Managed services provider Mirador has unveiled a new international business hub in Edinburgh in a bid to ‘better serve its non US-clients.’

The firm now has client service personnel on the ground to counsel these clients, choosing Edinburgh for not only the obvious time-zone benefits, but for ‘its business-friendly resources and its thriving tech community.’

The decision to base their European operations in Edinburgh could be seen as a coup for the city’s fintech scene, with Mirador generally serving those who manage significant wealth: ultra/high net worth wealth advisors, families & family offices, endowments, and foundations.

“In order for Mirador to continue to deliver exceptional client service, we have to have a shop in Europe,” said Mirador CEO & President Joseph Larizza. “

He added: “We thoroughly looked into other sites, and I can say without hesitation that Edinburgh is where we need to be. Senior staff members willingly volunteered to relocate, we have hired our first Scotland-based employee and are actively recruiting additional talent.”

“Having been with Mirador since 2020, I have experienced first-hand the growth of our company,” said Sr. Associate, Reporting, Blake Johnson who is one of the first US-based employees to relocate to Scotland.

He added: “I know how important real-time availability is to our clients and am thrilled to be establishing the Mirador office in Scotland. It is exciting to be in this historic city, interacting with such smart and vibrant people.”.

Mark Hallan, Director of Global Investment at Scottish Development International, said: “With its commitment to utilizing technology to serve the financial needs of its customers, Mirador, Inc’s decision to open a business hub in Edinburgh is most welcome.
