FITS Consulting

What FITS Consulting does

FITS Consulting is a privately held, founder-led boutique consultancy founded in 1991 by Henry F. Lange and headquartered in Denville, New Jersey. The firm provides professional advisory services exclusively to the financial services sector, with primary emphasis on broker/dealers and financial institutions. Its eight core service lines cover the full regulatory and operational footprint of its clients: Audit Preparation, Compliance and Regulatory Services, Lending and Credit Services, Operating Model Strategy (including clearing model evaluation and implementation), Staff Augmentation (Workforce Solutions), System Integration and Conversion, Risk Management, and Training and Documentation.

The firm carries no proprietary technology platform; delivery is consultant-led, with engagements shaped around client-specific regulatory, operational, and transformation mandates. Pricing is quote-based, structured by project scope, duration, and seniority, supporting a professional services revenue model that is project-, staff augmentation-, and advisory-driven. Its client base spans early-stage broker/dealers seeking CMA/NMA approvals through to established institutions navigating FINRA examinations, DTCC modernization, the SEC's central Treasury clearing mandate, and emerging digital asset market structure.

FITS distributes through direct sales and relationship selling, supported by a LinkedIn presence and curated industry event participation (notably Greenberg Traurig's SuperReturn International cocktail reception in 2026). The firm remains founder/management-owned with no disclosed external investment and no documented M&A, funding, or IPO activity. With a headcount of 101–250 and a single U.S. office, FITS operates at the scale of an established mid-sized niche consultancy, recently signaling expansion intent through a formalized Strategic Consulting team and dedicated business development leadership.
