"Practical Professionalism" is our catchphrase when it comes to compliance. You’ll know that if you’ve ever tuned in to a Tony Vidler presentation on advice processes. It is always about finding ways that will work best in the real world.
We hold a central belief that building professional processes and systems does not have to be done by dismantling successful sales or service systems. The Strictly Business approach to compliance is to figure out how to develop your way of doing things into a compliant process, rather than try and impose an abstract idea of what "best practice" might be into your business and you having to re-design everything you do.
We don’t want to break what works; we want to build on it.

Not sure if you are good to go and apply for your full licence? Or worse, you know you are not ready? With this service we run a check on everything you need to have to be ready to apply for full licencing, and if you don’t have it we will help you put in place what it is that you need. And we do that at a fixed price too…so the meter is not continually running, no matter how long the process takes the price is firm. Call us to find out more.
As a licenced FAP you need to have a process that gives the regulator some assurance that your practice is doing what it said it would do when it was given a licence. It’s pretty hard to get away with “I checked on myself and decided that I was doing a great job of managing myself…”. You need a bit more than that. We will put together a regular compliance support program that checks and tests that there is no gap between how you actually operate and what you said your standards are, and will also keep you up to speed with everything you need to know to stay compliant, and make sure all those irksome registrations and filings and reporting requirements are done on time.

When it comes to giving compliance advice you want to make sure you know that what you're doing ticks everyone’s boxes. We guide you and provide you with the information you need to stick to your successful advisory process, but fill in any gaps to bring it up to “best practice” level if needed.
Strictly Business provides the My Compliance service. We are a boutique operation working entirely with independently owned financial advice businesses in NZ and we deliver highly personalised service to each client, because each advisory client is differentiating and creating IP for themselves and one of the areas where they can do that is in their compliant processes. We see it as an area where personalisation creates great value for a firm. Our team of 3 very experienced financial services folk is led by Tony Vidler, who is well known throughout the industry as a thought leader and champion of best practice standards that create value for advisers and consumers alike.
