Mike Ayres – Financial Services Sector Specialist
When your firm is authorised by the FCA you can display their badge to demonstrate that you have met the high standards required. With this comes additional demands upon your business to prove that your business is in a strong financial position and can weather any storms that come your way.
In addition you may hold funds on behalf of your clients and doing so increases the requirements on your systems and controls as well as the level of reporting required.
All of this can put a huge burden on your time and take you away from doing the day to day work that can help your business to grow and thrive.
