Resources Connection to acquire consulting firm Reference Point, no terms

Resources Connection announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Reference Point . Reference Point is a strategy, management, and technology consulting firm serving the financial services sector across four areas of focus: Strategy & Management, Risk & Regulatory Compliance, Digital & Technology and Data & Analytics. Led by Managing Partner Scott Goeden, Reference Point employs a differentiated consulting delivery model where engagements are led by former industry executives supported by top-tier consultants. Focused exclusively on the financial services sector, the firm provides end-to-end solutions for clients, from strategy development to implementation to management. This transaction, upon closing, will expand the portfolio of high-value advisory services RGP offers its financial services clients, and in turn, is expected to accelerate the growth of the firm’s financial services and overall consulting business. It is further expected that the business combination will extend RGP’s project execution and on-demand talent services to Reference Point’s enterprise clients, while also fueling meaningful growth acceleration for the Reference Point business through its access to RGP’s client base and differentiated on-demand talent model. The current Reference Point management team, led by Mr. Goeden, will continue to lead the business following the close of the transaction.
