These benchmarks are designed to empower bankers, accountants, consultants, and business valuers to make more informed predictions about their clients' financial stability and future growth. With five years of historical data at your fingertips, spotting anomalies becomes easier and understanding how fluctuations in financial health compare to industry trends is more straightforward than ever.
This enhancement comes on the heels of our success in North America and the UK, where professionals have already been reaping the benefits of our financial ratio data. For instance, Eric Gerdes of Endurium Advisors in the USA shared how IBISWorld's financial benchmarks helped them identify a $2 million profit increase for a client. By analyzing operating costs, he was able to recommend aligning the cost of goods sold with industry standards—a move that proved to be a game-changer.
We're excited to bring these same opportunities for productivity and efficiency to Australian businesses. If you're an existing IBISWorld member, you'll find the new financial ratio data integrated into all of the hundreds of ANZSIC reports in our Australian collection.
