2025 High-End Independent Talent Report: Financial Services

June 17, 2025

Agility in the Face of Disruption

In 2025, financial services firms are operating in an increasingly intricate landscape. While headline economic indicators have steadied somewhat compared to the turbulence of the past few years, firms continue to face sustained pressure from high operating costs, evolving regulations, and global volatility—including the disruptive effects of sweeping tariffs and trade tensions. Against this backdrop, firms must balance defensive risk management with the pursuit of smart, sustainable growth.

Transformation also remains a top priority. Institutions are modernizing systems, investing in AI and automation, and adapting business models to meet rising customer expectations and regulatory demands. But these shifts come with structural challenges—legacy systems, rising compliance costs, and persistent talent gaps are making execution more complex and resource-intensive.

On-demand talent is playing an increasingly vital role in helping firms steer through today’s challenges. Interim executives and independent experts are stepping in to lead high-impact projects in areas like risk management, digital strategy, and organizational design—bringing a fresh perspective, niche expertise, and execution speed at a moment when agility is essential.

This report explores how leading financial institutions are leveraging on-demand talent to move forward— strategically, efficiently, and with greater resilience in the face of continued uncertainty.
