You work hard to fundraise for your campaign.
Our compliance team will make sure you keep every penny you raise.
Our Compliance Team’s Track Record
Our performance is unequaled by any other FEC compliance firm, Republican or Democrat. In the 2012 campaign cycle our clients utilized our systems and staff to file reports for more than $2.02 billion from 12.5 million republican donations.
In the last political cycle alone, our full-service compliance team:
- Opened, scanned, deposited & data entered $647 million.
- Data entered 4.6 million transactions.
- Prepared and filed 2,481 FEC reports.
Our Philosophy
To be competitive, Republican campaigns should focus their limited resources on fundraising and gaining votes. But, risking compliance infractions can present expensive problems for campaigns or opportunities for your opponents. Failure to comply or the mere appearance of impropriety by Republicans risks unfavorable legal and political consequences, especially for high profile presidential candidates. Democrat FEC mistakes or worse are often overlooked by the press and the regulators. It has been proven, cycle after cycle that engaging compliance professionals to manage your campaign finance revenues and to ensure that your disclosure reports are filed accurately and on time are the most cost effective and optimal way to conduct a focused political campaign. Our professional compliance team will work to ensure 100% compliance, or else they wouldn’t be professionals. They will also train you in campaign treasury best-practices.
