Amber Labs is a London-based consultancy specialising in Digital, Data, Cloud and AI transformation.
Founded in 2020, the company has rapidly grown into a team of over 120 consultants and yearly revenue of £20-25m, providing expert services across industries such as public services, central government, defence, transport, financial services, and energy. Amber Labs embraces an employee-first culture — delivering value and driving change to create dynamic careers for their team, while providing the highest quality service to their clients.
The Challenge: Managing Cash Flow While Scaling Rapidly
As Amber Labs experienced rapid growth, they recognised the importance of proactively managing cash flow to sustain momentum.
With increasing demand for their consultancy services, especially within the public sector, the company needed to attract top-tier talent, invest in upskilling initiatives, and deliver large-scale digital transformation projects. Given the extended procurement and payment terms typical of enterprise and government contracts, Amber Labs sought a partner to ensure consistent liquidity while scaling operations efficiently.
