Financial Services

Expert Guidance In A Highly-Regulated Environment

The financial services industry has been under heightened scrutiny since the Great Recession of the late 2000s. Beset by increasing regulation, capital requirements and net interest margin compression, these companies have had to implement vast changes to stay ahead of the curve and remain profitable. Additionally, industry consolidation has and will likely be a driving force of change into the foreseeable future, forcing companies to evaluate their strategic options and devise new operating procedures. Facing an uncertain future, financial service companies would benefit from having a strategic partner and advisor by their side. Our experienced consultants at Silverman Consulting have led many successful financial service transformations over the past 40 years.

Our process is developed exclusively for your company by working with management to understand the specific issues your institution faces. We focus on creating operational efficiencies while identifying cost reduction options and capital plans that work for your company. Furthermore, we have worked intimately with the FDIC, Federal Reserve and other Regulatory agencies on appropriate capital requirements and reporting procedures to ensure a brighter future for our clients.
