How we are evolving as an organization
Digitization & AI as a Growth Area
For the second half of the year, we expect further growth – particularly in the areas of digitalization and artificial intelligence. We are systematically building up expertise in these fields; the first customer projects are already in the pipeline. In this way, we are positioning FS-SC not only as a reliable partner for traditional finance mandates, but also for companies that want to actively shape digital transformation.

How can regional banks reach Generation Z in the long term? In a candidate project, we analyzed young people's financial behavior, competition with neobanks, and digital expectations of modern financial service providers. Based on this, we derived concrete recommendations for action – from a better user experience and contemporary investment options to a stronger social media presence.
Für das Frankfurter Smart-City-Startup Enviotech entwickelten wir eine Vermarktungsstrategie für intelligente Straßenbeleuchtung. Auf Basis einer Analyse von Beschaffung und Fördermöglichkeiten erarbeiteten wir ein Pricing-Framework mit modularer Angebotsstruktur für die internationale Expansion.
In another candidate project, we supported an FS-SC alumnus with market screening for his start-up: a software-based calculation solution for the construction industry. Using telephone interviews, pricing benchmarks, and value chain analyses, we validated key assumptions regarding the problem, solution, and market potential—thereby laying an important foundation for the planned rollout.

On February 20 and 21, the FS ConsultingDays once again brought students together with leading management consultancies. In hands-on workshops, one-on-one interviews, and an evening get-together, participants were able to explore various consulting fields and build valuable networks. For the first time, firms with a specific focus on financial services were also present. We would like to thank all participating consultancies and look forward to next year.

Our second general assembly was fully focused on Mergers & Acquisitions: the M&A department of DZ Bank was our guest, a long-standing partner with whom we already share several successful projects and close cooperation. Managing Director Martin Petsch, along with our active member Severin, who knows DZ Bank from his time as a working student, gave insights into daily project work and career entry opportunities at DZ Bank. We would like to thank DZ Bank for their visit and look forward to our continued collaboration.

Three days, five companies, one strong network.
The Graduation Journey went into its second round this year – and has now established itself as a permanent format in the FS-SC calendar. From April 22 to 24, we traveled to Munich and visited Tacto, Stern Stewart, Kearney, CIL Strategy Consultants, and Berylls by AlixPartners. In workshops, case studies, and open Q&A sessions, we gained insights into various consulting fields and career paths.
Particularly nice: At almost every company visit, we were welcomed by a familiar face from the FS-SC network – a strong sign of how sustainably our community connects us even beyond our studies. At our Alumni Dinner on the last evening, we were also delighted to welcome good friends from the alumni network.

From FS-SC to Trade Republic with Julian Collin
At our last general assembly, we welcomed Julian Collin, former FS-SC Managing Director and now Growth VP at Trade Republic, virtually as a special guest. Julian shared his journey: from the desire to found a company, through consulting internships and venture capital, to Trade Republic, where he accompanied the company from its early stages to its growth today. His advice: look for positions where you can really make a difference, even if it sometimes involves more risk.
