Who We Are

Practical support for the obligations your business now faces.

AUSTRAC's Tranche II reforms have brought thousands of Australian businesses under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act for the first time. The obligations are real, the timelines are firm, and the penalties for non-compliance are significant.

WilliamThomas&Co. was established to help newly regulated businesses access experienced, senior guidance — the kind that was previously only available to major financial institutions. We help you understand what good looks like, so you can meet your obligations with confidence.

Whether you're a large agency or a sole trader just finding your feet, we work at your pace, in plain language, and support you every step of the way.

Senior expertise.
Here to help you.

Alison Purdy founded WilliamThomas&Co. after years spent building and reviewing AML/CTF programs at the highest level of Australia's financial services sector. She saw a gap: thousands of newly regulated businesses with real obligations and nowhere near enough quality guidance.

Every client receives Alison's direct attention — not a junior consultant or a generic checklist. She takes the time to understand your business and help you work through your obligations.

"I built programs for some of Australia's largest institutions. Now I bring that same standard to every business that needs it — regardless of size."

About Alison
Wherever You're Starting From

Most of our clients had never heard of AUSTRAC six months ago.

If you've recently learned that your business is now regulated under Australia's anti-money laundering laws — and you're not sure what that means, what you need to do, or where to begin — you're in exactly the right place.

The Tranche II reforms have brought thousands of ordinary small businesses into a regulatory framework that was previously the domain of banks. It's new territory for almost everyone it captures. There's no expectation that you already know the answers.

We work at whatever pace suits you, explain everything in plain language, and never make you feel out of your depth for asking.

Why WilliamThomas&Co.

Senior expertise.
Here when you need it.

01
Senior-Level Experience

Our approach draws on extensive experience in financial crime compliance at Australia's major financial institutions. We bring that background to help you understand and meet your own obligations.

02
No Templates. No Shortcuts.

Every risk assessment and review is approached specifically for your business. We want you to genuinely understand your program — not just hold a document you can't explain.

03
We help you understand what's involved

We help you work through your compliance program step by step, in plain language, so you genuinely understand what it contains and why — and can speak to it clearly yourself.

Our Approach

"We draw on the experience gained working within major financial institutions to help you understand and work toward your obligations — because that background shouldn't only be available to large businesses."

Common Questions

Before you get in touch.

My business has only just been told it needs to comply. Where do I start?

Start with a ML/TF risk assessment — it's the first legal requirement and the foundation of everything else. We guide you through the entire process from scratch. No prior compliance knowledge required.

I'm a sole trader or very small practice. Is this relevant to me?

Yes. The Tranche II reforms apply regardless of business size. A proportionate program for a small practice is far simpler than one for a large firm — and that's exactly what we build.

How long does it take to get compliant?

For most small businesses, we can complete a risk assessment and basic program within a few weeks, depending on your availability and complexity. We work at your pace.

What if I've already started on my own?

That's completely fine. We pick up from wherever you are — reviewing what you've done, filling gaps, or starting fresh if needed. No judgement either way.

What does it cost?

Every engagement is scoped to your specific business. Book a free discovery call and we'll give you a clear picture of what's involved and what it's likely to cost — before any commitment.

Do I need a lawyer or accountant as well?

Not necessarily — we focus on your AML/CTF compliance — though your situation may also benefit from legal or accounting advice. We'll be clear about what falls within our scope and point you in the right direction for anything that doesn't.
