Financial & Economic Services

Expert financial and economic analysis is a critical part of considering any proposed change – whether it is an investment, a new initiative or changes in structure or process – and of ensuring and demonstrating value for money. Having objective and comprehensive information regarding the financial and broader economic cost-benefit implications will ensure the best decision is made.


MartinJenkins has a team of finance specialists and economists with expertise in developing, assessing and implementing business proposals in a range of sectors. We have deep understanding of financial management principles and the particular requirements of the public sector in this regard. Our knowledge combined with practical experience with “the business of government”, means we understand the requirements of budget processes and reviews, and are able to respond quickly to meet client’s needs.

Some key questions:

  • When considering important organisational, policy or regulatory changes, would you benefit from objective and independent advice?
  • Do you have access to finance and economic specialists who can take a multidisciplinary approach to decision-making?
  • Is your organisation required to submit budget proposals, or undertake budget baseline reviews?
  • Are you required to prepare regulatory impact statements and business compliance cost assessments?

How we can assist

MartinJenkins provides the following services in this area:

Strategic Support
Our consultants have direct experience in economic and regulatory policy, financial management and investment banking – which enables us to bring a wide range of techniques to bear on specific issues. We can support the examination of strategic issues through the use of economic and financial analysis, and modelling techniques. Our clients benefit from the support that is provided by senior consultants who combine business acumen and empathy, with fit-for-purpose analytical tools and techniques that withstand external scrutiny.

Business Cases
Financial and economic analysis is part of the multi-disciplinary approach required when considering a proposed course of action. Our team has proven understanding of the requirements for business cases in the public sector and the increasingly sophisticated processes surrounding their preparation. We work with our clients to prepare business cases or provide independent quality assurance. Our approach to business cases means that clients benefit from analysis which is robust, has integrity and provides a sound basis for decision-making.

Budget Bids & Reviews
From our wealth of experience in the government sector, we are very familiar with the concept of value for money and the requirements of budget process and budget baseline reviews. Our clients benefit from a team that has undertaken numerous reviews of this type using proven methodologies and a practical approach. Our advice in relation to budget bids and baseline reviews is respected among senior decision-makers.

Regulatory Impact & Business Compliance
We regularly develop and prepare regulatory impact analyses and business compliance cost assessments required for policy and legislative proposals. We are well-versed in the requirements for these assessments. A key advantage that we provide to our clients is the ability to integrate our economic, financial and policy skills into assessments that add value to the decision making process rather than just being a compliance requirement.

Supporting Organisational Change
Our economic and financial experience enables us to provide “nuts and bolts” support to other projects in policy, HR and organisational change when required. We can help fully analyse the implications of different proposals, to facilitate effective decision-making.
