Serving Bristol

FCA Compliance Consultants in Bristol

Bristol's regulated firms range from some of the largest investment platforms and asset managers outside London to small, owner-run advisory practices serving the wider South West. We work across that full range, scaling our support from full outsourced compliance functions to focused project work depending on what a firm actually needs.

Supporting regulated firms in the South West of England

Investment management and platform businesses have deep roots in Bristol, sitting alongside a long-established community of independent financial advisers and small brokers serving the wider West of England. We support investment firms and platforms with COBS, prudential and governance obligations, IFAs and wealth managers with Consumer Duty and suitability, and smaller regional brokers with proportionate outsourced compliance. The city's broader aerospace and advanced engineering economy also supports a smaller cluster of corporate and trade finance advisers, who bring their own authorisation and financial crime questions. Working with firms of such different sizes and specialisms means no two engagements in Bristol look quite the same.

FCA compliance in Bristol: common questions

Do you have an office in Bristol?
MEMA is based in London at 60 Tottenham Court Road and serves Bristol and the wider South West remotely, with on-site visits arranged for authorisation kick-offs, board meetings or file reviews where useful. Ongoing compliance monitoring, policy work and advisory support are delivered securely by video and document sharing between visits.
Do you support investment platforms and asset managers in Bristol?
Yes. We advise investment firms and platform businesses in Bristol on FCA permissions, COBS and prudential requirements, SMCR governance and Consumer Duty, drawing on direct experience of how larger, more complex firms are supervised. We also work with the smaller wealth managers and IFAs that often sit alongside them in the same client relationships.
