Trevor Provost · Financial Crimes (AML) Analyst

01 — About

A brief introduction

I'm an AML Analyst at Protiviti in Boston, where I conduct financial crimes investigations, draft Suspicious Transaction Reports to FINTRAC, and build audit-ready case files for Canadian retail banking clients.

I graduated with a B.S. in Accounting and Finance from Southern New Hampshire University in 2024 and hold a Google Data Analytics Certificate. My work centers on transaction-monitoring investigations, suspicious activity analysis, and the kind of clean, defensible documentation that holds up under regulatory scrutiny.

Outside the office, I'm a music producer in Ableton, an avid mountain biker, and a fly fisherman. I'm based in Hanson, Massachusetts.
