Creating Executive Banking Reports

Python
import pandas as pd import numpy as np from datetime import datetime, timedelta # Executive summary template exec_summary = { 'key_findings': [], 'revenue_impact': 0, 'risk_indicators': [], 'recommendations': [] } # Load and merge core datasets client_data = pd.read_csv('client_portfolio.csv') salesforce_data = pd.read_excel('sf_export.xlsx') performance_data = pd.read_csv('performance_metrics.csv') merged_data = client_data.merge(salesforce_data, on='client_id', how='left')
Recommendation
Replace the generic Python code in Quick Start with a banking-specific example showing actual data transformation and KPI calculation (e.g., AUM growth calculation, client concentration metrics)

Progress:

  • Data Discovery: Catalog all available sources and data quality
  • Executive Interview: Confirm key questions and success metrics
  • Data Integration: Clean, standardize, and merge disparate sources
  • Analysis Framework: Apply banking KPIs (AUM growth, fee income, risk metrics)
  • Insight Generation: Identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities
  • Visualization Design: Create executive-level charts and dashboards
  • Narrative Construction: Build compelling story with data evidence
  • Executive Review: Present findings and refine recommendations
Recommendation
Add more concrete input/output examples - include actual data snippets and show the exact executive summary format with real numbers and specific recommendations

Example 1: Client Concentration Risk Analysis Input: Client portfolio data, transaction history, market data Output: "Top 10 clients represent 47% of AUM ($2.3B), with 3 clients showing 15%+ portfolio volatility. Recommend diversification strategy targeting $500M in new mid-tier acquisitions."

Example 2: Revenue Opportunity Assessment Input: Salesforce pipeline, fee structures, client interactions Output: "Underutilized advisory services across 340 high-net-worth clients represent $12M annual revenue opportunity. Current penetration: 23% vs. peer average of 41%."

Recommendation
Expand the workflow checklist with banking-specific validation steps (regulatory compliance checks, risk tolerance verification, peer benchmarking methodology)

Data Integration:

  • Establish master client ID mapping across all systems
  • Document data lineage and refresh frequencies
  • Flag data quality issues prominently in reports

Executive Communication:

  • Lead with 3-bullet executive summary
  • Use banking terminology (AUM, NAV, alpha, Sharpe ratio)
  • Quantify everything in dollars and basis points
  • Include confidence intervals for projections

Visual Standards:

  • Limit to 5 colors maximum
  • Use horizontal bar charts for rankings
  • Include trend arrows and variance indicators
  • Standardize on monthly/quarterly time periods
  • Don't present raw correlation matrices to executives
  • Don't use technical jargon (API calls, data schemas) in reports
  • Don't show more than 7 items in any single chart
  • Don't forget to adjust for market conditions in performance comparisons
  • Don't present recommendations without clear ROI calculations
  • Don't ignore regulatory implications (privacy, compliance requirements)
