Application readiness review
We help organise business plans, forecasts, ownership details, management information and financial assumptions before the regulatory application is prepared.
FCA Authorisation Support
FCA application and compliance support for ambitious UK businesses.
In collaboration with Alumni Compliance
Build the right finance, governance and compliance story before you apply.
Many financial services firms need to be authorised or registered by the Financial Conduct Authority before carrying on regulated activity. FMX Accountants helps clients prepare the financial, operational and management information needed for a stronger application, working in collaboration with Alumni Compliance for specialist FCA compliance input.
Alumni Compliance presents FCA authorisation support across consumer credit, payment services, money remittance, fund authorisation and wider compliance consulting. FMX adds accounting, tax, payroll, forecasting and management reporting support so the application is backed by clear numbers and practical operating controls.
