We offer a different perspective

I approached Advisory Services at short notice to undertake an AML/KYC gap analysis. The resulting report was extremely detailed, whilst being in a format that presented the information on a case-by-case basis, providing details of the documents reviewed, the assessment, key findings and an overall conclusion. I would have no hesitation in using Advisory Services again.

The team are professional, responsive, having a genuine dedication to client success. They took time to understand our needs and challenges, ensuring that solutions provided were not only effective but also aligned with our business objectives. One of the standout aspects of our collaboration was the seamless integration of their expertise into our existing workflows. Advisory Services didn’t just offer recommendations, they actively worked with our team to implement changes, providing valuable training and support throughout the process. This hands-on approach fostered a collaborative environment, making the entire compliance journey not only manageable but also empowering for our team.

We engaged Advisory Services to perform a bespoke piece of work on behalf of the Board. Ethan diligently identified areas of focus for the Board to consider further and his report was clear, concise and delivered within very short timescales.

As a NED I support executives to provide good governance, manage risks and enable investment strategy, whilst protecting investor interests. This role is becoming increasingly challenging with the ever-demanding regulatory and legal environment (not to mention global macro events). Keeping abreast of changes in the world of director duties and compliance is The sessions were excellent. Cathy and Mel tailored the sessions for me and my portfolio, provided relevant case studies and facilitated my many questions. They also provided a personalised set of (many) slides which saved me taking notes, enabling me to focus on the learning and have a reference point in future. We are lucky in Guernsey to have many opportunities for CPD, however, it would be difficult to beat the personalised approach from two excellent professionals.

Cathy’s expertise and understanding of the challenges we face place her uniquely in her ability to advise our members of staff at all levels in a practical, yet personable approach. It has been a pleasure to liaise with Cathy from the outset in determining a bespoke training programme that has been tailored to meet our business needs. Her knowledgeable sessions have left a lasting impression and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Cathy’s services.

During her time with us, Emily has proven to be a delightful asset to the Corporate Secretarial team. She fitted in so well with everyone and was keen to assist wherever she could. Emily played an integral part in ensuring that the Client Investment Licensee Business Risk Assessments and Cyber Security Policy Statements were completed ahead of deadlines. She has also participated in board meetings and prepared minutes to a high standard and within required timelines. Thank you, Emily, for the invaluable assistance you provided us over the last few months. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we wish you well for your future.

Jodie has provided a fantastic service, being knowledgeable, proactive, diligent and courteous when dealing with both our clients and ourselves. Jodie has made great progress with our project and I would have no hesitation in recommending Jodie to others.

As part of our engagement with ASG, they supported us in implementing planned system developments, working with us to shortlist and select preferred systems providers in the field of compliance and monitoring. During the process, ASG identified and helped to mitigate costs and key service issues which has proven to be very beneficial for us.
