Boutique specialist recruitment for compliance, risk, and financial crime roles across banking, fintech, and financial services in Charlotte and the wider Carolinas.
We recruit exclusively within compliance and risk. Every candidate we present has been assessed not just on CV keywords, but on regulatory depth — because your clients, your regulators, and your board deserve better than a lucky guess.
We do one thing: compliance and risk. That means our candidate network, market intelligence, and client relationships are all built around the same narrow discipline — which makes us significantly better at it than a generalist firm that dabbles.
Our founders bring deep cross-market experience placing senior compliance professionals across highly regulated international financial centres. That global perspective shapes how we identify, assess, and attract the best compliance talent in the US.
We know who is hiring, who is available, and what the market is paying — right now. Charlotte's financial services sector is growing faster than almost any other US city, and we're embedded in it from day one.
No layers of management. No process theatre. When you brief us on a role, you speak directly to the person searching for your candidate. First shortlist within 72 hours. Feedback loop measured in hours, not weeks.
You only pay when we successfully place a candidate. No upfront retainers, no hidden fees. Our incentive is entirely aligned with yours — find the right person, first time.
If a placed candidate leaves within 90 days for any reason outside your control, we conduct a free replacement search. We stand behind every placement we make.

Regular check-ins during the first 90 days for both client and candidate. Our 90-day replacement guarantee backs every permanent placement.

Talk to UsWe work with compliance and risk professionals at every career stage — from Analyst to Chief Compliance Officer. If you are actively looking or simply open to hearing about the right opportunity, we would like to speak with you.
Your details are never shared without your explicit permission. Every conversation is treated with complete discretion — whether you are actively looking or just exploring.
We know what roles are available, what firms are paying, and which opportunities are not yet advertised. Our market intelligence gives you a genuine edge in your search.
Not sure whether to move? We give honest, unbiased guidance — including telling you to stay put if that is the right answer. Our reputation depends on the right outcome, not a quick fee.
In compliance, the wrong hire is not just an inconvenience — it is a regulatory risk. Every candidate we present has been assessed on their technical depth, not just their CV. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every single search.
