Hire the Best Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Analysts
in the United States

Snr. AML & Financial Risk Operations Consultant | CAMS | Broker-Dealer & Fintech Expert. I am a senior-level AML & Financial Risk Operations professional with hands-on experience operating within regulated financial services environments, supporting financial institutions, FinTechs, and high-risk businesses under U.S. regulatory scrutiny. I currently lead AML operational workflows at a U.S. broker-dealer / fintech platform, where I oversee transaction monitoring across multiple funding channels, design risk-scoring logic, and partner directly with Compliance, Payments, and Technology teams to ensure AML is embedded into operations; not treated as an afterthought. I don’t just “review alerts.” I build AML systems that regulators respect and businesses can actually operate. What You Can Expect When We Work Together ✔ Regulatory-Sound AML Controls ✔ Clear, Defensible Risk Decisions ✔ Operational Efficiency Without Cutting Corners ✔ Audit-Ready Documentation & Escalations My work is grounded in real operational risk, not theory; the same level of scrutiny your program will face during audits, partner reviews, or regulator exams. The Outcomes I Help Clients Achieve ☑ Strengthen AML & Financial Crime frameworks ☑ Pass KYC/KYB and payment processor reviews ☑ Reduce false positives while catching real risk ☑ Improve SAR quality and investigative consistency ☑ Align fintech growth with regulatory expectations ☑ Build scalable, regulator-defensible AML workflows My “Unfair Advantage” Working directly inside live AML operations has taught me that compliance failures rarely come from ignorance of the rules. They come from execution gaps - unclear escalation logic, inconsistent risk decisions, and controls that don’t translate into day-to-day workflows. I specialize in closing those gaps. What Sets My Work Apart 1️⃣ Real-World AML Operations Leadership I lead the design and calibration of AML controls across customer onboarding and payment flows, including risk-based deposit holds, DNDBW decisioning, and escalation frameworks. My focus is on aligning control thresholds, investigative standards, and operational capacity so risk decisions are consistent, defensible, and scalable. 2️⃣ Risk-Based Thinking (Not Checkbox Compliance) I apply risk scoring, typology-driven analysis, and behavioral pattern recognition — not one-size-fits-all rules that collapse under scrutiny. 3️⃣ Willingness to Push Back (When It Matters) I am not afraid to challenge weak assumptions, poorly designed controls, or “this is how we’ve always done it” thinking, because regulators won’t accept it either. My goal is not to please; it’s to protect your business. What Clients Commonly Hire Me For ✔ AML Program Reviews & Gap Assessments ✔ Transaction Monitoring Design & Optimization ✔ KYC / KYB Package Reviews (High-Risk Friendly) ✔ SAR Drafting, Review & Escalation Frameworks ✔ Risk Scoring Models & Red-Flag Logic ✔ ACH & Payment Channel Risk Controls ✔ AML Policy & Procedure Enhancements ✔ Fintech, Broker-Dealer & MSB Advisory Support ✔ AI-Enabled Financial Crime Risk Analysis Credibility That Matters ✔CAMS-Certified AML Professional ✔FINRA Series 7 & 63 Licensed ✔Senior AML Operations Analyst at a U.S. broker-dealer ✔Experience collaborating with Compliance, Legal, Payments & Engineering ✔Contributor to AI-enabled money laundering risk research (UK AI Security Institute collaboration) If you want clear judgment, strong controls, and an AML partner who understands both regulators and business realities, we’ll work extremely well together. Let’s build something defensible. 📞 Invite me to your project and I’ll reach out to find out if you would be a good fit to have a complimentary consultation call with me. 📞 Thank you for taking some time to learn about me.
