What Aurexia does

The firm delivers advisory, operational transformation, regulatory compliance, risk management, and digital transformation engagements to banks, insurers, asset managers, and capital markets institutions across Europe, APAC, and North America through 7 offices (Paris, Nantes, Luxembourg, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Montreal). Aurexia organizes its delivery around dedicated practices covering Retail Banking, Corporate & Investment Banking, Asset and Wealth Management, Insurance, Finance/Risk/Compliance, and Data Management, and supports these practices through a portfolio of sub-brands: Aurexia Institute (regulatory research and RegWatch newsletters in 7 regional editions), Aurexia FinLab (innovation hub spanning RPA, AI/NLP/ML, DataViz, Blockchain, and Process Mining), Aurexia Sustainable (ESG and sustainable finance), and Aurexia Operational Excellence (process optimization).
The firm generates revenue through fee-based, bespoke consulting engagements scoped individually per client, with multi-year contract cadences and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-enterprise, leveraging RFP responses and senior-level relationship management. Aurexia maintains an ecosystem of technology partnerships (Sinequa, WorkFusion, Celonis, UiPath, Alteryx, Kyriba, SESAMm) and curates an annual FinLab INDEX of 12 recommended Fintechs. Proprietary assets include the RegWatch newsletter franchise, a Data Dictionary Smart Dashboard, an Insights mobile app, and an internally developed blockchain-based Aurexia Wallet for internal RSE initiatives.
Following 16 years of independent organic growth and a 2022 equity investment by UI Investissement and Bpifrance, Aurexia joined Sopra Steria Next in May 2025, integrating its 140+ specialized consultants into a team of 400+ in France and 1,000+ across Europe under the Sopra Steria Group's management consulting arm.
