Home / Fractional Executive Advisory for Financial Crimes and Compliance Leadership
Organizations across banking, payments and fintech faced escalating regulatory expectations around anti-money laundering, sanctions and broader financial crimes compliance. Executive Management needed a trusted, experienced sounding board who understood both the regulatory landscape and the operational realities of running a financial crimes program, someone who could help evaluate program maturity, prioritize remediation efforts and communicate risk and strategy to boards and regulators with credibility. Many organizations lacked the bandwidth or specialized expertise internally to tackle these challenges.
SolomonEdwards provided fractional executive advisory directly to the Executive Management of several banking, payments and financial services organizations, drawing on senior financial crimes leadership experience to guide program strategy and executive decision-making. Our advisors partnered with leadership teams to assess financial crimes program maturity, prioritize remediation roadmaps and strengthen governance, reporting and escalation practices across AML, sanctions and fraud risk functions.
Working directly with Executive Management and their leadership teams, SolomonEdwards helped translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, risk-based action plans, supported board- and regulator-facing communications, and provided ongoing strategic counsel as programs evolved in response to shifting regulatory expectations and enforcement trends.
These engagements gave Executive Management a trusted executive-level advisor who could help move financial crimes programs forward with clarity and confidence. SolomonEdwards’ advisory support strengthened program governance, sharpened remediation prioritization and improved the quality of risk communication to boards and regulators across multiple organizations.
Several Executive Management have continued to rely on SolomonEdwards for ongoing strategic counsel as their organizations navigate an increasingly complex financial crimes and regulatory environment, reflecting the value of experienced, fractional executive-level advisory support.
