Philip Ciantro, President and Founder 


SineMetu Solutions was founded in 2011 to provide individual and corporate tax preparation, small business accounting, and consulting services. In 2013, the range of services was expanded to include a full range of services to the broker-dealer community.


Seeking to leverage a successful career in the financial markets, serving in various roles as a risk manager, trader and salesperson, Phil joined the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) in 2007. Following the merger of the NASD and NY Stock Exchange Regulation to form FINRA, he served as an integral part of FINRA's examination staff.


During his six year tenure with FINRA, Phil spent three years as a Principal Examiner, conducting sales practice examinations of FINRA members. The breadth of examinations was significant. He conducted solo examinations of small FINRA members in both New York and London, branch examinations for large clearing firms and served as lead examiner for examinations of the largest FINRA members.


For the three years prior to leaving FINRA, Phil served as a Principal Regulatory Coordinator for 35 introducing broker-dealers and 10 clearing firms. The Regulatory Coordinator serves as the primary contact for member firms for most regulatory inquiry. The Coordinator serves as a liason for the firms as well as a central source of information for various internal FINRA departments. The Coordinator plans the examination of a member firm based on the continuous risk assessments they conduct. For ongoing risk monitoring, the Coordinator is responsible for the review and assessment of the member firms’ FOCUS filings and Annual Audit reports.  Additionally, the Coordinator’s input is required for New Member and Continuing Member Applications conducted by the FINRA MAP team. 


Phil holds an MBA and a Masters in Accountancy and FINRA Series 27- Financial and Operations Principal license.
