Michael Kronket

Scottsdale

"I'm passionate about helping advisory firms grow and achieve their goals in a way that balances risk with the needs of the business. What I enjoy most about compliance is how it intersects with everything a firm does, connecting investments, operations, and technology. The combination of complex problem solving, team collaboration, and impact is what keeps me passionate about this work every day."

Michael Kronket leads the day-to-day operations of the firm's compliance program, ensuring adherence to SEC rules and regulations across all areas of the business.
