While many firms debate return-to-office mandates, Bell & Holmes has built a different model: remote-first research operations designed for speed, scale, and global reach. 

For private equity and consulting teams working under strict deal windows, this isn’t a cultural choice—it’s a strategic advantage. 

Speed Through Global Coverage 

Deals don’t pause when offices close. At Bell & Holmes, we have analysts positioned around the globe, giving us the flexibility to adapt seamlessly to diverse markets, languages, and business contexts. Which is why we deliver first results in 48 hours; an edge when every day counts.

And the data supports it. A Bureau of Labor Statistics study found that from 2019 to 2021, industries with larger shifts to remote work experienced an average productivity gain of 1.2%. For teams managing multimillion-dollar deal timelines, even marginal gains translate into faster diligence and reduced risk. 

Access to Global Talent 

Remote-first means Bell & Holmes isn’t limited to a single hiring market. Our consultants include graduates of elite universities and multilingual researchers embedded across 140+ countries. 

This allows us to conduct dozens of interviews per project in over 35 languages, providing both the qualitative depth and geographic coverage PE and consulting clients need. 

It’s not just reach; it’s quality. Studies show that remote workers are up to 40% more productive than their office-bound peers, and hybrid setups reduce turnover by 33%. That stability translates into consistent delivery for clients. 

Security and Compliance

In high-stakes research, speed is nothing without trust. That’s why all Bell & Holmes consultants operate under strict NDAs and compliance frameworks, ensuring client confidentiality and data security across every geography. 

For PE and consulting teams, the debate isn’t between remote and office work. It’s fast vs. slow. Global vs. limited. Certainty vs. guesswork. 

Bell & Holmes’ remote-first model delivers faster, more innovative, and more secure research, so your team never misses a window of opportunity.
