don't operate based on the ups and downs of the economy
Unlike lending institutions (banks), independent financial advisors don't operate based on the ups and downs of the economy. In other words, even during times of economic crisis, their own businesses flourish and their services are in high demand. Ah, the lucky translator who works for an independent financial advisor!

| I appreciate everyone's efforts and your impression that i closed it quickly. I got the text at 9am today, discussed final version with client at 12 and it was presented to its audience in New York this afternoon. Client was very happy with my rendition of your suggestion - and they do know what they are talking about. |

Thanks, you learn something new every day, Ted. In other words, independent financial advisors have NO min. capital requirements!? Perhaps you can have the question re-opened to make an official entry.

Andrea Hauer
: das verstehe ich hier auch völlig anders, nämlich so, wie Ted es sagt - das Englische sagt etwas völlig anderes aus als das Deutsche hier.

Ich habe es verstanden im Sinne von "Bilanz=Ergebnis", d.h., die Tätigkeit der Firma läuft unabhängig von der all. finanz. Lage der Branche, und deshalb ist eine Refinanzierung nicht nötig. Aber Ihr seid die Finanzexperten hier! Siehe mein Kommentar oben.

outside (of) the balance sheet
But hard to be sure without more context. What kind of document are your translating? See possible helpful links below.
Example sentence:
These adjustments, which are effectively made outside the balance sheet as such, refer to either the capitalization of assets / accrual of assets, or the evaluation of assets / liabilities.
