NoW Partners provides a full range of services: compliance, management consulting, corporate services, governance, digital transformation, internal audit, and risk management. Its clients include regulated financial institutions such as banks, PFS, asset servicers, insurers, investment fund managers, and funds.

“The heart of our work is deep confidence in our expertise, built through years in finance. We push ourselves to adapt, improve and anticipate client needs. Taking pride in our capabilities drives curiosity, agility and excellence,” says co-founder Eric Nolen.

New office in Paris

Headquartered in Luxembourg – Europe’s top fund hub – NoW Partners has expanded with a new office in Paris, led by Philippe Anquetil. This move strengthens cross-border capabilities and brings the firm closer to major financial players in France.

Reinforced leadership team

To support growth, the firm appointed four new managing partners: Abdelkader Yahiaoui, Thierry De Poerck, and Hugo Larguinho Brás in Luxembourg, and Philippe Anquetil in Paris. Each brings 25+ years of experience in compliance, operations, and advisory – reinforcing NoW’s senior-led, hands-on model.

People-focussed, value-driven
