About

Senior expertise.
Delivered directly.

Street Advisory Group was founded by Sylena Street — a financial crimes and sanctions compliance leader with over 20 years of experience at some of the world's most complex financial institutions.

Unlike large consulting firms where your project is handed to junior staff, Street Advisory Group delivers senior-level expertise directly to your team. Every engagement is led personally by Sylena — bringing the depth, judgment, and regulatory credibility your program demands.

From AML/BSA program builds to consent order remediation to AI automation strategy, Street Advisory Group provides the authoritative guidance that moves programs forward, satisfies regulators, and protects institutions.

Why Street Advisory

The difference
is experience.

01
Senior expertise, directly delivered
You work directly with Sylena Street — not a project coordinator or junior analyst. Every call, every deliverable, every recommendation comes from 20+ years of hands-on institutional experience.
02
Regulatory credibility that opens doors
Having led programs at Morgan Stanley, BNY Mellon, Wells Fargo, HSBC, and The Bancorp means your regulators recognize the pedigree — and your stakeholders trust the guidance.
03
Rare consent order experience
Having led the successful lifting of an FDIC BSA/AML consent order is one of the rarest credentials in compliance consulting. This experience fundamentally changes how you approach regulatory remediation.
04
AI-forward without losing regulatory rigor
Uniquely positioned at the intersection of AI adoption and regulatory compliance — championing automation tools while keeping your program audit-ready and regulator-friendly.

The institutions facing the most complex regulatory challenges deserve more than a junior team with a senior name on the door.

FAQ

Common
questions.

Everything you need to know about working with Street Advisory Group — whether you're a financial institution, a fintech, or a recruiter placing talent.

Do you work remotely or on-site?
+
Both. Street Advisory Group is available for fully remote engagements, hybrid arrangements, and on-site placements depending on your institution's needs. We serve clients nationwide from our base in Delaware.
Are you available for Corp-to-Corp engagements?
+
Yes. Street Advisory Group accepts engagements on a W-2, 1099, and Corp-to-Corp basis. We understand that many financial institutions and staffing firms prefer Corp-to-Corp structures for vendor management and compliance purposes.
What size institutions do you work with?
+
Street Advisory Group works with institutions of all sizes — from community banks building their first AML program to global financial institutions navigating complex consent orders. The common thread is a high-stakes regulatory environment that demands senior expertise.
How quickly can you start an engagement?
+
In most cases, Street Advisory Group can begin an engagement within one to two weeks of contract execution. For urgent regulatory matters, expedited start dates can often be accommodated. Reach out to discuss your timeline.
Is my inquiry confidential?
+
Absolutely. All inquiries and engagements are treated with strict confidentiality. We understand that many institutions are sensitive about disclosing regulatory challenges externally. Non-disclosure agreements are available and welcome at any stage.
Do you work through staffing and recruiting firms?
+
Yes. Street Advisory Group actively partners with staffing firms and executive recruiters placing senior financial crimes talent. We are available for 12-month contract placements and interim leadership roles. Recruiters are encouraged to submit roles directly through our contact form.
What makes Street Advisory Group different from a large consulting firm?
+
The most important difference is who actually does the work. At large consulting firms, senior partners sell the engagement and junior staff deliver it. At Street Advisory Group, Sylena Street leads every engagement personally — bringing 20+ years of hands-on institutional experience directly to your program, not through an intermediary.
