We Ensure That ALL The Rules Are Followed


FINRA Rule 1220 mandates that every member firm appoint a qualified individual to serve as the Financial and Operations Principal (FINOP). This individual must hold either the "Series 27: Financial and Operations Principal" or the "Series 28: Introducing Broker-Dealer Financial and Operations Principal " license, depending on the member's operations and net capital requirements. Furthermore, firms are required to have a FINOP who is designated as both the Principal Financial Officer and the Principal Operations Officer.


Cartana employs multiple consultants who hold either or both the Series 27 and Series 28 licenses, along with other relevant licenses and certifications. This position can be outsourced to an industry professional with the necessary credentials, resulting in significant cost savings compared to hiring a full-time, in-house principal. The FINOP is fully accountable for all regulatory responsibilities associated with the role, regardless of whether they are employed directly by the firm or engaged on an outsourced basis.


As Your Outsourced FINOP, Our Duties Are:

  • Final approval and responsibility for the accuracy of financial reports submitted to any duly established industry regulatory body
  • Final preparation of such reports
  • Supervision of individuals who assist in the preparation of such reports
  • Supervision of and responsibility for individuals who are involved in the actual maintenance of the member’s books and records from which such reports are derived
  • Supervision and/or performance of the member’s responsibilities under all financial responsibility rules promulgated pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)
  • Overall supervision of and responsibility for the individuals who are involved in the administration and maintenance of the member’s back office operation
  • Any other matter involving the financial and operational management of the member
