Regulatory compliance and audit readiness
Financial firms face scrutiny from regulators, boards, and internal auditors regarding how pay is set and managed.

Market pricing with industry-relevant benchmarks
Competition for highly specialized roles can be intense – from revenue-generating roles to risk, compliance, and technology. Leverage ERI’s database and Compensation Management software to accurately price roles and gain strategic insights. ERI’s Survey Management feature enables you to combine multiple survey sources in one platform to build competitive market rates for relevant roles.
Complex job architectures and specialized roles
Job roles evolve quickly in the finance sector, often blending finance, technology, and analytics. ERI supports internal job titles, pay grades, and job levels so that you can standardize roles across departments. ERI’s Hybrid Jobs feature also enables you to blend data from up to 30 benchmarked roles at once to value unique roles.
Pay equity and compression insights
Financial institutions face heightened expectations around fairness and transparency in pay. ERI’s Pay Equity feature helps you identify gaps between employee groups, while the Compression Check feature can help you address compression between supervisors and their subordinates.
Geographic pay and compensation comparisons
Leverage ERI’s Geographic Assessor to set and manage geographic pay differentials using cost-of-labor data and not guesswork. In the same software, you can access and manage geographic wage differential data to set salary structures, calculate adjustments for cost-of-living differences, and more!
Compensation budgeting and scenario planning
Compensation spending shifts with performance and market conditions. The Budget feature in ERI’s Compensation Management platform enables you to set department-level budgets for salary, incentives, and salary increases and then track actual compensation costs against those targets as employee information is updated.

Financial Services Compensation Management FAQs
How do we benchmark specialized financial roles? 
Roles do not always match “standard” job titles, especially in areas like quantitative finance, trading, risk, compliance, actuarial, data/AI, and wealth management. ERI helps by letting you benchmark pay using market data tied to clear role definitions, levels, and locations. If a role spans multiple specialties, you can use ERI’s tools to map the job to the closest benchmarks (or combine multiple benchmarks into Hybrid Jobs) so that you get realistic market ranges instead of forcing an unreasonable job match.
How does ERI support audit and regulatory defensibility for pay decisions?
In financial services, pay decisions often need to be explained to leadership, internal auditors, and sometimes regulators. ERI supports defensibility by giving you independent, market-based compensation benchmarks and tools to document how ranges, increases, and incentives were determined. You can also export reports that show pay alignment, pay grades, budgeting, and compliance red flags, giving you transparent, shareable documentation behind compensation decisions when questions arise.
Can ERI help support bonus and incentive planning, including tracking incentive spending?
Yes. The Budget feature in ERI’s Compensation Management solution enables you to define and manage compensation budgets by department. This ensures that salary increases, incentives, and total compensation plans remain aligned with your organization’s financial targets.
How do we manage geographic pay across major financial regional markets?
Yes. ERI’s Geographic Assessor supports location-based benchmarking and geographic differentials so that you can align pay ranges to local labor markets across regions. This helps maintain consistent pay structures while accounting for differences in market rates by location.
