Post-Merger/Acquisition Compliance Integration

Following a merger or acquisition, institutions face the complex challenge of integrating two compliance programs, right-sizing staffing, and establishing a unified risk and compliance framework. We assess both programs, identify gaps and redundancies, and deliver a prioritized integration roadmap — so leadership can make informed decisions about structure, people, and process from day one.

About CrestPoint

Why CrestPoint

I named CrestPoint after a moment of absolute clarity—and honestly, a moment of faith.

My husband is from Utah. Every time our plane flies over those mountains, I gasp. I'm from North Carolina, so I see mountains all the time. But those Utah peaks are different. They're massive, unapologetic, breathtaking. In those moments, I have no doubt that God is real. I needed that feeling embedded in my company's name and logo.

But there's more to it than that.

There's an old African adage that's resonated with me my entire life: lift as we climb. It's a reminder that success isn't just about reaching the top—it's about making sure others can get there too. The compass in my logo points north, sitting between two mountain peaks. It's a constant reminder to me that no matter how hard things get, I keep moving upward and onward. I keep climbing toward that crest.

And that's what CrestPoint is really about.

I left a corporate America because I wanted a different way to do the work I love. I have a family, and I realized I couldn't be the best version of myself doing my day job if I wasn't being the best version of myself doing my dream job - being a wife and mom to two perfect little girls. So I built CrestPoint around that non-negotiable: family first, always. That's not a side note. That's the foundation.

I also built it because I watched organizations get priced out of access to senior-level compliance expertise. They were told they needed massive consulting firms with massive retainers. But they didn't. They needed someone who understood the work, could move fast, and actually cared about their success—not just billable hours. So CrestPoint exists for the sub-$20B institutions that the big firms overlook: the community banks, credit unions, fintechs, insurance companies, mortgage firms and other non-banks doing real work in real communities.

You work directly with me. You get senior leadership. At CrestPoint you get someone who believes that lifting as we climb means your success is my success—and that your people matter just as much as your balance sheet.

If that resonates, let's talk. If it doesn't, that's okay too. We're probably not the right fit.
