Strategic finance and analytics, at a fraction of the cost and time.

ARC delivers decision-ready analysis in weeks, then builds the AI-native workflow behind it and hands it to your team to run.

See the work

The work you outsource keeps coming back.

The performance pack, the forecast refresh, the competitive scan: every quarter it goes back to a vendor, and so does the invoice. ARC builds the workflow once, then hosts it for you or hands it to your team.

Your outsourcing bill drops, and the know-how stays with you.

Your transformation is years away. The problems are here now.

Large platform programs take years to land. ARC deploys working solutions in weeks that fix the biggest gaps and carry the business until the larger program is ready.

Results this quarter, while the roadmap catches up.

Your team is too busy to learn a better way.

Manual work fills every week, and nobody has time to figure out AI. ARC trains your team to build the workflows they need, then hands them over.

Less manual work, more time for the work that grows the business.

Clients expect AI to make you cheaper. Your pricing decides who keeps the savings.

Work gets done faster, and clients have noticed. They ask whether you use AI, push for lower fees, or bring work in-house. Under hourly billing, every hour AI saves comes straight out of revenue. ARC helps you reprice the work so the time you save shows up as margin.

You deliver faster, and the firm keeps the savings.

Signature of Ken Lam

I spent close to a decade in management consulting at Grant Thornton's strategy arm, advising companies from the Fortune 500 to the mid-market.

Clients have included Microsoft, Cisco, Moody's, Aon, Gallagher, Truist Bank, Hub International, AssuredPartners and Maximus.

I also built my own consulting SaaS platform, a knowledge management system for professional services firms, and served as a Board Director for Cause Effective, a New York City nonprofit consulting organization.

ARC brings that experience together with hands‑on AI implementation, so your team gets senior judgment on a timeline measured in weeks and walks away with workflows it can run on its own.

AI & Data Science

I’ve spent a decade building AI and data science systems in regulated industries, most recently as AVP of Data Science at MetLife and before that at Revantage, a Blackstone company.

At MetLife, I turned around a claims auto-adjudication program, more than doubling the auto-adjudication rate, and reviewed 300+ global AI use cases on the enterprise AI Architecture Review Board.

At Revantage, I built a real estate data science practice from scratch, including forecasting work presented to Blackstone’s board.

I put together the agentic systems and machine learning behind workflows, so the analysis your team relies on is tested, reliable, safe, and ready to run in production.
