SOLUTIONS / COMPANIES AND INTERNATIONAL GROUPS
Cash across borders and a clearer view of profit
For companies managing several banks, currencies or legal entities, and for finance teams that need specialist treasury or profitability expertise alongside their existing capabilities.
Where we can help
Your banks and payment providers do not work as one setup
Accounts have different roles, payment routes overlap and it is difficult to compare the full cost of services. We review the account structure, provider terms and payment requirements, including options for additional banking relationships where appropriate.
OUTCOME
A coherent account and payment structure, clear provider roles and a prioritised plan for banking changes.
Cash is in the group but unavailable where you need it
One entity may need funding while another holds surplus funds. Currency, timing or contractual constraints can prevent a simple transfer. We map the flows and develop cash forecasts, reserve rules and intragroup funding options, coordinating legal and tax input where needed.
OUTCOME
A clearer view of cash availability and a plan for meeting obligations by entity and currency.
Surplus balances and financial exposures lack a clear policy
Cash placement decisions may depend on headline yield, while currency movements or changing interest costs affect operating margins. We assess the liquidity profile and exposures, then define placement and risk policies suited to your needs.
OUTCOME
Cash decisions based on access requirements, risk limits and expected return, with scenarios for material exposures.
Reported margin does not reflect the cash tied up in business
Long payment terms, advances and working capital can make a profitable-looking client or project expensive to finance. We assess funding costs and cost allocation alongside product, client and project economics.
OUTCOME
A better basis for pricing, payment terms, discounts and decisions about where to commit resources.
Financing needs a stronger case
We assess the funding requirement and debt structure, prepare financial materials and organise the agreed process with lenders or investors. Financing remains subject to their assessment and approval.
