Rapid Compliance Support for a Significant Banking Acquisition

Rapid Compliance Support for a Significant Banking Acquisition

A $900 million acquisition by a large commercial bank resulted in a $18 billion wealth portfolio, leading to urgent compliance gaps and increased regulatory scrutiny. We delivered rapid, targeted compliance support—enabling the client to meet regulatory deadlines, maintain operational continuity and stabilize during a critical growth phase.

Challenge

Our wealth compliance client had been facing mounting pressure due to a combination of factors: a recent acquisition, efforts to expand their team with full-time employees, and an increasing volume of regulatory obligations tied to their designation as a Large Financial Institution (LFI). With these demands converging, the client required external support to maintain compliance momentum and operational stability. 

Solution

The Chief Compliance Officer engaged us to support the compliance function. We deployed a project manager and project coordinator to oversee acquisition-related activities and ensure alignment across teams. We also provided specialized support for: 

  • Risk control self-assessments (RCSA)  
  • Large Financial Institution (LFI) 
  • Investment management and funds 
  • Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) and broker-dealer operations 

Outcome

Our team supported the client for 15 months, delivering resources faster and more cost-effectively than Big Four and strategic consulting firms. This enabled the client to meet project demands while simultaneously building out their internal compliance team. Our speedtomarket and flexible delivery model allowed the client to maintain compliance momentum during a critical growth phase, bridging the talent gap and supporting long-term team development.
