Novatus Global is a Series B scale-up RegTech SaaS provider and boutique advisory firm, helping financial institutions manage their most complex regulatory requirements. We combine deep consulting expertise with cutting-edge SaaS solutions, enabling clients to strengthen compliance, enhance resilience, and drive sustainable growth.

Our flagship SaaS platform, En:ACT (short for Enable Accurate Compliance in Transaction reporting), is a market-leading solution for regulatory transaction reporting and reconciliation across global regimes.

En:ACT automates reporting, reconciles data across systems, and maps errors directly to regulatory rules, helping firms remediate quickly, reduce risk, and meet regulatory obligations with confidence. Already trusted by more than 30 firms worldwide, the platform is scalable, proven, and designed for both business and technical users.

Alongside our SaaS offering, our unique model delivers consulting services across Risk & Compliance (including Transaction Reporting and Operational Resilience), ESG, Strategy, Data, and Operations. Unlike larger consultancies, we embed ourselves within client teams to deliver both insight and execution, taking ownership of outcomes and driving measurable impact.

Since our launch in 2019, we have scaled rapidly, creating space for our people to grow with the business. Backed by North American private equity investment, and partnerships with the London Stock Exchange Group and Snowflake’s global data platform, we are shaping the future of regulatory compliance through innovation in both advisory and technology. Our growth plans do not stop here; we are on the lookout for top-tier talent to join us on our journey and enable our next phase of success.
