I’m Sara, the founder and CEO of CU Anchor, a compliance and governance consultancy built for credit unions that need clarity, structure, and a partner they can trust. My work centers on translating complex regulatory expectations into practical, sustainable workflows that stand up to examiner scrutiny and support real‑world teams.

​

For more than a decade, I’ve helped organizations navigate risk, strengthen governance, and build processes without adding noise or unnecessary complexity. I specialize in regulatory interpretation, risk‑based process design, and the kind of documentation that makes examiners exhale instead of escalate. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and intentionally calm—because compliance should create confidence, not chaos.

​

I launched CU Anchor to give small and mid‑sized credit unions access to the same level of clarity and strategic support typically reserved for larger institutions. Whether I’m designing a governance framework, troubleshooting operational gaps, or building branded tools that make compliance easier to manage, my goal is always the same: help teams feel supported, prepared, and anchored.

​

Outside of client work, I’m committed to strengthening the broader credit union ecosystem by making compliance more accessible, more understandable, and more sustainable for the people doing the work every day.
