FinTech Compliance Accelerator

If your best work is invisible and the result "nothing bad happened" is taken for granted, this program is FOR YOU!

You've been protecting the business from losses and regulatory actions they don't even know about. It's time to get paid accordingly.

🥁 Career accelerator for FinTech Compliance and Risk experts 🥁

You will learn how to translate invisible compliance work into measurable business value created by you, so you can confidently decide:

Should I ask for more money and how much should I ask for?
What arguments should I use?
Should I stay or move on?

170+ compliance professionals have been through earlier versions of this program. The examples are real. The results are real. That's how we know what works.

THIS IS FOR YOU

You may recognize yourself here if:

You flagged the risk six months before it became a crisis.
You cleaned up the mess left by a (sales) team that moved fast and didn't ask you first.
You kept the company out of losses and incidents nobody will ever know were coming.
You suspect you are underpaid, but you're not sure what to ask for or how to justify it
Promotions and better opportunities seem to happen to people who are not necessarily better than you

If you feel overworked, underpaid, and quietly frustrated that your expertise is underestimated, you're not imagining it.

This is not a skills problem. Here's what it actually is.

Most compliance professionals have spent years becoming deeply competent. What they were never taught is how to make that competence visible for the business leaders.

Specifically, three things are working against you right now:

You don't know how to translate your work into business language. "Ensured regulatory compliance" doesn't inspire anyone. Decision-makers (founders, CFOs, boards) think in terms of revenues, customers, partnerships secured. Until you can speak that language fluently, your contribution will continue to be underestimated.
You don't know which projects and experiences to prioritize to build your professional value. Not all compliance work is equal in the eyes of the market. Knowing which activities to take on, document, and highlight (and which to deprioritize) is the difference between a stagnant CV and a profile that attracts offers.
You don't have independent proof that makes your expertise credible for people who have not worked with you.

Once you fix these three things, everything changes.

You should register if:

You have at least 5 years of experience in compliance, risk, or the regulatory affairs.
You want to quantify what your professional contribution is actually worth and communicate it with confidence, not self-promotion.
You want your stakeholders to see the value you bring and actively seek your input on strategic decisions.
You may or may not be looking for a new role right now, but you want to be strategic about your next move.

Here’s how 90% of senior compliance roles actually get filled: someone mentions a name. That name comes from a conversation, a referral, a social connection. By the time a role is posted (if ever), the selection is already ongoing. Applications are a formality. This is why strong professionals apply, hear nothing, and assume they weren’t good enough. They were. They just weren’t connected.

You don’t need to become a conference seat-warmer. You don’t need to post every day on LinkedIn. All you need is access to the right conversations with a small number of the right people, and a clear way to articulate what makes you the best fit. That’s the entire system this training teaches.

AFTER THIS TRAINING YOU WILL KNOW:

Exactly what your expertise is worth
Which experiences increase your market value
How to explain your contribution using business language
How to decide whether to negotiate, stay, or move on
How to ask for more money with confidence and evidence
What your next career steps should be

You are not leaving with notes. You are leaving with assets you can immediately use:

Your expert positioning statement
At least one credibility asset (LinkedIn article, industry note or speech/presentation draft)
Outreach templates
AI tools for CVs, annual reviews, interviews and board conversations
Personalized action plan

OUR AGENDA:

