About SEC Compliance Solutions
Our Vision is to support the financial industry with integrity, accountability, and practicality.
Complying with SEC regulations for Registered Investment Advisers can seem daunting or even unmanageable, especially in an ever-changing regulatory landscape. It takes time and resources to tackle the regulatory requirements imposed on your firm and it can often feel overwhelming, especially for those CCOs who wear many hats! We heard you, and that’s why we started SCS with our hands-on approach. SEC compliance doesn’t have to be complicated, and we want to support you through that journey to simplicity.
Our History
It all started in 2005. Ashland Partners & Company, LLP formed a new division—Ashland Compliance Group—in response to the adoption of Rule 206(4)-7 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940: the Compliance Rule. Thus began SCS’s lineage.
In 2010, Ashland Compliance Group became independent from Ashland Partners and rebranded as Focus 1 Associates, focusing solely on advisers' SEC compliance needs.
In 2017, Elizabeth Cope spun off from Focus 1 and started SEC Compliance Solutions LLC (“SCS”), with a further-refined focus on simplifying SEC compliance and making it practical, efficient, and effective.

Our foundation was established in 2011 in memory of our son Ethan, who was taken from us by childhood cancer on August 8th of the same year. We will keep Ethan’s spirit and smile alive by raising awareness and providing support to the children and families affected by childhood cancer. Our foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity with an active Board of Directors operating solely on a volunteer basis. Our activities and events are made possible by volunteers and donations from businesses and the public at large. Elizabeth formed the Ethan Jostad Foundation, a non-profit organization benefiting childhood cancer, in honor of her nephew who passed from cancer at the age of nine. She currently serves on the Board and as Treasurer.

Elizabeth’s son Kyle is an avid and passionate baseball player. He played in local leagues, but in order to excel and pursue his passion, Elizabeth and her husband saw a need for a competitive travel team. Therefore, she formed and established Southern Oregon Baseball, a non-profit organization for a youth competitive travel baseball team. She currently sits on the Board and is acting Treasurer for the foundation.

The Women’s Leadership Conference of Southern Oregon grew out of a desire to see more women represented in leadership roles in business and the community. This desire is not just about inspiring women to step up as leaders, but also about encouraging women to use their voice and share their stories. From these early ideas, shared over coffee, a community has grown. We are dedicated to providing both personal inspiration and practical application to promote more equitable representation of women leadership in our community—at every career level and all stages of personal growth.
SCS sponsors this truly inspirational conference annually.
