Together, we advocate for standards, champion quality, and build systems that others can rely on with confidence
  • Acquire a comprehensive understanding of how financial data supports diverse consumer needs, from Finance to broader business customers
  • Build core datasets and financial abstractions that serve as sources of truth for strategic and operational decision-making
