About ARC Advisory Group
Compliance insight from the other side of the table.
We are former FINTRAC officers who spent decades enforcing the rules. Now we help Canadian businesses understand and meet them.
Our mission
ARC Advisory Group was founded on a straightforward premise: the most effective compliance guidance comes from people who have sat across the table from the businesses they now serve.
Between our two partners, we bring over 50 years of federal government experience — including combined decades at FINTRAC, where we supervised, examined, and assessed the compliance programs of reporting entities across Canada.
We understand what regulators look for, how examinations are conducted, and where compliance programs most often fall short. That perspective shapes everything we do.
What sets us apart
Regulatory experience, not just theory
Our partners held compliance and investigative roles at FINTRAC, the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canada Border Services Agency. We have applied the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act from the inside.
Practical, proportionate guidance
We tailor our advice to your business size, sector, and risk profile. Compliance programs should be effective and workable — not one-size-fits-all templates.
Candid, confidential discussion
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Every engagement is handled with discretion and professional integrity.
Extensive knowledge of Canadian AML
Our focus is exclusively on Canadian anti-money laundering and terrorist financing obligations. We stay current with FINTRAC guidance, legislative amendments, and regulatory trends.
About the name
ARC Advisory Group (AML Review & Compliance) reflects our commitment to bridging the gap between regulatory expectation and business reality — connecting compliance obligations to practical, achievable outcomes for Canadian reporting entities.
