Research consulting
The research coaching is a service of the Bankingmonitor.com, providing comprehensive tools and insights on how to conduct academic research in finance and economics. We propose two research packages to provide students, researchers, and professionals the needed expertise to enable them to work efficiently and publish in ranked journals.
Coaching services
This service provide researchers with two specific packages: The coaching package and the grant writing package. Both packages provide academics with several insights on how to identify your research question and pose your hypotheses. These two packages will also help you refine your research work to enhance its disclosure and its success rates.
Data management
We provide several services related to financial data management, including data collection, cleaning, formatting, and storing. This package can help creating a standardised and integrated databases that can be used in multiple research projects. Currently, original (i.e. hand-collected) databases are becoming increasingly important in saving time and cost for many researchers. These databases are more efficient in answering multidisciplinary research questions and highly recommended when targeting highly ranked journals.
Financial modelling
We offer students, researchers, and professionals with instruments that can help them quantify and assess the association between various financial and economic measures. Our experts help assessing the most appropriate empirical methodology for your research design. We also provide guidance on the robustness tests and other estimation techniques that are used to validate research main findings. Robustness checks along with the main empirical model are often required by journal's editors and referees.
Teaching notes
We provide undergraduate and graduate students with teaching packages or summaries for several courses, including Analysis of Markets, Management of Financial Institutions, Regulation of Financial Institutions, Introduction to Corporate Finance, Data Mining, Introduction to Financial Modelling, and Fintech. Teaching packages contain chapters' summaries and exercises as well as case studies that can help students achieving their study goals in a timely matter.
Seminars and workshops
We offer independent research workshops and seminars dedicated to professionals, researchers, and university professors. These workshops are short, intensive and provide an important learning experience. We aim to promote modern quantitative methods (especially econometric models) and their application in the field of finance and economics. We also offer seminars on how to write and publish an academic article in ranked finance and economic journals.
The research coaching at Bankingmonitor.com helps students, researchers, and professionals refine their writing and choose the most appropriate journals to publish their manuscripts. In the standard academic package, we provide you the needed steps and guidelines to authors on how to write their working papers more efficiently. We also provide recommendations and key points to better disclose their work within the academic literature. Moreover, refining academic research includes editing and polishing new drafts (French or English) , bachelors and masters’ thesis as well as Ph.D. dissertations.
We also provide a gold academic package, which includes structural and grammatical editing as well as plagiarism check and a formatted letter with feedback about your research strengths and weaknesses. This deluxe academic package offers unlimited revisions for one week, assistance in meeting the word count, and formatting conditions of your targeted journal. Moreover, the gold academic package includes the submission of working papers on behalf of the authors (i.e. preparing the structure and the biography of the manuscript, proofreading and editing services, preparing the letter to the editor, filling the declaration of interest, and the submission verification).

The goal is to help you graduate with your master thesis and Ph.D. dissertation faster.
Within the coaching package, we offer a silver track and a gold track. Our silver track provides a 30 minutes (questions and answers) session over Skype weekly and high-level feedback on 1 to 2 pages via email. Our gold track offers 45 minutes (questions and answers) session over Skype weekly as well as high-level detailed (literature and empirical) feedback on 3 to 5 pages per week.
As for the grant-writing package, we bring more than nine years of scientific research and grant writing experience to our work as grant writing consultants. Our team have helped in receiving prestigious grants from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers of Quebec and from several research centers and International financial organizations (e.g., Desjardins Centre for Innovation in Business Finance, the Islamic Development Bank, etc.). Our researchers also serve on several research and grant review panels; they propose improvements and provide editing advice to better position your grant and increase its success rate.

We work with our partners and data entry’s third parties to enable banks and researchers to use data more effectively. We are experts at making sure that data prepped for statistical visualization and data analysis. We propose to help in the following activities:
- Extracting data from one or multiple database
- Combining multiple files or databases in one file or one database
- Extracting raw data from balance sheet and income statements and computing financial ratios
- Extracting detailed governance data and combine them with financial data
- Creating unique databases one specific topics, often multidisciplinary, such as macroeconomics, financial markets, institutional environment, investors’ attention, cultural values, mergers and acquisitions, etc
- Extracting data from fixed, delimited, and other formats.
Data might require special organization. It could take a wide or a long formatting, where universities, banks, or researchers might request a different format. We can reshape the data from long to wide format or from wide to long format. For instance, before running a regression, several steps must be conducted, including the following:
- Merging data from different databases with different years and countries
- Truncating or winsorizing of financial ratios using our own expertise to determine the respective level of truncation/winsorization
- Replacing missing values and handling balanced versus unbalanced datasets
- Providing professional opinion on the choice of financial ratios and the current trends employed in the finance and the economic literature
