Who we are
Lumos is a boutique consultancy specialising in financial crime risk, sanctions compliance, and regulatory advisory. We work with SMEs, fintechs, financial institutions, crypto firms, and international businesses to help them navigate an increasingly complex and high-stakes compliance environment.
Our founder brings over 12 years of hands-on experience in global financial crime compliance, including senior roles in the UK and international markets. From advising regulated entities on AML and sanctions controls and risk frameworks, to supporting firms through compliance challenges, Lumos has built a reputation for delivering pragmatic, business-aligned compliance solutions.
We understand the balance between commercial growth and regulatory expectation and we help clients maintain that balance with confidence.
Why Lumos
Deep Expertise. With a focus on sanctions, AML, and cross-border compliance, we bring specialist knowledge that’s critical for firms operating in high-risk sectors or jurisdictions.
Practical, Actionable Advice. We don’t just point out problems, we provide tailored, realistic solutions that work for your operating model, risk appetite, and regulatory obligations.
Global Perspective. Our experience spans major financial centres, including the UK, EU, US, and emerging markets. We understand the international standards and local nuances that shape effective financial crime compliance.
Independent & Trusted. As an independent advisory partner, we bring objectivity, discretion, and a commitment to integrity in every engagement. Whether it’s a risk assessment, audit, regulatory review, controls implementation or product launch.
Partner-Led. You’ll work directly with experienced professionals, not be passed on to junior staff or generic frameworks.
