Compliance and Governance Consulting: About Helen Quinn

I’m Helen Quinn, founder of Quinn Oath Advisory Limited and a senior compliance and governance professional with extensive experience across regulated financial services. 


I have worked across a wide range of consumer credit and regulated financial services environments, and I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Governance, Risk and Compliance as well as the ICA Head of Compliance qualification. 


I provide compliance support to firms with regulatory frameworks, governance, conduct risk, Consumer Duty, complaints oversight, operational resilience, and business change. 


My background includes senior leadership roles within regulated firms and advisory environments, giving me a practical understanding of regulatory expectations and the real-world pressures businesses face. 


I founded Quinn Oath Advisory to deliver clear, commercially aware governance consulting and senior-level compliance and governance advisory support to firms that require experienced guidance without unnecessary complexity. My approach is calm, direct, and practical, focused on helping businesses understand what needs to be reviewed, evidence what matters, and build governance that stands up to scrutiny.

The work I have led

 

Helen’s experience includes:

  • leading compliance functions and supporting compliance teams;
  • developing compliance monitoring and oversight frameworks;
  • strengthening Consumer Duty governance and evidence;
  • producing board and committee reporting;
  • developing compliance MI and risk indicators;
  • leading regulatory and business-change projects;
  • completing compliance reviews and audits;
  • improving complaints oversight and root-cause analysis;
  • reviewing financial promotions and customer communications;
  • supporting vulnerability and customer outcome arrangements;
  • developing policies, procedures, guidance and training;
  • translating regulatory expectations into practical business actions.

 Helen is comfortable working with boards, senior managers, compliance teams, operational teams and commercial stakeholders. 

 She understands that good compliance needs to protect customers and the business while still recognising the realities of limited time, competing priorities and commercial pressure. 

How I work

 

Clear

I explain what matters, why it matters and what needs to happen next.


Practical

Recommendations should be usable within the business, rather than creating additional processes that serve no real purpose.


Direct

I provide constructive challenge where arrangements do not appear effective or defensible.


Collaborative

I work with the people responsible for delivering the outcome, rather than treating compliance as something separate from the wider business.


Accountable

Scopes, actions, responsibilities and deliverables are clearly defined.

A little more about me

 

I am based in York and founded Quinn Oath Advisory around values that matter to me personally: integrity, clarity, loyalty and following through on what has been agreed.

Outside work, life is shared with my family, two Labradors and the occasional reminder that even the best-laid plans sometimes require a complete rethink.

I bring that real-world perspective into my work. Compliance does not operate in perfect conditions, and businesses often need support most when time, capacity and clarity are in shortest supply.

Work directly with me

 

Quinn Oath Advisory is director-led. Clients work directly with me throughout the engagement rather than being passed between different consultants.

Whether you need a focused review, support with a particular project or temporary senior leadership, the first step is an informal conversation about what is happening and what outcome you need.
