GLOBAL UNISON CONSULTING LIMITED

What GLOBAL UNISON CONSULTING LIMITED does

Global Unison Consulting Ltd (GUCL) is a UK-based, founder-led professional services consultancy specializing in Risk, Compliance & Governance (GRC) advisory for financial services firms. The firm, registered in England & Wales under company number 05614345, is headquartered in London and serves clients across banking, insurance, investment management, fintech, and international corporations operating in the UK. Service delivery centers on Control Effectiveness Testing, SOX/SMCR/MiFID II/EMIR/Consumer Duty compliance, Risk & Control Self-Assessments, operational risk frameworks, Three Lines of Defence implementation, gap analysis and remediation, and bespoke training.

GUCL was founded in 2014 as a general business consultancy and was repositioned in October 2024 as a dedicated GRC specialist under Principal Consultant Amit Kapadia, whose experience includes deputy-manager roles at State Bank of India London, Big 4 (Deloitte, KPMG) project work for Aviva and skilled-person reviews, and controls and assurance delivery at B&CE. The firm does not operate a software product, API, or proprietary technology platform; service execution relies on industry-standard tooling (Microsoft Office, JIRA, basic Python, financial analysis tools) and human expert judgment.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, quote-based, project-priced professional services engagements scoped per client, with pricing reportedly structured toward multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is consultative and sales-led: direct outreach via corporate website, phone consultation, and email inquiry, with commitments of 4-business-hour email responses and same-day callbacks. Distribution is entirely direct (no resellers, partners, or marketplace channels), marketing is limited to the company website and credentials-based thought leadership, and the firm's operating geography is domestic UK only.
