The past few months have marked an exciting new chapter for ACI. As of last month, we’ve moved into our new office at 199 Water Street. At the same time, we’re proud to introduce our new brand and website. These milestones reflect more than just our growth as a firm – together, they form a powerful expression of who we are, how we work, the culture we’ve built and the value we deliver.
While we’re excited for what the future holds for our business, it’s also a natural time to reflect. Milestones like these are only possible because of the foundation we’ve laid over the past four decades.
For broker-dealers, strong financial controls and accurate reporting safeguard compliance and support growth. In today’s regulatory landscape, firms need more than a service provider – they need a partner who anticipates challenges and brings clarity.
For over 40 years, ACI has been that partner. Through our work with hundreds of broker-dealer clients ranging from startups to leading institutions, we’ve built a reputation for precision, responsiveness and quality service. With more than 20 licensed FinOps and CPAs, our team has the scale and expertise to stay ahead of shifting requirements, turning often-confusing regulatory requirements into practical guidance and lasting value.
Now, with our new office and branding, we’re presenting ourselves in a way that reflects how we operate: modern, client-focused and ready to help firms navigate the future. Throughout the website, you’ll get a look inside our new space – a window into how our people work, collaborate and succeed together.
More broadly, the rebrand signals how financial operations have evolved – and how ACI has evolved alongside them.
Over the decades, two of the qualities that have always set us apart are our partnership ethos and the talent of our people. Our FinOps serve as an extension of clients’ financial teams, providing proactive and specific guidance that keeps them informed and prepared. Ultimately, our many long-term client relationships and strong track record are the biggest testament to the strength of ACI as an organization.
While our look has evolved, our mission has not. We remain committed to protecting our clients and helping them scale with confidence. Our deep relationships with regulators, SROs, law firms and compliance experts keep us at the forefront of regulatory change – and allow us to make key introductions and bring that insight to our clients. The new website extends this commitment, serving as a dynamic hub of industry updates, FAQs and our perspectives on the industry landscape – all in a more visually appealing and more searchable way.
In these ways, the launch of our new brand marks a milestone, but it is not a departure. It’s the natural extension of four decades of leadership in financial operations, presented with the clarity, modernity and client-first focus that continue to define ACI today. As the industry evolves – with new technologies and new business models reshaping the landscape – we will be right there alongside our clients, offering steady financial stewardship and reliable guidance.
We invite you to stop by our new office, explore our new website, discover our refreshed resources and connect with our team. Most importantly, we look forward to continuing to do what we’ve always done: helping broker-dealers of every size meet their obligations, reduce their risk and focus on growth.
