Hiram Finance

What Hiram Finance does

Hiram Finance is a privately-held French consulting firm founded in 1998 by Hady Farah and headquartered in Paris, specializing exclusively in market finance advisory services. The firm operates with 11–50 employees and has completed nearly 1,000 consulting missions since inception across the French and European financial sector. Its client base consists of enterprise financial institutions, including major French banks (BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole CIB, Natixis), public financial institutions (Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations), insurers (CNP Assurances, Generali), and asset managers (Sienna Gestion).

The firm delivers services through four interconnected practices: (1) Front Office, Risks, P&L, and Climate Finance — covering financial instrument valuation, market/credit/counterparty/liquidity risk, XVA, ALM, and ESG/climate risk quantification; (2) Regulatory — advisory on DORA, MiCA, T+1, MiFID II, EMIR, SFDR, and other European frameworks; (3) Strategic Project Management — covering transformation, M&A integration, and ESG transition; and (4) Information Systems MOA — IT project management and deployment of market finance platforms (Murex, Calypso, Numerix, Kondor, RiskMetrics, Sophis Risque, Summit, Atoti, Dataiku). Hiram Finance has no proprietary technology platform; its value proposition rests on multi-expertise human teams that combine quantitative, regulatory, IT, and project management skills.

Hiram Finance generates revenue through professional services engagements on a negotiated per-project basis with enterprise clients, sourced via direct enterprise field sales and relationship-driven business development rather than digital or self-serve channels. The firm invests in thought leadership via technical publications on its website and SSRN, and in ESG credentials (UN Global Compact signatory, Ecovadis Gold 2023, Greenly Silver 2023). The ownership structure is founder-controlled, with share capital of €500,000, no external investors, and no M&A activity disclosed in source materials.
