Praesto Consulting

What Praesto Consulting does

Praesto Consulting is a UK-headquartered professional services firm specialising in Business Intelligence, Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) consultancy. Founded in 2009 and operating through Praesto Consulting Group Ltd and Praesto Consulting UK Ltd, the firm delivers complex transformational data projects to large enterprise clients — including Prudential and Reckitt — spanning nonprofits to global listed corporations. The portfolio centres on six service lines: Data and Insights, Strategic Data Consulting, Enterprise Performance Management (with deep Oracle EPM Cloud specialisation in transfer pricing, tax reporting automation, planning and budgeting, and financial consolidation and close), CRM & CX, Business Process Management Software, and Managed Services & Support. Engagements are delivered by small, multi-skilled specialist teams from analysis through deployment across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments. The firm operates as a sales-led professional services consultancy, acquiring clients through expertise positioning and content-led thought leadership on its website, LinkedIn (referenced LinkedIn company ID 695349), and X channels. In 2025 Praesto acquired BrightFrog to scale capacity and pursue global growth, and in June 2026 it launched a London Hub office alongside existing operations in Staines-upon-Thames and Darlington, with service delivery extending to France and the United States. Core strategic technology alliances include a core-tier Oracle EPM specialist partnership, supplemented by co-delivery relationships with Box Fusion and Carruthers and Jackson for HFM-to-Oracle EPM Cloud migrations. AI/ML appears primarily as an embedded delivery feature within BI and EPM platforms (predictive analytics, automation of reconciliations and narrative commentary, scenario modelling) rather than as a proprietary differentiator.