DAY 1. QUANTIFY YOUR HIDDEN VALUE. PREPARE TO COMMAND A HIGHER SALARY by defining exactly what makes you worth more. Most compliance professionals cannot articulate in business terms what they actually create.You will define exactly what makes you worth more than your current rate and turn your broad experience into a sharp expert positioning statement, one sentence that makes recruiters and CEO say "we need this expert NOW, and they are totally worth the money". You will also know which projects and experiences will increase this value over time!
DAY 2. LET YOUR WORK SPEAK BEFORE YOU ENTER THE ROOM.
Build one short piece of content (an article, a LinkedIn post, an industry note) will demonstrate your expertise and do your credibility work for you. No large audience needed. Build the one asset that does your credibility work for you: when the right person has a problem you can solve, a single DM and a link to your article is all it takes to be taken seriously. Our specialized compliance AI assistant will ask you a few questions and will create this asset for you. Or as many as you want!
DAY 3. ACCESS ROLES THAT NEVER GET POSTED. Board seats, paid advisory roles, and senior positions are filled quietly, through introductions at the right moment. The most overlooked entry point? Teaching and speaking engagements: they put you in the room with decision-makers who are actively looking for trusted experts, not applicants. You'll leave with outreach templates for board conversations, advisory approaches, and speaking or teaching pitches, all written for the FinTech compliance niche.
DAY 4. KNOW YOUR NUMBER. ASK FOR IT. WIN THE OFFER. Most compliance professionals leave money on the table, not because they lack leverage, but because they don't know how to use it. You'll leave this session knowing exactly how to handle interviews, assess whether a company is worth your time, and negotiate your future salary with confidence. Plus: a word-for-word email template to ask for more money once the offer lands, without risking it.

BONUSES AND TOOLS INCLUDED

Every tool below was built specifically because our participants kept hitting the same wall. Each one removes a specific obstacle between you and your next salary increase or big new role.

AI Achievements Writer trained to describe and quantify compliance results. Most compliance professionals undersell themselves because it is hard to quantify "we followed the law" or "nothing bad happened". This tool translates your work into business-impact language instantly, in the exact vocabulary decision-makers respond to. Use it before an annual review, a raise conversation, a new job application, or any time you need to make your invisible work visible. Without it you walk into the most important conversations of your career underprepared.
AI Compliance Article Co-Writer. The fastest way to be trusted by people who haven't met you yet is to share something insightful in a place where they can see it. Imagine the conversation: "Have you worked with DORA? - Sure, I actually published an article 6 months ago on DORA implementation strategy". Most professionals skip this step because writing feels hard, slow, and uncertain. Without social proof it will be harder to demonstrate your expertise. This tool removes the blank page syndrome entirely, helping you produce one (or more) credible, well-structured article in your niche and your voice.
Presenting as a Strategic Advisor. Being right or precise is not enough, if your presentation misses a bigger picture. Without this skill, your recommendations get noted and deprioritized. This pre-recorded session teaches you to present trade-offs, risks, and alternatives using structured compliance frameworks that make your contribution look prepared, objective, and difficult to dismiss.

FAQ:

"Why €400?" Because I wanted to create a practical entry point for as many experts as possible who need immediate career clarity before deciding on larger investments.
My signature FinTech Compliance certification program costs €3,900, and for the professionals who are ready for it, it is worth every cent. But I heard you. Many of you told me price was the barrier. So I designed this standalone program to deliver real, immediate results at a fraction of the cost. And here’s the part that makes it a genuine no-brainer: if you join the next certification cohort afterward, your €400 investment counts toward it in full. You’re not spending €400. You’re starting a process, and applying your early results toward the next level. And if this helps you negotiate even a €10,000 raise (the conservative end of what I see in the industry), you’ve made your €400 back times over.
"I don't have time". How many hours total are we talking about? 4 sessions, 60 minutes each. That's afternoon you'd reschedule without a second thought if it meant a 30–40% salary increase. And here is hard truth: your professional network is one of the biggest predictors of your earning potential. Build it now, while you're not desperate. If you start when you need a job, you've already lost the timing advantage.
"I don't want to be a LinkedIn influencer. I just want a better job." What you're really saying is this: becoming visible means becoming someone you're not. That's not what this is. Influencers build audiences. You're building a shortlist of a few targeted relationships with people who hire for exactly your type of roles. The compliance professionals getting approached for senior FinTech roles aren't posting daily or chasing likes, they're known to the right 2-3 people at the right moment. That's the entire skill this program teaches. It has nothing to do with influence and everything to do with positioning. AI assistants will do the heavy-lifting.
"This feels like generic career advice. I've tried this before and it didn't work." What specifically didn't work? A CV rewrite? A LinkedIn profile update? Attending a conference and waiting to be noticed? Those aren't strategies, they're tasks. What you haven't tried is a system built specifically for the way senior compliance roles in FinTech actually get filled: through regulatory credibility, precise positioning, and a small number of warm targeted conversations. Generic career advice teaches you to compete on job boards. This teaches you to bypass them entirely.
"I'm worried about looking desperate or self-promotional." Your intention is to protect your professional reputation. I get it, it's exactly why this program was designed for compliance professionals specifically. Desperation looks like mass-applying on job boards and following up three times. What this program teaches looks like publishing one precise article that demonstrates your expertise, and sending a short, confident DM 6 months later to someone who already has a problem you can solve. One is chasing. The other is being found. The difference isn't just optics, it's the entire strategy.

