AI-Native Compliance Infrastructure

A compliance team that has complete information, works around the clock, and knows what to do next.

Compliance that never sleeps.

Firethorn is a team of AI agents that builds and operates your compliance program — with complete information at all times, working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, that knows what needs to be done and takes the initiative to do it without being asked. Built for SEC-registered investment advisers.

Every compliance program runs on three things: information, testing, and action.

Most programs consume information intermittently, test it periodically, and act on it opportunistically. Firethorn consumes information as soon as it becomes accessible, digests, tests, and understands it in context instantaneously, and takes action on it immediately.

Complete Information

Nothing falls through the cracks.

Firethorn maintains a live, structured profile of your firm — every fund, every strategy, every filing obligation, every open item — and reads directly from your firm's own systems. It never forgets a deadline, never loses context between conversations, and never has to ask "remind me what we decided about this."

Working 24/7

Compliance doesn't wait for a scheduled window.

Quarterly transaction report reviews are done by the time you log in to the platform. Electronic communications are reviewed as they are sent and received — not in a quarterly or semi-annual review completed late the next quarter. Regulatory filings are drafted, prepared for sign-off, and filed, around the world. The work that used to wait for a scheduled window happens the moment it's capable of being completed.

Takes Initiative

It tells you before you have to ask.

Firethorn doesn't wait for a task to be assigned. It notices when a new position approaches a reporting threshold, when a regulatory change affects your program, when a deadline is two weeks out — and surfaces it, with the analysis already done, for your review and approval.

From a Form ADV to a complete compliance program — and then it keeps going.

Firethorn starts by learning everything there is to know about your firm and business completely, builds the program around your firm and its compliance needs, and then operates it — continuously, with the CCO reviewing and approving every step along the way.

Understand
Firethorn retrieves your firm's Form ADV directly from the SEC's IAPD database — strategy, AUM, fund structure, and operations — and builds a complete firm profile in seconds. A short conversation fills in anything the ADV doesn't capture.
Build
A complete compliance program is generated and tailored to your firm — policies and procedures, code of ethics, risk inventory, compliance calendar, regulatory reporting analysis, and more — ready for the CCO's review within minutes.
Operate
From there, Firethorn maintains the program continuously — monitoring regulatory developments, reviewing communications, tracking deadlines, and flagging what needs attention before it becomes a problem.
Approve
Every output is reviewed by the CCO before it takes effect. Firethorn's configurable approval workflows let you decide exactly how much runs automatically and how much comes to you first — at the level of each individual task.

A complete compliance program — built, maintained, and operated.

From the initial build of your compliance program through day-to-day execution, Firethorn covers the full scope of an investment adviser's compliance obligations.

Program Construction

Policies, code of ethics, and risk inventory

A complete compliance program tailored to your strategy, structure, and AUM — delivered in a spreadsheet-first format you can actually manage, with full narrative policy behind every row.

Regulatory Reporting

Form PF, 13F, 13D/G, and more

Firethorn determines exactly which filings apply to your firm, why, and when — and prepares the analysis and drafts ahead of every deadline.

Surveillance

Electronic communications review

Communications reviewed continuously, with keyword monitoring that updates in real time based on your portfolio and open issues.

Regulatory Intelligence

Continuous monitoring, firm-specific relevance

SEC, CFTC, FINRA, and international regulatory developments — filtered for what actually matters to your firm, with proposed updates to your program.

Marketing Review

Marketing Rule pre-clearance

Performance presentation standards, substantiation requirements, and pre-clearance review built for your strategy — private fund or liquid.

Annual Review

Rule 206(4)-7 work plan and execution

A complete annual review work plan, benchmarked against current SEC examination priorities, with testing procedures and documentation ready for sign-off.

A portfolio file comes in. Here's what happens in the next thirty seconds.

This is the difference between software that waits to be used and an agent that's already working. No request was made for any of this — Firethorn reviewed the file, understood what it meant for the firm's obligations, and surfaced exactly what the CCO needs to decide.
