Acuity Analytics Expands US Capabilities with Continuus Acquisition

LONDON, Oct. 7, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Acuity Analytics, a global data-driven technology and analytics company serving financial institutions and corporates, has expanded its US data and technology capabilities through the acquisition of Continuus, a US-based data consultancy specializing in financial services. The acquisition, completed on October 1, 2023, brings 37 specialists to Acuity Analytics, enhancing its data strategy, governance, engineering, and cloud data platforms expertise. This move strengthens Acuity's presence in the United States, its largest market, and complements its global delivery network.

Continuus, founded to help financial institutions maximize the value of their data and technology investments, has worked primarily with asset managers and other financial institutions. The consultancy focuses on developing enterprise data strategies, establishing governance frameworks, and delivering large-scale cloud data transformation and engineering programs. The acquisition strengthens Acuity Analytics' presence in the US and further enhances its ability to help clients unlock value from their data while adopting new technologies with confidence.

Acuity Analytics has a history of strategic acquisitions to bolster its technology and data capabilities. In 2024, the company acquired PPA Group, adding technology-enabled data capabilities and machine learning expertise within commercial lending. In 2025, Acuity Analytics 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.

With more than 7,800 analysts, data specialists, and technologists across 28 locations, Acuity Analytics combines deep financial-services expertise with engineering, digital, data, and AI capabilities. The company supports more than 850 organizations in improving efficiency, gaining better insight, and making better decisions. Acuity was established as a separate business from Moody's Corporation in 2019 following its acquisition by Equistone Partners Europe. In January 2023, funds advised by global private equity firm Permira acquired a majority stake, with Equistone remaining invested as a minority shareholder.

The deal comes at a time when financial institutions are increasing investment in modern data infrastructure to support regulatory requirements, improve decision-making, and enable the wider deployment of AI. As organizations move beyond experimentation and scale AI across the enterprise, the quality, governance, and accessibility of data have become increasingly important. By combining Continuus's specialist expertise with Acuity Analytics' broader technology capabilities, the group will provide an end-to-end offering spanning data strategy, governance, analytics, operations, and AI-enabled business workflows.
