Advisor Notes
Methodology
Sorren Benchmark aggregates anonymized financial, tax, payroll and operational data across 60,000 businesses. Peer statistics report count, mean, median, 10th, 25th, 75th and 90th percentiles and standard deviation. Comparisons use normalized ratios rather than raw dollars. Statistics are released only where a cohort contains at least 10 businesses, and individual peer companies are never displayed. Benchmark variance expresses the mathematical difference between this company and its peer median; it is not a projection of savings, nor tax or investment advice.
