Fractional CRO Advisory

CRO-level risk frameworks, regulatory alignment, & board-level oversight — proportionate to your institution's scale, without the fixed cost of a full-time appointment.

A Fractional CRO engagement is not conventional consulting.

It is embedded advisory leadership — structured access to an experienced Chief Risk Officer who operates as a working member of your leadership team, not a document-delivery service. Accountability is for governance outcomes, not just deliverables.

Amaranth Brose provides this service for banks, fintechs, investment firms, and ambitious companies at the point where governance complexity outpaces internal risk capacity — but a full-time CRO appointment is premature, disproportionate, or simply not yet warranted.

 WHO THIS IS FOR

This service is designed for:

• Mid-sized banks and regulated financial institutions managing regulatory pressure with a limited or stretched internal risk function

​

• Fintechs crossing supervisory thresholds where EBA or national competent authority expectations require a functioning risk governance structure

​

• Investment firms and payment institutions preparing for authorisation, SREP review, or thematic inspection

​

• Scaling SMEs and mid-market corporates approaching a governance, credit, or ESG inflection point

​

• Boards and risk committees requiring independent challenge and senior-level oversight without a permanent appointment
