What is it?

​

Our Fractional Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs) provide part-time or project-based compliance services to companies.Your company might not need to hire a compliance officer, or even maintain a full-time employee dedicated to compliance in order to meet all regulatory compliance requirements.

Compliance is not optional if you work in FinTech or Financial Services with today's complex challenges but outsourcing the CCO position can actually provide some valuable advantages.
