Meet the Founder & CEO
Joshua Preston brings deep expertise across banking, payments, lending, and wealth management. His career spans leadership roles at Gannett Trust Company, Unchained, and Block (formerly Square). Prior to fintech, he spent ten years as a regulator at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve System.
This unique combination of regulatory and industry experience enables Joshua to help clients build programs that satisfy examiners while remaining practical to operate and supportive of business growth.
Our Approach
- Regulatory perspective: We know what examiners look for because we've been on that side of the table.
- Practical solutions: We build programs that work in practice, not just on paper.
- Business alignment: We balance compliance requirements with your strategic objectives.
- Hands-on partnership: We work alongside your team, not just deliver reports.
