Global Financial Services, Inc. (GFS) was founded in 1992 with a simple mission: to provide high quality, value-added, securities operations professionals to the financial services industry. GFS has been doing just that for many of the nations largest financial services firms including broker-dealers, bank section 20s, global custodians, insurance companies and mutual fund companies.

GFS has been a resource provider for many of the leading management consulting firms. We have been able to provide these firms with industry professionals who have "in the trenches" hands-on, operations experience. Our professionals have ably supported these management consultants with the relevant expertise necessary to help support systems conversions, consolidate back office functions and seamlessly integrate newly acquired financial institutions.

In 1997, GFS merged with IMIS, a project management and system implementation-focused consulting firm, also specializing in the financial services arena. With IMIS' expertise in managing system conversions and merger integrations, partnered with GFS' ability to shore up a client's back office during changing times, the two firms complemented each other's service offerings extremely well and the new firm quickly grew to over $25 million in combined annual revenue.

In 1998, IMIS-GFS became part of Mastech, a $500 million global information technology consulting firm. IMIS and GFS were now able to offer clients access to highly skilled information technology (IT) professionals.

Mastech reorganized in 1999 to form iGate Capital (NASDAQ: IGTE). As a result, GFS is once again an independent business entity under the umbrella of iGate Capital. (IMIS is now part of a sister iGate Capital company, Symphoni Interactive). iGate Capital's mission is to help build global businesses by providing expert strategic and management assistance and sharing proven methodologies and global resources to companies within the iGate family. GFS, like all iGate companies, takes pride in being flexible, focused and fast.

With annual revenues of upwards of $15 million and over 100 employees, GFS is able to meet your back office operation and IT staff augmentation needs within the financial services industry, as well as acting as an extension of your firm's recruiting efforts by providing permanent placement services. With locations in San Francisco, New York City, Boston and Charlotte we are able to offer you the best and the brightest talent with true hands-on expertise.
