It has been a great pleasure to work with a host of amazing people across the spectrum of banking and financial services. I continue to learn from some extraordinary people and gain new insights into leadership and execution. My respect is immense and my fortune great. I look forward to this list of testimonials growing longer and my own education developing more fully as I meet and work with diverse backgrounds, approaches and thoughts across a spectrum of firms and operational areas.
If you are not already familiar with me, my work product, philosophy and work ethic, these should give you some insight. I hope they are helpful.

Deborah Arndell from ARMOR Advisory Services has been instrumental in bringing our Compliance Management System to the next level of strength. Her previous experience, along with her knowledge have been invaluable. Her approach is to make you think as she is guiding you, which ensures you are learning during the process. I would highly recommend A.R.M.O.R to assist in any regulatory compliance need you may have.

Credit Unions are navigating unprecedented changes in the delivery and distribution of products and services to our members and communities, which creates additional regulatory and compliance challenges to be successful. Deborah Arndell solves those challenges with deep knowledge and insight into managing a top notch BSA program, which has become more and more of a critical focus for examiners.
Her background in operations of large scale financial institutions, and ability to quickly streamline process, was essential to our fast growing credit union. We would have been unable to launch some of the programs that we now have in place without her dedication and leadership. If you are focused on risk management, there is no bigger risk than NOT having her on your team working side by side with staff.
