Senior compliance leadership for your organization — without the $250K+ full-time salary. Ideal for crypto startups preparing for licensing, exchanges scaling compliance, and fintechs between hires.
A fractional Chief Compliance Officer provides the strategic compliance leadership your organization needs on a part-time basis. You get an experienced compliance executive who understands crypto-specific regulatory requirements, manages your compliance program, and serves as the designated compliance contact with regulators — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
This model is increasingly common in fintech and crypto, where regulatory expertise is essential but many companies aren't at the scale where a full-time CCO makes financial sense.
You're building your product and preparing for MSB registration or licensing. You need compliance expertise to design the program right from the start, but you're not ready for a $250K+ full-time hire.
You've outgrown your initial compliance setup. Transaction volumes and regulatory scrutiny are increasing. You need someone senior to oversee the program while you build out a permanent team.
Your CCO left and you need interim coverage immediately. Regulators don't accept a gap in compliance leadership. A fractional CCO provides continuity while you recruit.
Your traditional financial services firm is adding digital asset capabilities. You need someone who understands both worlds to guide the compliance expansion.
Fractional CCO engagements are structured as monthly retainers with a defined time commitment. Typical arrangements:
For early-stage companies building initial compliance foundations. Program design, policy drafting, registration support.
For operating companies with active compliance needs. Ongoing oversight, SAR review, regulatory liaison, team management.
Near full-time interim coverage during CCO transitions, regulatory actions, or critical buildout periods.