What People Are Saying:

I have just completed the FinTech Compliance program led by Yana, leading to a FinTech Pro certification. I am extremely satisfied with the program in terms of course delivery, resources and organisation of the program. Yana's expertise in the field is evident, delivering engaging webinars and addressing all participant questions thoroughly, with an open door for follow-up queries. The course provides an array of practical templates that are incredibly useful for compliance tasks. It's an invaluable resource for anyone in the fintech startup compliance sector or compliance professionals in general. The program offered deep insights into the crucial role compliance professionals play and equipped me with the necessary tools and materials to excel in this field. Highly recommended!

Gaki Tshering

Yana is an outstanding Compliance and Regulatory Risk professional. I've learnt so much from her working with her in the executive team. Her risk-managed yet business friendly approach balances customer needs, technical requirements and regulatory obligations in a manner that turns compliance into a business advantage. Her knowledge of regulatory environments, licensing, risk and AML controls allowed our team to push products that nobody else could match while keeping bad actors and fraudulent transactions well below industry benchmarks. I highly recommend having her guidance and expertise on your team at any stage of your business.

Alvin Jiang

Yana is an outstanding and seasoned compliance & regulatory professional who has extensive experience and knowledge in crypto and fintech in general. She is one of the most valuable partner for our strategic advisory from compliance point of view. As her company name suggests, if you want your compliance team to be “competitive”, she is the best person to speak to.

Rikiya Masuda

It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Yana. I had the pleasure of working with her for nearly three years at Mara, BitPesa (now AZA) and Founders Bank collectively, we often collaborate closely on FinTech projects with heavy compliance requirements. I am always impressed by Yana's ability to bridge the gap between scalable technical solutions and solid compliance leadership and guidance—effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally. I always enjoy working with Yana, as a team member or a leader, Yana earns my highest recommendation.

Dearg O'Bartuin

I’ve got so much to share about Yana and her impact on my professional journey! I come from a legal background, and my mindset was all about being conservative, risk-averse, and disconnected from the business. But then Yana's podcast changed everything. I was shocked when I first heard that compliance should genuinely care about the business, understand marketing, care about conversions. It hit me like a lightning bolt - "Wait, aren't we the second line of defense, independent from the business and guarding company from the risk?" It took me a little time to realize that I had been wrong all along, even with my four CAMS certificates feeling useless and like a waste of money (despite some companies still requiring them!). Before long, I discovered Yana's concept of 'business-like and just in time compliance,' and it was like magic. Suddenly, compliance was being heard, invited to important meetings, and kept in the loop about product changes way ahead of time. We became trusted partners to the business, no longer just the department of 'NO.' It's crazy to think about how far we've come. From a company in its 'age of innocence,' with undocumented growth, to a compliance function that's now a 'leverage' for the company. We're securing crucial partnerships, opening bank accounts, obtaining licenses and authorizations, and acing audits. Yana's guidance has been invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend her products. They have been one of the absolute best investments in my professional career. Yana rocks!

Anastasiia Vasilyeva

If someone is on the fence about joining any of Yana's learning programs, I highly recommend her! Coming from an AML Operations background, with less exposure to broader regulatory compliance, this program gave me invaluable insights and the professional confidence to take on new tasks and challenges that previously felt out of reach. What makes Yana unique is her extremely practical and pro-business approach. A good professional investment for anyone looking to grow!
