Peace in Mind
When we spoke to over a hundred CFOs and General Counsels across industries from technology to manufacturing to consumer brands one sentiment surfaced more than any other:
“I just want peace of mind when it comes to compliance.”
Not dashboards. Not AI hype. Not another portal.
Peace of mind meant something much simpler: trust.
Trust that every filing is accurate. Trust that it happens on time.
When stripped down to fundamentals, peace in mind always came down to two measurable outcomes:
Accuracy. On time.
That’s it. Everything else is noise.
The Domestic Side: Accuracy Is Table Stakes, Timeliness Is Not
In the U.S., regulatory frameworks are relatively stable and digital filings are mature. The issue isn’t what to file, it's whether it’s filed on time, every time.
Legacy providers still rely on ticketing systems and manual queues. Filings wait for human review, reminders are static, and calendars rarely sync across entities. The breakdowns are subtle but costly:
Missed state filings because outdated calendars weren’t updated.
Delayed franchise tax payments when entity statuses didn’t sync.
Annual reports filed with outdated data due to slow internal handoffs.
These aren’t knowledge failures, they're process failures.
Accuracy should be assumed. Timeliness should be automatic. Yet too often, neither is guaranteed.
The International Side: Complexity Without Accountability
Once compliance crosses borders, cracks widen into chasms.
Every country operates with its own registry systems, fiscal calendars, and signature laws, many still requiring in-person notarization or wet signatures.
Multinational teams repeatedly told us:
“Our local providers know their jurisdiction, but there’s no global accountability. We end up being the project manager.”
Incumbents respond by adding more coordinators, client success teams, and spreadsheets. The result? More visibility, but not more control. Deadlines drift across time zones. Filings are duplicated or missed.
Accuracy drops. Timeliness evaporates.
And with it, peace of mind.
Why Incumbents Keep Missing the Basics
The problem isn’t intelligence, it's architecture.
Traditional compliance providers scale by adding more people, not by automating accountability. Their systems are a patchwork of portals, trackers, and calendars. Every handoff introduces delay; every dependency is manually managed.
It’s why even the largest incumbents still struggle with the two simplest client expectations:
Be right.
Be on time.
Peace of Mind Trumps Price and No One Wants to Hear About AI
Surprisingly, when we asked over a hundred CFOs and General Counsels what truly makes them perk up about compliance, the top three weren’t what most would expect.
was consolidation and accuracy — or simply, trusted expertise.
was responsiveness.
was pricing.
Enterprise | |
#1 Trusted expertise | 67% |
#2 Responsiveness to Queries | 21% |
#3 Pricing | 12% |
Mid Market | |
#1 Trusted expertise | 58% |
#2 Responsiveness to Queries | 27% |
#3 Pricing | 15% |
Early Stage | |
#1 Trusted expertise | 51% |
#2 Responsiveness to Queries | 26% |
#3 Pricing | 23% |
Over and over, leaders told us that if they could get a partner with deep local knowledge who responds quickly and gets it right the first time, they’d gladly pay more on average, 31% higher than their current provider. That premium isn’t for software or service tiers. It’s the price of peace in mind.
The Path Forward
Peace of mind in compliance isn’t a slogan, it's a measurable design goal.
When accuracy is built into the data model so the right information is always surfaced at the right time and timeliness is driven by automated workflows, compliance becomes predictable.
That’s when CFOs stop worrying about fines.
That’s when General Counsels stop chasing certificates.
That’s when an organization finally shifts from reactive compliance to proactive control.

Our approach combines deep local expertise with guaranteed responsiveness and precision. Bring us your current compliance contract, and we’ll price match at 10% less while ensuring same-day turnaround and direct access to local experts, the very things CFOs and General Counsels value most.
