An advisory firm built around independence and senior execution.

What we are

We are a specialist finance advisory firm, not a generalist consultancy and not a product distributor. Our work sits in four connected disciplines — operational finance, project finance, structured finance and portfolio advisory — and the common thread is analytical rigour applied to a decision that carries real consequence.

How we are different

We are paid only by our clients. No commissions, no placement fees, no retrocessions, no referral economics. When we recommend a structure or challenge a manager, there is nothing behind the recommendation except the analysis.

Senior people do the work. Engagements are executed by experienced practitioners, not staffed out to a leverage model. You deal with the person who built the model.

We build for handover. Models, policies and processes are documented so your team can own and maintain them. A successful engagement reduces your dependence on us.

We will tell you when the answer is no. Declining a project, walking away from a term sheet, or leaving a portfolio alone are all legitimate outcomes. We would rather lose the follow-on work than deliver an answer we do not believe.

How we work with other advisers

We work alongside your existing lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, brokers and FCA-authorised managers rather than replacing them. Where a matter requires a regulated activity, a legal opinion or an audit sign-off, we say so clearly and coordinate with the party who can provide it.

Where we are

K&B is based in Watford, in the Greater London area, and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. Engagements are delivered remotely or on site as the work requires.
