Who Needs FINOP Services?

The role of a Financial and Operations Principal (FINOP) is often associated with broker-dealers due to specific mandatory regulatory requirements by FINRA.

However, the expertise of these professionals is also applicable to any fintech company that deals with financial transactions as Outsourced CFO Services (scope similar to FINOP). FINOP is consistently present in fintech industries such as payment processors and gateways, peer-to-peer lending platforms, cryptocurrency exchanges, robo-advisors, and insurtech.


Should You Outsource Your FINOP Position?

Yes. Outsourced FINOPs offer valuable expertise and experience gained from diverse fintechs at a fraction of the cost of in-house experts. Such outsourced professionals are equipped with their firm’s collective knowledge and resources. By outsourcing FINOP services, fintechs can focus on their core business while their financial operations are managed efficiently and comply with all regulations.
