IMS Consulting has announced the completion of the re-organisation of its business into clearly-defined business divisions as The IMS Group.
Scott Wilson, who founded IMS Consulting in 1997, moves from CEO of IMS Consulting to become CEO of The IMS Group. Stephen Burke, Chris Rexworthy and Andrew Insley are now Group Directors of The IMS Group, with Peter Moore taking the role of CEO of the Regulation and Compliance division. Chris Rexworthy also takes a new position as CEO of IMS Mirabella.
The firm now has in excess of 400 clients drawn from hedge funds and private equity firms, venture capital, wealth management, corporate finance and advisory and broker-dealers and banks. The Group now has more than 60 staff, having hired five new consultants in 2010 in response to client demand.
The group now comprises seven divisions:
Regulation & Compliance: this division is responsible for the group’s core offering for the wholesale asset management and securities industries, providing clients with solutions for all types of compliance issues: from high-level organisational risk management arrangements, to detailed process analysis.
Accounting and Tax - IMS Buzzacott LLP: a joint venture which began in 2008 between IMS and Buzzacott LLP, this service helps clients deal with the often complex regulatory, accounting and fiscal reporting requirements that affect their businesses.
Strategic Investment Consulting - IMS Market Access: assists hedge funds and boutique investors in aligning themselves with the specific requirements of investment consultants, empowering investment managers of all sizes to build a profitable, diversified client-base from among the world’s largest pension funds. It is led by William Battersby and Scott Wilson.
Regulatory Hosting - IMS Mirabella: Mirabella helps investment firms establish or continue their businesses by extending its own regulatory permissions to its clients.
Portfolio Risk Management – IMS Mirabella: offers outsourced portfolio risk management, analysis reporting and consulting services.
Recruitment: offers bespoke retained search and contingency recruitment services to the asset management and securities industries.
Training & Education: The IMS Group’s dedicated training and education provider to the wholesale investment management and securities markets in areas such as anti-money laundering and market abuse, compliance induction, capital adequacy and regulatory reporting.

Scott Wilson, CEO of The IMS Group, announced the re-organisation by saying: “With the development of our business over the past few years it was clear that we had outgrown our identity solely as a compliance consultancy, especially as some of our other services are now substantial businesses in their own right. The IMS Group better reflects the much broader range of business support and consulting services we now offer. Our commitment is to continue the development of new service offerings for our clients whilst delivering the high standards of service with which the IMS brand is associated.”
