Our story

DEVLHON Consulting was born from a simple observation : investments in strategy and organization consulting in the finance, industry and services sectors are becoming essential (regulatory, digital, performance, CSR) and more expensive in order to face the increasing complexity of activities.

All these investments do not always help to make impactful changes within the different business branches, therefore, it doesn’t always lead to improving the clients’ businesses. Large firms (big four, pure players, consulting subsidiaries from software firms, …) target the volume, however clients demand tailor-made and high-quality.

That is the reason why the idea of gathering skills, technological and business knowledge on specific topics was born. Indeed, we aim to provide a human-sized service while respecting our clients’ specific needs and quality standards. Furthermore, we remained an independent consulting firm, especially from any software providers and audit or legal services.
