Compliance infrastructure builder. Chief Compliance Officer and BSA Officer turned founder. Building the tools that compliance teams actually need to operate independently.
Chief Compliance Officer, BSA Officer, and Principal of Financial Crime for a global payments network. From startups to global institutions, I have built and scaled compliance infrastructure through periods of hypergrowth on more than one occasion. BSA/AML program architecture, transaction monitoring system design, identity verification, payment network oversight, and regulatory examination across sponsor bank programs, digital assets platforms, and payment facilitators.
I started Forrest Fintech Consulting because the compliance consulting model is broken. Firms are incentivized to keep you dependent. I build infrastructure you own, programs you can run, and then I leave. That is the entire business model.
Compliance infrastructure and advisory for fintechs, sponsor banks, and payment platforms. Builder of the Ranger compliance workbench.
End-to-end compliance program ownership at a fintech payment facilitator. BSA/AML, transaction monitoring, KYC/KYB, sponsor bank oversight, regulatory examination, and payment network compliance.
Financial crime program oversight for a global payments network. Sanctions, AML, fraud, and compliance infrastructure at institutional scale.
Ranger is a purpose-built compliance workbench. Transaction monitoring with tiered rule authoring. Case management. SAR pipeline. Sanctions screening. KYC/KYB lifecycle. Multi-tenant architecture. Every deployment is scoped from the ground up, delivered as owned infrastructure, and documented for independent operation. No subscription. No data lock-in.
Defined before we start. No hourly billing. No change orders unless you change the scope.
Source code, infrastructure, documentation. Nothing lives in my systems. Nothing disappears when the engagement ends.
I do not accept referral fees, commissions, or revenue share from any vendor I evaluate or recommend.
The engagement is designed to make your team self-sufficient. I am not trying to become a permanent fixture.
