Example engagements

What working with Ultrania looks like.

These examples show how we typically structure engagements across our disciplines. They are composites based on common client situations, not individual client stories, and client names are never shared.

Example engagement · 01

Launching an EU investment firm

Compliance & Licensing Risk & Reporting FinTech Systems Cybersecurity & Digital

Client profile: New brokerage with an experienced trading team
The challenge: The team knew trading but not authorisation. They needed a licence, a trading set-up regulators would accept and reporting in place from day one.
What we did: Compared three jurisdictions and recommended one based on target markets and capital
Prepared the full application pack, policies and governance
Integrated MT5 with back office, risk and MiFIR reporting
Built the website and client onboarding journey
The result: One plan covering licence, platform and reporting, so the go-live date depended on the regulator and nothing else.

Example engagement · 02

Entering a new regulated iGaming market

Compliance & Licensing FinTech Systems Risk & Reporting Cybersecurity & Digital

Client profile: Established online operator
The challenge: Expanding into a new market meant a new licence, local payment methods, stricter KYC and higher scrutiny of security.
What we did: Mapped licensing and compliance requirements for the new market
Added local payment methods and automated PSP reconciliation
Upgraded KYC and fraud controls in the onboarding flow
Ran a security assessment and incident response exercise
The result: A market-entry roadmap with compliance, payments and security moving in step instead of in sequence.

Example engagement · 03

Ending month-end reconciliation pain

Risk & Reporting FinTech Systems

Built automated daily matching with exception queues
Re-tuned AML monitoring scenarios to current volumes
Delivered dashboards for finance and compliance
The result: Daily reconciliation with clear exceptions, and a control story the team can explain to auditors and partners.

Example engagement · 04

From fund launch to investor portal

Compliance & Licensing Wealth Technology

Client profile: Asset manager launching its first fund
The challenge: The manager needed the right fund structure and service providers, plus reporting that would impress investors from the first quarter.
What we did: Advised on structure and service-provider selection
Prepared fund documentation with legal counsel
Connected administrator and custodian data
Launched a branded investor portal with automated reports
The result: A fund launched with investor reporting ready on day one, in the manager’s own brand.

Example engagement · 05

Modernising onboarding for an EMI

FinTech Systems Cybersecurity & Digital Risk & Reporting

Introduced fraud rules and device intelligence
Mapped ICT risk management and incident reporting against DORA
Set up monitoring and an incident response plan
The result: Faster, safer onboarding and a clear DORA roadmap owned by the business.

Example engagement · 06

Giving advisers their time back

Wealth Technology Cybersecurity & Digital

Client profile: Wealth manager with a growing client base
The challenge: Advisers spent days each quarter assembling client reports by hand from several systems.
What we did: Unified portfolio data from custodians into one model
Automated quarterly client reports in the firm’s brand
Built an adviser workspace with tasks and documents
Hardened access and monitoring for the new platform
The result: Reports that produce themselves and advisers who spend their time with clients.
