Support Scalable Growth

As your business expands, so do operational complexities. An external audit ensures your systems and controls are ready to support sustainable scaling, benchmarked against industry standards and best practices.

What our clients say about us

Working with Bogdan to deliver successful sales and service outcomes across several regions and tier one financial regulators is a memorable time in my career. Despite the significant differences in time and physical location, Bogdan delivered effective leadership to the Australian-based sales team and steered strategic decision making through increasingly uncertain regulatory conditions.

John L.

Bogdan managed to build one of the best sales and management teams I know. It is always ahead of competitors and the marketing, sales and management strategy is always rewarded in numbers. He fully understands the importance of securing IT infrastructure and its implementation. We have discussions on various technology projects and together we manage to choose the most cost-effective implementations.

I've been extremely impressed with Maria's ability to work on her own initiative and finish work to a high standard. Along with her enthusiasm, positivity and energy, she acted as an integral part of the team in achieving project goals. Furthermore, I would like to also mention that her knowledge within the governance, compliance and risk sectors are exceptional.

Aristos C.

MPF Global Markets

Maria is very knowledgeable, articulate and a pleasure to work with. She was someone I always trusted and looked forward to for guidance and advice.

Nick X.

EC Markets

Maria is a very keen person, worried about her customers' financial status. More than once she proactively called me to talk about the investments I had and suggest changes based on the environment. Most of the Wealth Managers or investment advisors are worried about selling you something. She's very different. That's the reason I recommend her.
