Retained COMPLIANCE Support
Annual compliance requirements delivered without the deadline panic
Your compliance team knows the mandatory work needs doing. But business demands and ad-hoc requests always take priority. We take the annual burden off your desk - completely.
Your compliance officers spend their days on projects, queries, and business advisory. Then December arrives and the mandatory annual work still isn’t done.
What gets pushed to December? Policy reviews, monitoring, risk assessments, board reports – it all gets pushed to the bottom of the list. Until suddenly it’s urgent.
Then it’s a scramble. Quality suffers, stress peaks, but the work absolutely must be done. Every year, the same cycle.
Our support packages are built from decades of experience running compliance functions and feeling and seeing the pain points. We cover the key regulatory requirements most firms let slide when day-to-day work gets in the way. Let us keep you audit-ready, so you can focus on running your business.

Who is this for?
For regulated financial services firms where:
Compliance teams are lean but regulatory obligations aren’t
Mandatory annual work consistently becomes a year-end crisis
You need institutional-quality deliverables without institutional overheads
Flexibility matters more than rigid service tiers
Why clients choose our retained support
- Eliminate the December year-end scramble: Mandatory work delivered throughout the year means Q4 doesn’t become a compliance crisis
- Institutional-grade quality without institutional overheads: Expertise from building regulatory functions at major banks, scaled for smaller firms
- Compliance officers focus on strategic work: Your team advises the business and manages regulatory change whilst we deliver the cyclical mandatory requirements
- Complete delivery certainty: No hoping internal resources become available, no last-minute external support searches
What this looks like in practice
We integrate with your existing compliance function as a dedicated resource for all mandatory annual work. Some clients prefer weekly check-ins and collaborative delivery; others want us to work autonomously and present completed deliverables. Some want everything consolidated into quarterly board packs; others need monthly management reporting. The deliverables stay consistent – it’s the working relationship that adapts to your governance structure.
the solution
We become your dedicated resource for all mandatory annual compliance requirements – from regulatory reporting to attestations, from policy reviews to board papers. You set the scope based on what would genuinely free up your time, and we deliver it throughout the year with no deadline pressure on you.
Our retainers are structured around your specific needs and the complexity of your regulatory obligations. Our fees reflect the scope and complexity of your compliance burden. A solo-regulated investment platform requires different support than a dual-regulated private bank. We’ll discuss specific investment after understanding your requirements.
