Charlotte community bank consulting firm to hire 6

Charlotte-based TruPoint Partners, a consulting and data analytics firm that helps community banks and credit unions with compliance and marketing, announced that it will be hiring six new employees in the first quarter of 2012 as it expands.

The hiring coincides with the company's launch of an online platform to help with reporting for regulatory compliance and management.

“Compliance costs are rising dramatically and many believe they will outpace earnings in the foreseeable future,” CEO Trey Sullivan said in a statement. “Our clients told us that something had to be done to reduce complexity and make it easier to access and understand their data."
