

Our clients come to us because we understand Financial Services and have “lived and breathed” the problems that they are facing. Not only that, we produce realistic and actionable advice through visual Consulting methods, which are rated highly by our clients and enable them to head towards success.
