Compliance partners who think outside the box
“One of their key skills is educating and taking Advisers on the journey to understand that compliance is something to be engaged with, as opposed to feared. Changing a focus and mindset to one of empowerment for our Advisers.”

What to Expect from Kinetic Compliance
✔ We’re problem solvers
We don't just identify issues—we create solutions that work. We break down the legal and regulatory requirements for you so that as a team, we can build something that delivers the best client experience while meeting compliance obligations. During audits, we look beyond surface problems to find process improvements that prevent issues from recurring.
✔ We’re resourceful
We combine legal expertise with practical business experience—a rare mix in compliance consulting. While law firms give complex technical responses, we deliver practical solutions that work in the real world. We understand advice businesses because we've lived it. Whether it's implementing AI for file notes or building a new age SOA, we bring solutions others don't see.
✔ We’re collaborative
We become a true extension of your business by understanding how you operate. Every practice is different, so we take time to learn your unique setup—from adviser numbers to back office processes. Our clients trust us so much they run everything past us, from buying businesses to hiring staff. We won't always tell you what you want to hear, but we'll always tell you what's right. We don't charge by the hour - we are all in.
✔ We spot the red flags
We can spot issues that others miss. Give us five minutes in your business and you will see how we can help you. Without accountability from a third party, many businesses operate in their own vacuum, doing things in the way they are used to. Our external perspective identifies blind spots before they become problems with regulators or clients.
✔ We're commercial and practical
We understand the nuances of financial advice businesses because we've been there and done that—seen virtually every scenario. Our advice isn't just technically correct; it's commercially viable. We create processes that make sense for your specific business, not generic templates that ignore your unique situation.
What we're not.
We don’t circle the drain
We don't waste time with vague advice or endless deliberations. While some consultants refuse to give straight answers, we pride ourselves on being direct and definitive. You won't leave meetings with us wondering what to do next—we provide clear, actionable guidance that moves your business forward.
We are not about tick boxes
Compliance isn't about ticking boxes; it's about understanding the purpose behind the requirements. We focus on what you're ultimately trying to achieve in your business and with your clients, then create compliance approaches that support those goals while keeping you protected. We keep you accountable to what matters.
We don’t give you the answer you want to hear
We won't give you the answer you want to hear just to keep you happy—we'll give you the answer that's right. Our respect in the industry comes from our integrity and willingness to have difficult conversations when needed.
We don’t work with just anyone
We hold ourselves to an incredibly high standard and expect the same from our clients. If you're looking to skirt the corners of compliance requirements, we're not the right partner. We're interested in working with businesses that genuinely want to improve and have the right attitude toward compliance.
We don’t bamboozle with legal jargon
We strip away unnecessary complexity to focus on what's legally required. We explain not just what you need to do, but why it matters and how to implement it practically in your business.
