Sikich partners with Boston University’s business school on intelligent delivery

Accounting and consulting firm Sikich has entered a strategic collaboration with Boston University’s Questrom Business School to co-develop intelligence strategy frameworks for life sciences, insurance, and professional services firms.

The partners will create operational delivery models and standards for highly regulated industries, as well as introduce advanced intelligent delivery teams that accelerate project outcomes and strengthen compliance.

The collaboration brings together Sikich’s regulatory expertise in digital transformation with Questrom’s academic research and forward-looking curriculum.

Questrom’s faculty and students specializing in data governance, operations technology, and industry benchmarks will lead the collaboration.

Sikich plans to integrate the co-developed frameworks into its client delivery methodology within the next year.

“In the race to harness true digital intelligence, the market demands not just technology, but systematic, repeatable frameworks for high-impact delivery,” said Bobby Roy, principal at Sikich. “Our collaboration with Questrom is a bold move to define the standard for operational excellence in Intelligence delivery. We are not just participating in the evolution, we are engineering the instruction manual for the next era of data-driven business leadership.”

Sikich is headquartered in Chicago and has approximately 2,000 people worldwide delivering audit, tax, and consulting services.

Questrom was founded in 1913 and has approximately 2,200 students enrolled in its undergraduate program and approximately 900 full- and part-time MBA students.

“This collaboration with Sikich reflects Questrom Experiential Learning in action – where students help develop solutions that are embedded in how organizations execute AI transformation, not simply studied in theory,” said Susan Fournier, Questrom’s dean.
