Revelwood

What Revelwood does

Revelwood is a privately held technology consulting firm, founded circa 1994-1995 and headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey, that specializes in finance operations automation for the Office of Finance. The firm implements and optimizes three core enterprise platforms — Workday Adaptive Planning (cloud FP&A), IBM Planning Analytics powered by TM1 (enterprise performance management), and BlackLine (financial close and accounting automation) — and layers its own proprietary products (DataMaestro for data orchestration, LightSpeed for forecasting, and the BPM Suite implementation accelerator) on top. The company has completed more than 500 finance transformations for clients ranging from small businesses to Fortune 1000 organizations across 20+ industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, biotech, pharma, real estate, and energy.

The business model is professional services revenue: quote-based implementation and configuration engagements, ongoing Customer Care (Help Desk and System Administration as a Service), and Training programs, with pricing tailored to client scope. Distribution is direct and consultative, supplemented by partner referrals from Workday (Platinum Solution Provider), IBM (25+ year relationship; first TM1 Gold Accredited partner), and BlackLine (Gold Solution Provider). The firm operates from a US headquarters and European offices in London and Edinburgh, the latter opened in December 2023 under Managing Director Jonathan Dunn.

Revelwood is led by CEO Ken Wolf, a CPA and Wharton-trained finance executive with 30+ years of experience, supported by CTO Rob Gordy and a bench of senior practice leaders specializing in each partner platform. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, subsidiaries, or parent company, and maintains elite partner tier recognition across all three of its primary vendor ecosystems.
