CCO On Call: Institutional Compliance Access. Attorney Backed. Built for Complex Firms.

CCO On Call gives your firm direct access to experienced compliance professionals and securities attorneys — 15 billable hours per month at locked rates, used on your terms.

15 Billable Hours/Month at Locked Rates

Securities Attorneys + Compliance Professionals

No Long-Term Contracts Required

Built for RIAs with $100M–$500M AUM

How It Works

15 Hours. Locked Rates. Use Them When You Need Them.

CCO On Call is a monthly retainer — not a project engagement, not an hourly consulting arrangement. Each month, your firm receives 15 billable hours of compliance support from securities attorneys and experienced compliance professionals, billed at a rate locked in at the time you enroll.

There are no minimum tasks required, no scope restrictions, and no per-question charges. Use your hours for consultations, document reviews, policy updates, exam preparation, marketing review, or strategic guidance — in whatever combination fits your firm’s needs that month.

CCO On Call is the right structure for firms that need reliable, professional compliance access — not a full outsourced team.

15 hours per month handles most ongoing compliance tasks for firms in the $100M–$500M range. And as your needs grow, the path to OCD or OCCO is seamless.

If this sounds like your situation, CCO On Call is the perfect fit.

Predictable. Transparent. Flexible.

Hours are tracked and reported monthly so you always know exactly how your time was used. Unused hours roll over (up to 5 hours per month). If your firm needs additional hours beyond 15 in a given month, they’re available at your locked rate.

CCO On Call operates on a monthly subscription with standard notice for cancellation. No multi-year contracts. Most clients begin with CCO On Call and upgrade to OCD or OCCO as their firm scales — with the same team, no transition friction.
