Core Treasury

What can do for you; By core treasury we mean the central control points of financial flows within a company. The core treasury is therefore tasked with protecting and safeguarding the company from financial damage at all times. We specialise in the successful implementation of treasury issues and processes in existing treasury departments and, above all, in the establishment of new professional treasury desks in companies that are seeking the critical mass to specialise in this vitally important area.
Reference Project: For a medium-sized IT security company in Munich, the rapid growth in demand for its services created a clear need for specialisation and professional management of the numerous individual treasury processes. We analysed the current and future tasks, put them into an efficient structure and set up a treasury department, including IT and human resources. As a result, the client was able to significantly reduce its foreign exchange and interest rate risks, protect its earnings from unwanted influences from the capital markets, place its financing on a sound footing and control its debt collection and accounts payable management through sustainable working capital management. All this is set out in a clear treasury policy, which is clearly communicated as an integral part of the corporate guidelines.

From long-term core financing, based on rolling medium- and long-term financial planning derived from strategic business objectives, through property, project and structured finance, supplemented by appropriate credit lines, to the broad and important area of trade finance, where there is often greater potential for optimisation.
