At FPP we have the expertise and know how to help your organization continue down the road to success. We are unique in the sense that each partner delivers a hands-on approach to each and every client engagement. We possess the skillsets and technical know-how our clients demand when they select a business partner. We not only manage the entire client relationship, but we also work directly with you and your team.
FPP has completed 140+ projects, amassing the knowledge and ongoing industry data needed to deliver our services with a comprehensive approach and detailed project plans designed to promote responsibility, accountability, and execution that enhances your company's overall Financial Performance.
Our approach combines our industry knowledge, detailed analysis, and insight to work in conjunction with your leadership team to develop the action plans required to turn your vision into reality. Our engineering backgrounds have taught us to make data driven decisions and to follow a proven structured approach.
At FPP, we leverage the "Shewhart cycle" made popular by Dr. W. Edwards Deming, the father of modern quality control. The repeated cycle follows four basic steps:
Project management is at the root of the our skillsets at FPP. Our focus on responsibility, accountability, and execution delivers successful projects while promoting long-term relationships with our clients. Due to our engineering backgrounds, we fully understand that the only constant is change. We are adept at effectively leveraging research, analytics, and industry insights to help design and execute project plans designed to support critical business initiatives for complex projects. The best way to understand FPP's project management capabilities and style is to talk with our past clients. We will gladly provide references and set up an introduction.
We have developed a comprehensive approach to integration. We manage all aspects required to integrate the day-to-day operations while minimizing the overall customer impact and potential disruption of service. We identify profit improvement opportunities through increased revenue and/or expense reduction, resulting in the combined entity being a more profitable financial institution on day one. Our integration process has over 700 tasks that we specifically tailored to meet your needs. Our proprietary tools have been designed to provide a collaborative work environment providing access for team members in multiple locations. These tools foster information flow and timely communication while supporting risk mitigation by identifying the level of risk (R- Red, O- Orange, Y- Yellow, G- Green) associated with specific tasks. This provides means to continuously monitor progress using a management–by–eye approach.
We understand the operational and customer needs of our clients through the vast experience gained completing Merger Integration projects. FPP has the capability to negotiate both the monetary and non-monetary terms and conditions of your long term vendor agreements. Technology is most likely one of the largest non-interest expense for most Financial Institutions. Our vast experience working with community bankers and their technology providers allows us to continually update our industry intelligence. We help drive sound technology decisions, matching your needs and budget in order to maximize the return on your technology investment.
At FPP, we will tailor a due diligence or loan portfolio review to meet your specific needs as our client. We have experience completing loan reviews in conjunction with a comprehensive due diligence effort for acquisition, a capital infusion, or to meet the requirements set forth for your third party independent loan portfolio review. Our unique approach to Loan Review includes the tools to support an efficient and collaborative process either on-site or remotely. We have also developed proprietary computer simulation models to analyze the risk associated with the "homogeneous" loan portfolios (Mortgages, HELOC's, Consumer Loans).
Financial Performance Partners blends a very unique combination of financial service, engineering and management experiences we have acquired at Fortune 500® firms including Honda, GM, and Johnson Controls. This unique combination delivers results and improves performance with a Beyond the Traditional℠ approach, which no other firm can match. We partner with you, our clients, to bring fruition significant projects and initiatives. We drive the development and execution of project plans designed to enhance your overall Financial Performance.

We have worked with a multitude of clients. See what some of them have said about FPP.
"When we embarked on this strategic alignment of two major financial institutions… it was very apparent we needed the best integration specialists in the business. FPP’s attention to detail helped us execute this opportunity with the maximum confidence."
"This is the most thorough and comprehensive due diligence review with which I have ever been associated. Financial Performance Partners takes this art to the next level with a disciplined approach. You feel very comfortable making decisions based upon their assessment. They ask the right questions and get the answers."
"FPP was an excellent partner for our two consecutive bank acquisitions. With the aid of their comprehensive management tool, Mark provided clear and concise directives that kept the team advancing cohesively and able to meet the vital deadlines that lead to the successful integrations. The process drilled down into specific details that the team may not have considered without the guidance and direction of FPP."
"As I have said before, glad you are part of the launch team…thanks again for going above and beyond. You showed great ingenuity in figuring out a quantitative way to validate the system. You’ve been dogged throughout the development process."
"FPP has provided a tremendous service…I cannot emphasize enough how beneficial your guidance has been."
