Risk & Compliance Advisory
that builds your 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.
Regulators & Institutions
Where Our Team Has Served
Advisory experience spanning banking, securities, money transmission, card payments & card networks, cross-border payments, BSA/AML, enterprise risk, commodities, and financial-crime compliance
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.

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.
