  • Practical, Actionable Solutions – We combine strategic thinking with real-world execution, ensuring that our advice translates into measurable results.
  • Enduring Support – Like the Carn that guides travellers, we provide long-term, reliable guidance, helping you navigate complexity with confidence—whether it’s compliance, leadership, ESG, or strategic growth.

From micro-businesses to global enterprises, our commitment remains the same: empowering you to succeed, sustainably and strategically.
Our Story

At Carn Advisory, we provide enduring guidance to help businesses navigate complex challenges with confidence.


Inspired by the Manx Gaelic word for Cairn - ancient crafted landmarks used to guide travellers - our approach is rooted in clarity, resilience, and purpose.


Founded in the Isle of Man, we bring deep expertise in strategic leadership, governance, regulatory compliance, and ESG. 


Over a 20+ year career our founder, Ty Smith, has held senior positions across regulatory, corporate, and industry landscapes, including roles in Tier 1 gambling regulation, B2B and B2C operations, and corporate governance.


We work with micro, SME, and corporate businesses, offering tailored support in business strategy, leadership development, regulatory compliance, ESG, and community investment.


Whether guiding gaming firms through complex regulatory landscapes, helping businesses implement sustainability strategies, or supporting charities in securing funding, we are committed to delivering meaningful, lasting impact.


Like a Carn stands the test of time, so does our commitment to our clients. We help businesses move forward—strategically, sustainably, and successfully.
