"Jo has been diligent, consistent and very much 'on our side' - helping us to maintain our compliance while doing our job, rather than putting up barriers to overcome. I highly recommend Jo's services to any colleagues in the same position."

"I have found Jo to have a logical approach to compliance, she helps to overcome what can sometimes seem a confusing landscape but always in the clients and our best interest."

Ivan Cullum
IAC Financial Planning

"We have for a few years been using Jo Connolly at The Compliance Partnership Limited for remote file checking.

She offers a very quick and efficient response on a 'pay as you go' basis submitting as many files as we need to, comprehensively checking all of our documentation and although we think that we have a very good process she is always able to offer very valid suggestions and recommendations on improvements we could make.

In addition she provides regular e-mails on areas of interest, technical guides and FCA updates and together with the above provides us with much more confidence and support of our compliance process.

We have found her to be an invaluable addition to our business and I would recommend her to anyone wishing to utilise an extra resource, knowledge and skill set to their practice."
