We have dedicated teams for all our clients which act as an extension of the client’s in-house team. The Tristone team comprises of an Analyst that is managed on a day to day basis by an Associate.
The Analyst is responsible for most of the underlying work and the Associate is responsible for managing all assignments, problem solving, quality control and communicating with the client.
In addition, a partner or VP is responsible for overall supervision, ensuring consistency in the quality of deliverables and making sure client expectations are being met. Depending on the volume and scope of work for a client, we will staff one or multiple Analysts for a client engagement.
The above model provides clients with multiple layers of quality control and touch points at our end. Our model provides greater leverage to our clients and enables them to focus on growing their business while also leveraging the expertise of our senior partners who have over 20 years of experience of working with bulge bracket investment banks and private equity firms.
We kick-off every new client assignment with an organizational meeting with the client to understand their work activities, process, work templates and overall requirements. Thereafter we have weekly or more frequent update calls or video conferences with the client as needed by the client.
We communicate with our clients using video conferencing, conference calls, emails, or other means depending on the preference of the client.
