Getting it Right the First Time.

When so much is at stake, hiring the right professional is everything. You want it done right.  Hire an expert who knows regulations and the expectations of regulators. Quality work means getting it done right and getting it done quickly. FirstMark Regulatory Solutions was founded by Mitch Atkins who has over 20 years of experience as a regulator at FINRA.  His expertise is FINRA.

Only Experts.

Sometimes it can seem like broker-dealer consultants are a “dime a dozen.” Who wants to pay premium prices only to have an inexperienced, junior consultant assigned? And it gets worse when that consultant uses a cookie-cutter template to produce exactly the same result for you as for other clients. We wouldn’t want it. We don’t do it. Your project is important. Your needs are unique.
