Gauge

Gauge is an objective benchmark which provides a unique opportunity to compare an organization against its closest peers at a level that provides actionable results. Gauge takes revenue, expenses and headcount by location and compares performance against peers at a granular business level, allowing financial institutions to allocate resources in the most efficient and productive way possible.

Gauge uses data taken directly from the general ledger and maps it into a standard structure to ensure a real apples to apples comparison. This objectivity and unique process ensures that a firm can garner value and key market insight which will help shape the budgeting and planning process and ultimately flow through to enhancing the bottom line.

Some of the key performance indicators and statistics include:

• Revenue & Productivity Analysis

• Payout Ratios

• Cost of Support and Scaling Metrics

• Cost by Detailed Expense Line: Comp & Non Comp

• Staffing Levels & Grade Pyramid

• Trends

• Location Strategy & Trends / Cost

Gauge has a demonstrated track record of delivering significant value to the world's leading financial institutions, including the top bulge bracket Investment Banks, by drawing out the key points and conclusions and working with its clients in interpreting and taking action on the results.
