Are you a good fit for Avyse Partners?

Not all firms and / or people are a good fit for us. For example if you’re looking for a firm to tick a few boxes because you have to – e.g. annual training, but have no interest in the content or purpose we’re not the right firm for you. Below are some scenarios that may resonate:

 Scenarios:

  • You’re under regulatory scrutiny and have been asked to hire a Skilled Person to review a particular aspect of your business. You want a sensible, pragmatic consultancy to do the work that will apply a lens of proportionality. You also want to be able to extract some value through the process – such as insight on how peer firms address similar issues. And although you recognise that there will be a cost to this, you want fair value and don’t want the consultancy to see the engagement as an open cheque book.

  • You’re under regulatory scrutiny and you need external support to fix the issues that have been identified by the Regulator. You need a consultancy that can move quickly and hit the ground running. You don’t want an army of juniors that you need to spend significant time training on the job, you want experienced hands that can calm the situation quickly.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  • Experience

    We hire seasoned professionals that have a combination of at least two of industry, regulator and consulting experiences. Our people are pragmatic and can view situations from a number of angles. As a result our company is more diamond shape than pyramid (unlike our larger competitors). We are firmly of the view that clients should expect their consultants to be able to hit the ground running.

  • People

    We are a people business. People buy from people. Therefore we hire people that bring a human element to consulting. We don’t hire compliance robots that can only converse in compliance lingo. We hire rounded people that can get into the nitty gritty of very detailed rules, but who can also have conversations regarding wider impacts to your business model and how a specified approach fits into your overall strategy. Our people are comfortable liaising with Heads of Compliance and MLROs – but also CEOs, CFOs, CROs recognising how the information for each audience needs to be subtly tweaked.

  • Long-term strategy

    We look to build relationships based on trust and quality of output. If the right answer for you is less time from us we will tell you that. We will always prioritise long term relationships over short term gain. A significant number of our clients stay with us or make us the first port of call when they require some assistance.

  • Competitive costing

    We have been careful not to build a bloated back office that ultimately results in the need to charge higher rates. As a result we can offer competitive rates for high quality people that produces value for money for you, whilst allowing us to maintain a margin that we’re happy with.

  • Communication

    Our written output is in plain English, technically sound, and crucially gets to the point – quickly. We’re not interested in producing 300+ page reports in an attempt to justify our fees. We’ll tell you where you should be focusing your attention coupled with practical advice on how to address identified issues.

  • Nimble

    We can move quickly, we can pivot, we’re not encumbered by masses of red tape that ultimately act as a barrier to progress.

  • Forward-looking

    We are constantly challenging ourselves as to what the future looks like and how we can influence the direction of compliance. There are huge strides to be taken in terms of a focus on effectiveness, getting value for money from compliance, and being brave enough to render redundant outdated processes.

Purpose matters

We offer practical expertise to navigate both the volume and complexity of regulatory matters

 
 

With you for the long term

We want to be your preferred partner, for the long term. By putting your interests at the heart of everything we do, we don't think you'll need to look anywhere else for regulatory consultancy services.

Purpose led consulting

We understand that firms make considerable investments into Compliance and are looking for a return on this investment. Avyse partner with you, helping tailor your control framework to the risks your business faces, with a clear focus on outcomes effectiveness. We constantly challenge the value add of processes so firms are getting the most out of their compliance investment.

Insight and experience

The blend of experience of our consultants allows us to come up with balanced conclusions and sensible recommendations. We have worked extensively with a multitude of regulators for a number of years. We know what regulators expect and use this experience to help clients either deal with regulatory issues or ensure they avoid regulatory scrutiny in the first place.

Market positioning

Having all worked in industry as well as large and small consultancies we understand the realities of buying consulting services. We pride ourselves on high quality, practical advice and don't believe clients should have to make a trade off between quality and competitive pricing. It’s all about balance.
