Offices of Bank Holding Companies

NAICS 551111 · Management of Companies and Enterprises · SBA size standard: $38.5 million average annual receipts

Offices of bank holding companies coordinate oversight of subsidiary banks, consolidate financial results, prepare regulatory reports, manage intercompany arrangements, schedule governance meetings, track licenses and approvals, and coordinate audits. For an office that receives subsidiary performance data, filing deadlines, internal transaction requests and examination notices, the specialists turn incoming reports into consolidated views, draft filings and agreements for review, maintain calendars for board meetings and renewals, and organize audit materials while people confirm every regulatory position, approval, expenditure and filing.
