MacIntosh James and Partners
From supporting cast to starring role: Our hands-on approach to compliance support saved the day for wealth managers, MacIntosh James.
The value of teamwork
As MacIntosh Jamesā lead contact, our director, Vicky Pearce, has significantly increased her involvement in the firmās day-to-day activities.
She looked at where the firm can improve and has implemented the necessary changes. An enhanced compliance monitoring plan is now in place, which is reviewed monthly. Actions are then approved with Mr James and we complete the work.
We visit MacIntosh Jamesā Leeds office at least quarterly ā more frequently if required ā and spend approximately two days a month working with its team remotely. Plus, we are always available to answer questions that arise and provide practical guidance.
In the spirit of ānot marking your own homeworkā Vicky delegates most tasks to our consultants, so she can review the work and retain overall control of the contract. This means there are a number of us who are familiar with the firm, so there is no downtime due to holidays or absence and none of the financial burdens associated with employing another member of staff.
Simon James said: āB-Compliantās grown-up attitude to consultancy transformed what could have been a very difficult period for us. The arrangement works because Vicky and her team are highly qualified and extremely good at tailoring what they do to your business. We never wanted the one-size-fits-all approach offered by industry leaders and in B-Compliant we have found advisers we can trust to look after our best interests.ā
