ABOUT
THE EMMERICH GROUP

“[The Emmerich Group] has helped us have a breakthrough we never dreamed possible: assets have grown 44%; loan growth is up 64%; net income has doubled; AND we were ranked #2 by SNL for banks under $1 billion. “

–C. Floyd

President & CEO, First National Bank of Syracuse

“[Working with Emmerich] has taken us from a mediocre bank to a billion-dollar bank earning over a 2.00% ROA and 5% NIM. The magic is the simplicity of a well-executed system that always pops our numbers to the next level.”

–P. Steele

CEO, First Volunteer Bank

“[With the Emmerich Group] we skyrocketed from a bank that was battling for average to a high level of performance we never dreamed possible.

We are hitting every single metric every single quarter—something we never did before. I can’t imagine any bank that wouldn’t want to have this.”

–C. Holland

 CEO, Farmers State Bank

“[Working with Emmerich] we now know how to command premium pricing while maintaining excellent credit quality. [We now have] a predictable success machine that will keep us safe during good times and bad.”

–K. Knudsen

President & CEO, Security Bank,
Past Chair of Graduate School of Banking, Colorado

AS SEEN IN

No Organization Has Helped More Banks
Get to—and Maintain—

Top 5% Performance

Than The Emmerich Group

Hundreds of
community banks across the United States

have trusted The Emmerich Group (TEG) to transform their systems and people, leading to levels of performance they once thought impossible.

“I’ve always said that if our competitors got hold of Roxanne’s information, we’d be in trouble. Fortunately, we found her first.

Roxanne’s system works—especially during times like these.”

—A. Tubbs

 Chair, Ohnward Bancshares, Inc.,
Past President, American Bankers Association

Going from bottom quartile to top quartile
(and knowing how to stay there) IS achievable—in fact,
most TEG clients get there in as little as three years.

“We haven’t encountered a bank yet that couldn’t break through to even better results…even if it’s already a top 5% performer. Many of our clients are—in fact, that’s our specialty.”

HOW TO SEE IF WE’RE A FIT FOR WHAT YOU NEED

Taking the Right First Step

You’re not the right choice for everyone, and neither are we.

Although we specialize in taking good banks to great, we have many stories of banks that had been solidly 4th-quartile performers right across the board that–after working with us–got to 1st-quartile every single year and even hit #1 in their markets within two to three years.

It’s not unusual for our client banks to hit every element of their Utopian dream, including net interest margins well over 4.5 (that jumped by more than 100 basis points)
WHILE they improved the quality of their loans AND took their culture from train wreck to joining the ranks of best places to work.

So if …

You are committed to following through on the uncomfortable but necessary culture transformation.

You see a vision of the community bank that is, once again, the central business institution in the community … that is innovative and that attracts the best customers within the market because they receive such overwhelming value.

You look forward to the day a few short months from now when multiple board members ask you to wide-eyed amazement, “Seriously … how did you accomplish all of this?”

Your gut reaction to being challenged to take your bank to the top 5%—and even to #1 in your state—is
“Bring it on!”
