The Consultants Compliance Edge.

Relationship is everything.

Dave Griffiths founded The Consultants in 2012. Upon the sale of one of his many business ventures, and being entrepreneurial at heart, he realized there was a market for the experience he had developed over the last 32 years in business.

Preferring to show up in person and build relationships, The Consultants strives to earn business the old-fashioned way. Low hourly rates and annual contracts that encourage unlimited phone calls and e-mails are just two of the reasons to use the services The Consultants provides.

Since most precious metals dealers are unaware of the federal guidelines they must follow, it is our job to educate them and get them in compliance before the IRS comes knocking. With 300+ clients spread across 40+ states, we are able to help navigate through the local, state and federal regulations many find burdensome and confusing.

Compliance Program

With rare exception now, pawnbrokers are required to have, and maintain, an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) program. Banks are requiring them, while the IRS is actively auditing pawnshops and MSB’s to verify compliance. Let a certified AML professional take the pain out of developing and implementing a custom program that will pass muster.

Compliance Training

To be in compliance, you must provide proof of regular training of your staff with regards to your policies and procedures related to your AML program. Employees must be trained within 30 days of hire and at least annually thereafter as a refresher. We take the pain out of this process by providing an affordable online option for training that is quick and easy!

Compliance Audit

An Independent Review of your AML program is required on an annual basis to keep you in compliance. This review can’t be done by your compliance officer or anyone in the company who is involved in the day to day operations of the business. We are extremely affordable and handle reviews for hundreds of companies across the country!
