Transformation, true expertise, measured impact.

Industries we serve

We work with FCA-regulated firms where the gap between what the regulator expects and what the firm can currently demonstrate is widest. Our engagements are scoped to a deliverable. The output is a governance map, an accountability trail, or a regulatory change delivered, not an open advisory retainer.
Investment Banking & Capital Markets

Large institutions need to demonstrate control across complex product lines, cross-border operations, and the AI tools running within them. We map infrastructure and third-party dependencies, build the governance overlay, and identify where accountability gaps sit. Outcomes: earlier detection of issues, faster closure of thematic reviews or supervisory queries.

Fintech & Payments (EMIs, PIs, PayFacs, PSPs) 

Fast growth creates vendor sprawl, AML frameworks that haven't kept pace, and accountability gaps that only become visible under supervisory pressure. We map the tech stack first, then address what it reveals: transaction monitoring calibration, KYC/KYB design, sanctions screening, and promotions governance. Outcomes: cleaner MI in 30 days, sharper alert-to-case ratios, lower residual risk as you scale.

RegTech & Technology Vendors

Your clients need assurance they can put in front of a regulator or procurement team. We produce defensible model documentation, validation reports, and control mapping aligned to client obligations, and for early-stage firms, we shape products to meet regulatory expectations from day one. Outcomes: shorter sales cycles, reduced audit friction.

Authorisation Candidates & High-Growth Scale-Ups

Regulatory approval demands governance that binds in practice, not policies that gather dust. We prepare business plans and application packs, assign clear policy ownership, stand up MI starter kits, and define acceptance criteria for tools and vendors.  Outcomes: smoother regulator interactions, faster query closure, and inspection-ready operations from day one. 

How We Engage

Diagnostic

Fixed-fee diagnostic scoped to a defined output. Milestone delivery with acceptance criteria agreed upfront. Ongoing governance maintenance once embedded, not an open advisory retainer.

Evidence first

Every control mapped to a rule reference, a named owner, and MI you can put in a board pack or hand to an examiner.

Vendor agnostic

We hold no vendor relationships and take no referral fees. We work with your existing stack where it holds up, and procure independently when it doesn't.
