We are specialist advisors
in financial services
Partner with us so you can focus on running your business
You want to run your business and delight your clients, not run a risk and compliance department.
Partner with Braithwate to oursource your risk and compliance operational functions.
We leverage our cloud compliance platform to eliminate spreadsheets and emails - cutting cost, reducing operational risk and delivering regulator and audit-friendly traceability.
Embrace digital assets with confidence
By the end of this decade, most financial services will be based on digital assets.
The market landscape and regulatory framework are evolving rapidly and it can be difficult to keep up with the latest developments.
We work with crypto businesses to operate within the rules and we help traditional businesses make the transition to digital assets.
Launch and scale regulated businesses
Being in the financial services business means you will invariably be regulated in some form.
The process of obtaining a regulatory licence requires you to look at your business through the eyes of a regulator.
We work with you to design and launch your business, embracing technology wherever possible - as well as writing and managing your licence application in full.
Navigate the regulatory landscape
The pace of regulatory change won’t let up and manual processes can’t keep up.
Our regulatory experts help you make sense of the rules.
Our RegTech experience can help you stay on top of your regulatory obligations efficiently.
We inform our clients’
strategic decisions
You have an idea for your business; we make it real
Our consultants live and breathe financial services - it’s what we know and love. We work across sectors, from the cutting-edge of crypto to the largest global institutions.
When you want to launch a new business, or you have major strategic choices to make, Braithwate brings the market, operational and regulatory insight you need to make the right decision and move forward with confidence.
We set-up businesses
in a compliant manner
Pragmatic and proportionate risk and compliance
We help our clients get authorised to operate; selecting the most appropriate licence, preparing the regulatory application, drafting policies and procedures, selecting and implementing risk and compliance management systems and coaching staff for regulatory interviews.
And because we know your market and we have experience in the industry - as P&L owners, regulators, compliance officers, risk managers and product owners - we design and implement control frameworks that are tailored to the inherent risks of your business.
We help our clients respond to evolving conditions
Clarity from ambiguity. Simplicity from complexity
The pace of regulatory change overwhelms many firms.
Combining deep regulatory knowledge with commercial savvy, Braithwate helps firms focus on what matters to their business model and strategy. No gold plating, just pragmatic guidance to help navigate the evolving landscape.
We leverage RegTech expertise to reduce the manual work involved in staying current and our proprietary tools to map regulatory obligations to your business profile.
We manage risk and compliance so our clients can focus on their business
Commercial and compliant
Managing risk and compliance is ever more complex and expensive.
With Compliance-as-a-Service, we can manage an entire compliance function or take on specific compliance processes. We leverage our cloud-based compliance management platform (Braithwate Compliance Cloud) to reduce costs, minimise risk and deliver a transparent audit trail.
We offer a Risk & Compliance e-Learning portal, with a broad range of courses to keep your staff’s knowledge up-to-date; customised training courses are also available.
Our approach is commercial and compliant, leaving you to focus on running your business.
We get our clients out of difficult situations
You can’t plan for the unplanned but when the unplanned happens, we are here for you
Sometimes the unexpected happens and things go wrong; whether it is an operational failure, poor historical sales or a regulatory enquiry, we know the BAU does not stop.
We help diagnose the root-cause and fix it efficiently, effectively and discreetly.
With former regulators on our team, we know how to think like a regulator and can help you understand their expectations and how to engage effectively to minimise disruption and penalties so you can get back to running your business.
