ABOUT IFA CONSULTANCY
I set up IFA Consultancy almost in 2004 to provide a compliance consultancy service to Independent Financial Advisers. Regulation then spread to mortgages, and then insurance, and today has an impact on firms whose main business is not primarily financial services, e.g. finance brokers, motor traders and consumer credit businesses. I have a wide variety of experience across the small business sector as I have helped these clients with their compliance needs for almost 20 years.
Our Key Aims:
- to concentrate on small retail firms, predominantly Independent Financial Advisers (because of our expertise in this sector);
- to help firms through regular monthly or quarterly support;
- to support firms with remote services, such as policy writing and remote file checking;
- to provide a personalised service to each firm;
- to work with a limited number of clients to ensure we are available when needed
I am an IFA Compliance specialist; I had 10 years’ experience as an Independent Financial Adviser prior to my career as a compliance consultant. I worked as an IFA at a bank and then in the private sector and was a manager in both environments. I am qualified to Diploma level with additional qualifications in pensions, mortgages and supervision.
I like to build relationships with a firm rather than leaving them with a set of instructions to follow.
Whether you are new to regulation, looking to replace your current compliance support, or looking for compliance help for the first time on specific issues then I believe I can help.
IFA Consultancy is a member of the Association of Professional Compliance Consultants. The APCC monitor their member firms to ensure that they provide quality support services and abide by the industry’s code of ethics.
