Who We Are
Elevating Executive Delivery | Sustaining BAU | Defending Change with Assurance
We are a specialist regulatory and financial crime compliance (FCC) advisory, founded by Shahriar Chowdhury — a senior compliance leader with over 15 years' experience across global banks, high-growth startups, and agile delivery environments. We help institutions navigate regulatory change, uplift FCC frameworks, and embed sustainable controls across global and regional markets.
Our Background
Our experience spans large-scale regulatory uplift, operating model design, governance framework, data-driven enterprise risk assessments, and assurance, with a proven record of aligning stakeholders across the three lines of defense and delivering regulator-ready outcomes under scrutiny.
Our Model
We combine hands-on senior involvement with a trusted network of freelance regulatory compliance and FCC subject matter experts (SMEs) — delivering scalable, regulator-ready solutions with embedded change and enduring BAU capability. We come with sleeves rolled up — ready to engage, deliver, and embed change where it matters.
Our Solutions
We safeguard senior executives by aligning program delivery through governance, cadence, and cross-functional buy-in.
Our Fees
Our fees are structured to reflect the depth of expertise and delivery effort involved, supporting a sustainable and mutually beneficial partnership.

We bring clarity, cadence, and control — enabling Heads of Risk, Compliance, Financial Crime, MLROs, and transformation leaders to deliver with confidence, operate Business as Usual (BAU) with impact, and defend change with assurance.
