An important feature within our profitability outsourcing reports is the presentation of various ratios and statistics for components of profitability measurement. Ratios and statistics are invaluable in allowing "apples-to-apples" comparisons of financial data. For instance, branch direct expense to average deposit balance can be computed and presented to demonstrate which branches may have superior expense control compared to others. Other statistics are also quite useful, such as number of accounts, average balance per deposit or loan account and annual cost per account.

TKG staff gathers and updates voluminous ratios and statistics from outsourcing client profitability reports into a valuable peer group data base, where the same "apples-to-apples" benefits can apply across financial institutions. This data is made available to TKG clients in the context of a results analysis service to ferret out performance issues that might not be otherwise evident. Client identity is protected as performance data is presented using averages in meaningful categories, comparing your data to that of other financial services firms. This peer group data can be accessed and analyzed within the context of our on-site outsourcing profitability meetings and/or by subscribing to our periodic peer group results.
