Risk & Compliance Advisory
that builds your payment technology.
Practitioners, not theorists. We've been the regulator, the operator, the builder, and the founder — so our advisory gives you the whole puzzle, not just a piece.
Advisory-first. Every hour is a senior hour. The people you meet are the people who do the work.
The Problem
The Advisory Space Is Fragmented
Consultants who've never operated. Operators who've never regulated. Regulators who've never built. Every firm gives you a piece of the puzzle.
Consultants
Smart analysis and deep frameworks — but they've never sat in the actual seat. They deliver a report and call it a day.
Regulators
Deep enforcement expertise — but they've never built or scaled a compliance operation. They'll tell you what's wrong, but not how to fix it.
Domain Experts
Brilliant in their lane — but narrow perspective on how systems interconnect. Deep in one lane, blind to how the lanes connect.
Operators
Process excellence at scale — but limited regulatory depth and policy sophistication. They'll run the machine, but can't redesign it.
The Answer
We give you the whole puzzle.
Our team has done all three — regulated, operated, and built — and we're still building. A consultant gives you a report and walks away. We give you the report — and when you're ready, we can build what it describes.
Our Team's Track Record
What We Deliver
Advisory. Build. Embed. Lead.
Start anywhere. Grow in any direction. Designed to be examination-ready from day one.
Risk & Compliance Advisory
Holistic risk assessment that connects the dots across your entire enterprise — licensing, sanctions, BSA/AML, Travel Rule, transaction monitoring, and financial crime systems — so nothing falls through the gaps.
Delivered: Enterprise risk assessment, gap analysis, remediation roadmap, technology fit analysis.
Program Build & Remediation
Principals build your risk and compliance programs alongside your team. Two-week delivery cycles. Embedded in your environment. From assessment through implementation.
Delivered: Policies, risk frameworks, control libraries, testing plans, audit-ready documentation.
Technology & Vendor Advisory
Injectable payment modules designed and built for your environment — not hosted by us. Compliance automation and real-time testing platforms. Plus vendor-agnostic guidance on KYC/KYB, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and infrastructure providers — from selection through implementation.
Delivered: Payment code deployed in your stack, compliance automation platforms, vendor selection & implementation support.
Fractional Leadership
Chief Risk Officer · Chief Compliance Officer · General Counsel
Senior practitioners embedded in your organization part-time — with the experience of having held these roles at scale. Executive-level risk, compliance, and legal leadership without the full-time overhead.
Delivered: Embedded executive leadership, board & regulator-ready reporting, program oversight & accountability.
Our Approach
Operators, Not Just Consultants
No bait-and-switch. No junior teams. We're participants, not observers.
Founders Do the Work
Every hour is a senior hour. You get principals — a former enforcement attorney, technologists, and operators — not junior analysts learning on your dime.
Two-Week Delivery Cycles
We work in sprints. Every two weeks, you get tangible deliverables. Clear milestones. Real progress.
We Don't Just Advise — We Can Build It Too
Most advisory firms hand you a report and wish you luck. We have the technical team to build what we recommend — deployed in your environment, on your timeline. Whether you need the blueprint or the building, we're equipped for both.
Examination-Ready from Day One
Everything we deliver is designed for regulatory scrutiny — because we've sat on both sides of the examination table for 30+ years.
