“My firm was interested in additional compliance service and were introduced to Ann Zemann from Stile Compliance Services.  While we interviewed several firms, Stile offered us exactly what we were looking for.  Ann initially served in our compliance department as our Deputy Compliance Officer, before being promoted to the role of Chief Compliance Officer a year later.  We consider Ann and Stile to be a key component of our team and not simply a vendor that we work with.  If you’re looking for added help on the compliance side, you cannot go wrong with the expertise and leadership from Stile Compliance Services.”

“We are a small RIA and every program we tried to use previously to support our compliance efforts left us feeling like a round peg in a square hole. Working with Ann has provided us with the kind of personalized support that we need and an ally who truly understands our business.”

“Our investment advisory firm has worked very closely with Ann Zemann at Stile Compliance for nearly 20 years. Ann has been a huge blessing to our firm all these years and has effectively helped us navigate a complex and constantly changing compliance environment. She truly understands our firm, our people, and cares about our success. Ann is highly educated, knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and up to date with her compliance counsel, and customizes it to our firm. Ann has been both vital and instrumental in helping our firm maintain very high compliance standards on an on-going basis. She has helped us through a handful of regulatory audits over the years, not only by being there to hold our hands through the actual audits, but also by proactively helping us be prepared for an audit at any time. She performs recurring “mock audits” on our firm, to help keep us current and prepared. Ann is great about providing us with proactive compliance industry updates and makes effective and customized suggestions on how we can improve as a firm. She is easily accessible whenever we have questions. We could not be any more pleased with, and grateful for Ann at Stile Compliance, for being such an integral and effective partner with our investment advisory firm, and we wholeheartedly recommend Stile Compliance to any investment advisory firm where compliance is a priority.”  

“I have worked with Ann for close to twenty years. Though our investment advisory business is relatively small compared to our broker/dealer business, we rely on Ann for consultation on IA issues and how they integrate with our much larger B/D business. When today, to be successful in this business, one needs to offer different solutions to different segments of the financial services market, keeping up with all the rule changes and regulatory interpretations is daunting. And even with fully staffed departments of Legal, Compliance and Internal Control (in our case, over a dozen professionals), it is important to have access to outside expert thinking for direction and guidance, or sometimes, just for a sanity check. We involve Ann at the earliest point in exploration of any new businesses initiative; I wouldn’t feel comfortable being in some of these businesses without the opportunity to take her temperature on the inevitable questions and issues that develop just being in this business. Ann provides a service that is a great complement to the efforts of our in-house legal and compliance professionals. She is always available, her advice is insightful, and we have come to rely on her greatly.”
