Why Advice Firm Compliance?

Advice Firm Compliance Ltd was founded by former FCA-authorised Compliance Oversight and Money Laundering Reporting Officer, Ian Beardow, with over 26 years of experience working in and alongside Independent Financial Adviser firms. Unlike many compliance consultancies, we do not simply provide guidance and leave you to act on it. We work directly alongside you and your team to carry out the compliance work itself, giving you the practical, hands-on support that most compliance services do not offer.

We understand the pressures that come with running a small advice firm. Managing clients, leading a team, and growing a business leaves little time to stay on top of an increasingly demanding regulatory environment. Our role is to take that burden off your desk, ensuring your firm remains fully compliant while you focus on what you do best.

Ian set up Advice Firm Compliance Ltd after spending years inside a small IFA firm, doing the compliance work himself. With over 40 years in financial services, AFC offers something different from the usual consultancy: Working alongside you and taking the practical work off your plate, so you can get back to looking after your clients.
