We are one firm with three specialist arms as follows:
CS Compliance Solutions primarily serves the smaller financial adviser firms.We provide assistance to firms who are responsible for their own compliance standards. We can help with one-off assignments to help ease workloads or to cover for sickness and maternity leave.
For smaller firms we can offer an individually tailored infrastructure to ensure you have compliant standards in place for all business written. If you require help in performing pension transfers we have experience in this area and will review such cases before submission on a fixed fee basis.
We offer a complaint handling service that allows you to pass the conduct of the complaint to us. We have experience of saving our clients over £1 million by successfully defending claims and have a very impressive record with the Financial Ombudsman. Outsourcing complaints handling to us will bring a robust defence to your company and be proactive in stopping people from succeeding with claims that arise from pursuing bandwagons!
For larger firms we have a full range of outsourcing services and we are happy to quote for fully outsourcing the compliance needs of IFA firms with up to 50 advisers. Click here to visit our outsourcing page
