Acuity Analytics has acquired Continuus, a US-based data consultancy specializing in financial services. The acquisition adds 37 specialists and expands Acuity Analytics' capabilities across data strategy, governance, engineering and cloud data platforms. Transaction strengthens Acuity's financial services data and AI consulting expertise, adds Snowflake Premier status, and deepens Acuity Microsoft tier 1 expertise to meet ever increasing demand for modern data and AI platforms like Microsoft Fabric and Databricks. Acuity Analytics expands US data and technology capabilities with acquisition of Continuus.
"What attracted us to Continuus was its deep understanding of financial services and its ability to turn data strategy into practical business outcomes for clients. As organizations modernize their data environments and scale AI initiatives, they need partners who can combine technical expertise with strong governance and delivery capabilities. Continuus brings exactly that. The acquisition strengthens our presence in the US and further enhances our ability to help clients unlock value from their data while adopting new technologies with confidence," said Rob King, Chief Executive Officer of Acuity Analytics.
In addition to its technical capabilities, Continuus brings expertise in program delivery and data governance, both of which are becoming increasingly important as financial institutions move complex data and AI programs into production environments.
"Clients are making significant investments in cloud data platforms, but technology alone is not enough. Success depends on having the right operating model, governance framework and delivery expertise in place. Continuus has built an excellent reputation helping financial institutions address those challenges. Together, we can offer clients a broader range of capabilities, from strategic advisory services through to implementation, analytics and AI-enabled transformation," said Stewart Smythe, Chief Delivery Officer, AI, Data & Digital.
The acquisition forms part of Acuity Analytics' continued investment in AI, digital and data, supporting its evolution from a financial services research and analytics business into a technology led organization that combines industry expertise with advanced digital capabilities.
In 2024, Acuity Analytics acquired PPA Group, adding technology enabled data capabilities and machine learning expertise within commercial lending. In 2025, the company acquired Ascent, an AI led digital transformation specialist, significantly expanding its Data and Technology Services division across Europe. The addition of Continuus further strengthens these capabilities and broadens the group's ability to support financial institutions globally.
Today, Acuity Analytics' proposition centers on applying technology and people to real business challenges, combining trusted data, specialist AI expertise and digital delivery to create measurable outcomes for its clients.
"Since Continuus was founded, our focus has been helping financial institutions get more value from their data and technology investments. Joining Acuity gives our team access to broader capabilities, deeper sector expertise and a global platform from which to grow," said Matt Moeser, Chief Executive Officer of Continuus.
