Practical Governance.
Resilient Operations.
Board Level Confidence.
Oakbridge Agility helps financial sector SMEs and start-ups strengthen governance, manage risk and build operational resilience to prepare for regulatory scrutiny with advice that works at board level.
What We Do
Four pillars of advisory expertise
Governance Advisory
Board structure, committee design, and governance frameworks built for regulated financial firms. We translate regulatory expectations into practical, proportionate arrangements that work at your scale, not just on paper.
Risk Management
Enterprise risk frameworks, risk appetite statements, and ICAAP/ILAAP support tailored to your firm's scale and complexity.
Operational Resilience
Important business services mapping, impact tolerances, and scenario testing aligned to FCA and PRA expectations.
Regulatory Readiness
Authorisation support, regulatory gap analysis, and preparation for supervisory visits and thematic reviews. We help you face the FCA and PRA with confidence, not anxiety.
“The advice that growing financial firms need without the Big Four price tag.”
Oakbridge Agility was founded to fill a gap: experienced, board-level advisory that is genuinely accessible to SMEs and start-ups. Our advisors have held senior roles at regulated firms and worked directly with the FCA and PRA so we understand what regulators actually expect, not just what the rulebook says.
Proportionate advice
We calibrate every recommendation to your firm's size, risk profile, and regulatory perimeter, avoiding a generic approach and ensuring recommendations are tailored to your specific needs.
Board-ready outputs
Our deliverables are designed to be presented directly to boards and audit committees, providing clarity, credibility and actionable insight.
Regulatory intelligence
We track FCA and PRA supervisory priorities in real time, so your governance keeps pace with evolving expectations.
Who We Work With
Trusted by growing financial firms
Regulated Start-ups
Fintech, payments, lending, regtech and wealth businesses navigating authorisation, early-stage compliance and the demands of a regulated operating model.
Financial & Professional Services SMEs
Established firms in financial and professional services facing increasing governance, control and regulatory expectations as they grow.
PE & VC Portfolio Companies
Private equity and venture capital backed businesses preparing for scale, fundraising, investor diligence or operational transformation.
Founder-Led Businesses
Businesses where the founder needs fractional COO, governance or risk leadership to build institutional-grade capability without a full-time hire.
Organisations Under Pressure
Firms responding to regulatory findings, internal control gaps, incidents or operational stress events that require experienced, independent support.
Whether facing an FCA supervisory visit, a material operational incident, a significant control failure or an urgent need to demonstrate remediation progress, we provide experienced, independent support to help firms respond effectively and rebuild confidence with regulators, boards and investors.
