partnership benefits

  • our customized approach

    The benefits of Hilborn & Howell, LLC are irresistible to bankers by erasing inefficiencies, cutting costs, and improving asset quality. There is a constant struggle in the cash flow aspect of banking. There is no surprise that this struggle exists because of the complications surrounding cash flows. Software has tried to solve this problem but has failed because it cannot critically analyze outside the box. The rigidity of software often leads to inaccurate analysis while still requiring paying someone to enter the data. Cash flow analysis is not simply inputting numbers into software to generate ratios and graphs. Hilborn & Howell, LLC knows cash flows are crucial to the lending function, which requires a customizable, human element to understand a borrower's potential to repay debt thoroughly.

  • Lead the way

    The lending function has evolved into a sales and relationship position. The demands of sales are the essence of bank revenue. Commercial lending is built around independent third-party work except for the cash flow analysis. The topic of independent cash flow analysis is often discussed within the banking industry. It is the belief of Hilborn & Howell, LLC that regulators will begin to demand more independence in the future. We have also received solid feedback from examiners across the country
