Firm58’s founders recognized that the growth of electronic communications networks (ECNs) had introduced a significant increase in both trade volume and complexity, and with it, a challenge for manual and outdated middle- and back- office systems. Yet, firms continued to focus on streamlining front-office systems further exacerbatering the critical operational challenges that occur after the trade is made. Recognizing that these challenges would only become more complex over time, Firm58 was created.

What’s in a Name?
Inspired by the challenge of their favorite sport and the monumental effort to redefine the middle and back office, our cofounders named the company Firm58 based on a golf score that has never been shot on the PGA tour (59 is the record).
Firm58 represents aspiration, and we strive to exceed expectations in all we do.
