Big-firm compliance infrastructure.
Without the big firm.
We design and build the systems regulated firms run on - client onboarding, compliance-check engines, client portals, data foundations. AI-fast to build, old-school underneath. Everything we ship, you own.
Compliance is a systems problem being solved with overtime.
The obligations are the same whether you have 200 clients or 20,000 - what differs is the machinery. Watch the difference:
That gap has a number.
Big firms run compliance on infrastructure; smaller firms run it on spreadsheets, re-keyed data and late nights. Drag the sliders. Watch your number.
Systems for the obligations that eat your week.
consumer_duty_reporting →
Stop spot-checking samples. A checks engine that monitors every client outcome continuously, with evidence generated as a by-product.
onboarding_&_kyc
Client onboarding that runs itself - document collection, KYC/AML checks, e-signatures. Weeks become days, and the audit trail writes itself.
data_foundation
CRM, platform, billing and comms joined into one governed model - the data access your compliance work has been missing.
Fast where it helps. Boring where it matters.
ai_accelerated_build
We use AI to write, link and test systems dramatically faster than 2022-era consultancies - which is why firms your size can now afford infrastructure only the big firms used to have.
old_school_backend
What ships is deliberately unexciting: relational databases, SQL you can read, secure authentication, role-based access, versioned code. The boring stack is the safe stack.
audit_ready_by_default
Every system assumes a regulator will read it - deterministic rules, full audit logs, evidence as a by-product. AI never makes the compliance decision.
Done right, it pays for itself - capacity back, onboarding faster, margin recovered. We call that Operational Alpha. The method is one arc:
- 01_find - quantify where the manual work and risk live
- 02_capture - build the systems that remove the constraint
- 03_compound - measure quarterly, go after the next seam
FCA-grade by default.
Investment managers, wealth firms, advisers, brokers and insurance intermediaries - where auditability isn't a feature request, it's the operating environment. We're a small, senior engineering team, and this isn't a vertical we also serve - it's the only environment we build in. We're not compliance consultants: your compliance team owns the judgment. We build the machinery that runs it.
also serving:
charities, housing associations and infrastructure contractors - where the same audit-grade discipline applies.
What is manual compliance costing you?
A 20-minute diagnostic call. We'll do the arithmetic with you and tell you honestly whether there's enough trapped cost to justify an engagement.
