Working with Pivotal Finance has been an incredibly smooth and focused experience. From day one, they took the time to fully understand our objectives and what success looked like for us. Their ability to navigate uncharted regulatory requirements, obtain quick understanding of BCB Group operations and focusing on the desired outcome made a real difference.

Lola Goggins kept us on course throughout the project, ensuring we achieved exactly what we needed - high-quality, compliant, and well-structured documentation - all delivered on time and within budget. Lola’s expertise, professionalism, and commitment to getting things right were evident in every interaction. We highly recommend Pivotal Finance to anyone looking for a partner with deep understanding of finance operations, regulatory compliance, and governance.

Philipp Prince, CFO and Agathe Laissus, General Counsel - BCB Group

It was my great fortune to work with Lola Goggins-Kaneva when I was a CFO of a cutting-edge regulated crypto exchange. Lola joined as a Group Head of Finance during a period of significant change. Her natural talent lies in rapidly identifying the critical priorities, no matter how complex the situation, and delivering results simply, efficiently, and with full team support.

This rare combination of solid technical expertise and exceptional leadership makes Lola a trusted partner and a pleasure to work with. She is someone you can rely on for tangible, impactful results.

I had the privilege of working with Lola Goggins-Kaneva at Swiss Re, where she consistently demonstrated exceptional diligence, unwavering integrity, and sound management principles. She seamlessly aligned Swiss Re’s complex multijurisdictional standards with Luxembourg regulatory requirements while enhancing Board and Management reporting, delivering clarity and actionable insights.

Lola’s strategic vision and meticulous approach drove efficiency in coordinating multi-entity, multi-location finance processes. As a leader of the Solvency II Reporting workstream and a trusted representative in high-impact board meetings and regulatory visits, she inspired trust and confidence through her professionalism and commitment to excellence.
