We started MNA because banks deserved better
Better advisors. Better attention. Better outcomes. That's the firm Moses Nam set out to build — and the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.
Big firm expertise.
Boutique attention.
MNA was founded in 2023 on a simple observation: global banks — especially foreign banking organizations — deserve advisory partners who understand their world, not generalists learning on the job.
Our founder spent over two decades inside PwC, Deloitte, and BNY Mellon. He saw what worked, what didn't, and where clients were consistently underserved. MNA was built to close that gap.
We work with a curated network of specialists across financial crime, governance, audit, and risk — assembling the right team for each engagement rather than staffing from a bench.
FBO Specialization
Asian banks operating in the U.S. face a unique intersection of home-country governance and American regulatory expectations. We've spent decades navigating both sides — from BSA/AML and OFAC to cross-border supervision and exam readiness.
How We're Different
You won't get a rotating cast of junior staff. The people who scope your engagement are the same people who execute it — and they answer directly to you.
Moses Nam
With over 25 years of experience in regulatory compliance, BSA/AML, internal audit, and risk management, Moses Nam is a licensed CPA and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) who brings unparalleled depth to every engagement.

Moses has personally served over 50 global banking and capital markets institutions, including banks from the United States, Canada, Europe, China, Korea, Japan, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Taiwan.

What sets us apart
We Know Your Regulators
OCC, Federal Reserve, NYDFS, FinCEN — we've sat across the table from all of them. Our recommendations are shaped by what examiners actually look for, not textbook theory.
FBO-Native Expertise
Most firms treat foreign banking organizations as an afterthought. We built our practice around them — understanding home-country frameworks, cross-border supervision, and the nuances U.S. regulators expect.
No Leverage Model
Large firms staff engagements with junior associates and bill for senior oversight. At MNA, the senior team does the work — you get experienced hands, not a learning curve.
Speed Without Shortcuts
Our AI-augmented workflows and lean team structure let us move faster than large firms without cutting corners on quality or documentation.
