    Industries / Finance

    Software engineering for regulated financial operations.

    We work with UK brokers, lenders, wealth managers, and specialist finance operators on the systems that carry regulated workflow — KYC and AML, case management, document assembly, reporting, and integration with core finance platforms.

    Financial services teams live with two constant pressures: get faster, and stay compliant. Most estates are shaped by that tension — a core system that's slow to change, a policy engine that's part software and part spreadsheet, and a compliance function that reviews everything because nothing else can be trusted. We build the operational software that resolves that tension by making the regulated workflow itself faster, auditable, and cheaper to run.

    The problem we hear

    In finance, the operational cost of compliance is usually the biggest untapped efficiency gain — and the one most systems weren't designed to unlock.

    Every case is a bespoke workflow

    KYC, AML, affordability, and document collection are 'processes' on paper, but each case is put together by hand because the system can't express them cleanly.

    Documents are assembled by copy-paste

    Terms, agreements, illustrations, and letters are re-generated from templates and manual data. It's slow and it introduces errors under audit.

    Reporting is a monthly firefight

    Regulatory returns, management information, and commission reporting depend on manual joins between core, CRM, and spreadsheets.

    How we approach it

    01

    Understand the regulated model

    We work with your first- and second-line teams to map the regulated workflow — including where policy today lives outside any system.

    02

    Design an auditable workflow layer

    Cases with defined states, roles, evidence, and audit trail. Policy expressed in the system, not in a spreadsheet.

    03

    Automate the assembly, not the decision

    Document generation, data collection, and routine checks automated. Regulated decisions remain with humans, with the evidence they need in front of them.

    04

    Give the second line real visibility

    Compliance and risk see the pipeline live, sample cases in-flow, and export defensible evidence. Not a monthly spreadsheet.

    What good looks like

    Case throughput improved because the workflow is expressed in software instead of tribal knowledge.

    Document assembly and data collection automated end-to-end, removing a category of manual errors.

    Regulatory and management reporting generated from live case data, not a monthly spreadsheet sprint.

    A second-line function that can supervise proactively instead of retrospectively.

    Where we typically help

    Case & workflow platforms

    State-driven case management with roles, SLAs, evidence, and full audit trail — designed for regulated processes.

    KYC / AML automation

    Integration with identity, screening, and PEP/sanctions providers, with human-in-the-loop for material decisions.

    Document generation

    Template-based assembly of agreements, illustrations, and letters, with versioning and signature integration.

    Broker & partner portals

    Introducer and partner portals for deal registration, submission, pipeline visibility, and commission reporting.

    Reporting & MI

    Board, regulatory, and commercial reporting sourced from a defined data layer, with lineage and versioning.

    Core system integration

    Integration with lending platforms, wealth platforms, banking APIs, and finance systems — with error handling and reconciliation.

    Anonymised engagements

    Specialist broker back office

    A specialist broker had outgrown its CRM and was running quote generation and case tracking across three tools. We built a custom back-office platform covering pipeline, quote assembly, document generation, and commission tracking, integrated with its lender panel and accounting stack.

    Compliance evidence layer

    A regulated finance operator was compiling second-line evidence for the FCA by manual case-sampling. We built an evidence layer over the case platform, pre-selecting sample sets with full context, cutting the second-line workload significantly.

    Vignettes are anonymised composites drawn from engagements and product work. No client names, logos, or performance figures are implied.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are you regulated?

    No — we are a software consultancy. We work alongside your compliance, risk, and legal functions, and design software that meets the controls they specify.

    Do you have FCA-authorised clients?

    Yes. Our work in this sector supports FCA-authorised operators, and we work within their operational and change controls.

    How do you handle personal and financial data?

    UK data residency by default, encryption at rest and in transit, IAM designed to least-privilege, and DPIA support where warranted.

    Do you integrate with core lending / wealth platforms?

    Yes — via documented APIs where available, and via reconciled batch or CDC integration where the platform is older.

    Can you help with a Consumer Duty programme?

    Yes, from the software side — evidence capture, MI, and operational workflow changes that Consumer Duty requires.

    Compliance load feeling heavy?

    It usually points at workflow and evidence gaps that software can close. Let's have a look at what your team spends its week on.
