Highspring Recognized in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Finance Transformation Strategy Consulting

The firm was recognized for its unique blend of agility, practical frameworks, and a methodical approach to finance transformation. 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — (Nov. 24, 2025) — Highspring, a global professional services organization, announced today its recognition in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Finance Transformation Strategy Consulting (FTSC). The firm was evaluated and included in the report for its ability to execute and its completeness of vision by Gartner. 

This Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Finance Transformation Strategy Consulting report assesses “the finance transformation strategy consulting market as engagement services that enable CFOs and their finance organizations to define strategies and execution roadmaps across multiple business-aligned, forward-looking initiatives.” 

“We believe this recognition underscores Highspring’s differentiated approach — delivering agile, right-sized finance transformation strategies tailored to the specific needs of CFOs and finance leaders,” says Jeff Henry, President of Consulting at Highspring. “Unlike the one-size-fits-all competitors, we’re focused on being the most adaptable, pragmatic, innovative, and execution-oriented partner for finance teams as they navigate changing, complex market conditions.” 

In its report, Gartner recognized Highspring as a “Niche Player,” which we believe highlights the ability to successfully compete with globally scaled firms by delivering specialized solutions tailored to organizations of all sizes with the same level of expertise and impact.  

Highspring’s strategy combines proven frameworks with real-time innovation through its proprietary Agility Index report and calculator, so organizations can better understand exactly how agile they are and where they need to shift their focus for long-term growth. 

Strategic Advantages 

While some global firms are recognized for scale, Highspring views that their inclusion highlights a different kind of strength — specialization while still being competitive across geographies. Highspring touts its North American focus as a strategic depth play: offering clients localized knowledge, senior talent, and personalized delivery without the bureaucracy and rigidity of slow-moving, multinational competitors. 

“We’re proud to be recognized in this quadrant, seen as a Niche Player,” said Sean Bonadeo, Partner of Strategy, Technology, and Transformation at Highspring. “To us, it means we’re focused and an emerging innovator among companies using outdated playbooks. And for CFOs looking for real impact — not just presentations — we’re a partner that brings both innovation and execution to the table.” 

With a growing base of clients across financial services, private equity, and manufacturing sectors — and expansion underway in areas like AI readiness and operating model design, as well as new global markets.
