Financial Crime Performance, Efficiency & Control

Build a high-performance operation with the right tech, data and operating model

Leveraging quality content
Overview

Most financial crime teams are drowning in an ocean of inefficiency.

Wasted effort, disconnected processes, manual workarounds, technology that is anything but slick, and data no one completely trusts.

Controls are weak, costs high, and anything out of the ordinary feels hard.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We know, because we’ve helped clients fix it.

High performance comes from operational design, with people, technology and data all working together. We start by understanding where things are falling down, where the opportunities lie, then make the right changes to how people work, how systems are used, and how information flows through the operation.

The result is a faster, more joined-up function that delivers better outcomes with less effort.

How we help

Technology alone rarely delivers true value. Real gains come when it is part of a well-designed operating model: clear processes, clean and connected data, the right tooling, and skilled people who know how to use it.

Get that right and the benefits spread across the business.

We are here to make that happen. We have done it many times, driving efficiency and effectiveness into financial crime operations.

Whether upgrading existing systems, integrating new tech, or streamlining workflows, we deliver faster results and greater efficiency - always tailored to your needs.

Our Strengths

What we do best

Improving operational performance
We work across your end-to-end financial crime operations to identify waste, reduce friction, and strengthen control. That includes diagnosing root causes, spotting opportunities, and designing target operating models that are built around clear ownership and more efficient handoffs.

Building solid data foundations
We help you move from patchy, inconsistent data to a joined-up model you can rely on. That enables better decision-making, faster investigations, and more confident control over risks.

Making technology deliver
We act as independent advisers - helping you choose the right technology, implement it effectively, and get full value from what you already have.

Automating the right things
We design, build and optimise technology-enabled controls that are aligned to your risk appetite and business needs - removing manual effort without introducing risk.

Streamlining handoffs between people and systems
We simplify the end-to-end user journey - reducing delay and duplication, and making it easier for your teams to do the right thing, first time.

 

Why this matters
Technology must work with your actual data, processes, and customer scenarios—not just a vendor’s idealised version of the world. Having worked on many similar financial crime projects, we help you find the right balance between customised and standard solutions.

Whether it’s implementing new platforms, reconfiguring existing tools, building from scratch, or using simple solutions like Power BI or Tableau, we ensure your setup is practical, effective, and free from unnecessary complexity.

Challenges we address

  • Breaking down data silos for better visibility and compliance.
  • Selecting and implementing technology such as CLM, KYC, Screening, Transaction Monitoring and Fraud detection systems.
  • Using data insights and automation to streamline AML/KYC processes using tools such as Alteryx, Power Automate, and UiPath.
  • Migrating from legacy systems with minimal disruption.
  • Speeding up the adoption of new tech by demonstrating its success in key areas.
