Client Experience

Individualized attention and service

As trends, economic factors, and regulations change, we help you keep a step ahead by looking at the implications for your institution. Our ability to react quickly in an increasingly complex and evolving field — and translate how that affects you — is what sets us apart.

Brian Franey, financial services practice leader, knows that taking the time to understand the specific dynamics that separate you from your competitors is a key factor. “When our clients raise a concern, we don’t just provide a canned response. Each engagement is unique. We put their fears to rest by investing our efforts into studying their particular organization and providing practical, effective, and timely solutions.”

Our clients say

I view our relationship with Plante as a strategic business partnership — an alliance that I can rely on for sound business advice. They are recognized as a true industry leader. The staff assigned to our account are very talented, dedicated professionals who take pride in their work. We have also had significant continuity in staffing which has been a real plus. Their "we care" client service culture is evident in the way they interact with our staff and consulting with us throughout the year.
