Why Outsource Your CCO?
To mitigate risk and lower compliance allocations.
What We Do
At SEC³, we understand the financial pressures of running a small business while meeting the regulatory obligations of the SEC. As such, we offer the Outsourced CCO Partnership to those in need of an alternative solution to hiring a full-time, in-house CCO. When you outsource the CCO with SEC³, we will be responsible for managing the entirety of your firm’s compliance program and assuming the role of CCO.
“When you partner with a third party CCO, you need to know they are accountable and informed. We were highly selective through this process, and ultimately chose SEC³ because we felt secure their team would be proactive and ensure that we had a compliance program that would meet investor and regulator expectations. Not only have they done this, but our companies and staff, together, operate as a team.”
