About Skematic
We’re rebuilding compliance technology from the ground up — uniting firm oversight and employee compliance in one interoperable system, so firms can finally manage the entire compliance function through a single lens. Founded by the team that helped shape the first generation of RegTech, Skematic delivers the product and service compliance officers deserve.
From Industry Insiders to Industry Reformers.
For too long, compliance teams have been stuck choosing between bloated legacy systems that can’t keep up — and newcomers that look sleek but lack real substance. Many promise “all-in-one” functionality, yet still force customers to settle for disconnected modules, unreliable feeds, and hard to reach support.
Our team has seen this industry from every angle — as compliance operators, and as early builders of the tools firms still use today. That perspective made one thing clear: the industry didn’t need another facelift. It needed a fundamental re-architecture.
We started with a smarter foundation — one centered around the entire compliance function, not just a single piece. Over time, we layered in automation and intelligence directly into the framework. The result? An interoperable system powered by intelligent workflows and integrations.
Our story
2021
A Vision for Change
After decades of working in compliance and RegTech, Brian Kesselman and Charles Steerman saw firsthand how compliance professionals were being underserved by existing solutions.
They envisioned a platform that would finally give compliance teams the comprehensive solution they deserved: one that could centralize the entire compliance function in a single workstation.
2022
Launching a First-of-its-Kind Product
In 2022, Skematic introduced the first Compliance Workflow Management solution. Before Skematic, firms relied on shallow task lists and static calendars; no one offered a Monday.com-style platform designed for regulatory rigor.
By linking every task to its policy, Skematic replaced spreadsheets and reminders with a single, audit-ready command center — giving teams real-time visibility, clear ownership, and confidence nothing would slip through the cracks.

Teaming up with FRT
In 2024, Skematic became part of Financial Recovery Technologies (FRT), a long-established leader serving institutional investors. The partnership brought scale, stability, and shared values — a long-term, customer-first mindset rooted in family-office ownership, not private equity pressure.
Together, FRT and Skematic are redefining service and sustainability in compliance tech — investing in innovation, prioritizing transparency, and delivering better performance without inflated pricing.
2025
Integrating Employee Compliance
In 2025, Skematic launched its Employee Compliance solution, fully integrated into the platform. This milestone transformed Skematic into the industry’s first interoperable compliance management system.
More than a new module, it’s the natural evolution of our program-first architecture — allowing compliance teams to automate additional aspects of their work in Skematic.
