Our expertise against financial crime

After over ten years in the banking and financial services industry, as well as management consulting, I decided to establish my own consulting company in 2022.

I want to share my extensive expertise in compliance and anti-money laundering from the past years with my clients and provide them with competent support. My desire to start my own company grew over time, to in a targeted manner use the skills I have learned as well as the diverse industry and project experience from a multitude of consulting mandates.

In May 2022, AFC Advisory GmbH was launched. To consistently meet the demands of my clients, I aim to build a small team of experts in compliance and anti-money laundering. With AFC Advisory, my colleagues, partners, and I can share our accumulated expertise and many years of professional experience in the prevention of financial crime with businesses, delivering genuine value. It is important to me and my professional passion to contribute to sustainable and effective efforts to combat financial crime.”
