J'aurais envie de traduire par "se pencher sur", mais franchement, je ne connais pas ce terme:
The basis of our model was the business that the founding team had come from, in the main, which was the business of finance. I used to trade bonds at JPMorgan, and I can tell you that what our customers do is exactly the same as what I used to do in my previous life, with the single exception that where I had to pore over balance sheets and income statements, they pore over form and team-sheets.

étudier minutieusement
My first thought was 'se pencher sur...' too, but I think the context demands slightly more emphasis than that, and I'd like to suggest the above as a try, if you as the native speaker feel that this could work in FR?

Robert = Collins also gives 'étudier de près', but I think I still prefer my version, which works so well for both balance sheets and form!

je viens tout juste de penser à "dépouiller" - m'est d'avis que c'est pas mal non plus. Par contre, je pense que la phrase, pour sa tonalité, veut un simple verbe régulier à une ou deux syllabes...
