FCA Compliance Consulting Services.
RRCA helps FCA-regulated firms and firms entering regulated markets navigate complex compliance requirements with practical consulting, credible challenge, and tailored support across authorisation, governance, audits, and remediation.
FCA Compliance Consulting
Firms typically need FCA compliance support when governance has to catch up with growth, boards need stronger compliance evidence at time of regulatory changes, monitoring or remediation is under pressure, or when permissions, product changes or cross-border activity make the regulatory position more complex.
That often includes firms expanding into or out of the UK, firms operating across the UK and EEA, and firms that need sharper oversight across teams, entities or business lines.
What differentiates RRCA is that we combine consulting support with practical implementation. Alongside advisory, audit, remediation and authorisation work, we can help firms operationalise compliance.
RRCA provides boutique FCA compliance consulting for firms that need more than generic advice. We help UK and EEA financial services businesses build governance, controls and evidence frameworks that are proportionate to their permissions, operating model and regulatory risk.
We support start-ups, established FCA-authorised firms and businesses entering regulated markets, particularly where internal teams need practical senior input without the cost and rigidity of a full in-house build. Our work is tailored, hands-on and designed to solve live regulatory problems, not just document them.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
What does an FCA compliance consultant do?
An FCA compliance consultant helps firms understand, implement, review, and strengthen the systems and controls needed to meet regulatory obligations. That can include governance design, health checks, FCA authorisation support, remediation work, Consumer Duty input, and improving the quality of compliance evidence and reporting.
Do all financial services firms need a compliance consultant?
Not every firm needs full-time external support, but every firm carrying on regulated activity needs appropriate compliance oversight. External consulting is often valuable where a firm needs specialist input, independent challenge, additional capacity, or support for a specific project, regulatory issue, or change programme.
What’s the difference between compliance support and consulting?
Compliance consulting is usually project-led or specialist, such as remediation, authorisation, framework design, or an independent review. Compliance support is typically ongoing and may include regular advisory input, monitoring, governance support, reporting assistance, and periodic challenge.
How much does FCA compliance consulting cost?
The cost depends on the scope, urgency, and complexity of the work. RR Compliance Associates can work on a fixed-fee, hourly, or retainer basis, depending on the service required. The right model depends on your permissions, internal resource, and the level of hands-on support your firm needs.
