For corporate treasurers · TMS project advisory

Bring us in before the decisions are made

Client-side advisory for treasury teams planning, selecting or mobilising a TMS project. We test the design, ask the questions that might otherwise get pushed into later phases, and keep the project anchored in how treasury needs to operate.

Why timing matters

A successful TMS project is shaped well before implementation begins

Some of the most important decisions are made early — how workflows should run, where controls sit, what compliance and audit requirements need to be built in, how data moves between systems, which integrations matter from day one, and what treasury will need from the platform once it is live.

None of this is particularly challenging on its own. But it is easy to under-scope when the team is also managing liquidity, payments, reporting, risk and day-to-day business demands — we get it, we've been there and done that many times over.

By the time a vendor is selected, the scope is agreed and the implementation clock is running, those decisions become harder — and more expensive — to revisit. Your Treasury provides experienced client-side support at the point where it can make the biggest difference.

The earlier the project is structured properly, the easier it is to protect value later.

What we test early

What we help you think through early

When Your Treasury comes in at the start of a project, these are the areas we work through with the team.

Workflow design

How the process should run once the system is live — not simply how it works today.

Controls

Where approvals, segregation of duties, audit trails and exception handling need to sit.

Compliance

Which regulatory, audit, accounting and internal policy requirements need to be reflected in the design.

Data

What data is required, where it comes from, who owns it and how reliable it is.

Connectivity

Which bank, ERP, market data and reporting integrations are essential from go-live.

Automation

Where automation can reduce effort without weakening oversight or creating new risk.

Reporting

What treasury, finance and leadership need to see — and how outputs will actually be used.

Ownership

Who makes decisions, maintains processes and manages change after go-live.

How we support the project

Additional capacity, structure and challenge

Treasury teams are often expected to shape major technology decisions while still running day-to-day operations. We work as an experienced client-side partner, keeping the right decisions visible — from requirements and vendor challenge through to project governance, user readiness and go-live.

01

Before selection

  • Define objectives and treasury requirements
  • Map future-state workflows and operating model
  • Identify control, compliance and data obligations
  • Assess integration and connectivity priorities
  • Build the business case and evaluation criteria
02

During selection

  • Shape and issue the RFP
  • Build the vendor longlist and shortlist
  • Facilitate and score demos against requirements
  • Pressure-test vendor assumptions and commercials
  • Support negotiation through to contract
03

Mobilisation & delivery

  • Support client-side project management and governance
  • Keep treasury priorities visible throughout delivery
  • Monitor scope, timeline and implementation quality
  • Support user readiness and adoption
  • Check the system reflects the design, not only the demo

The practitioner lens

Every aspect of the engagement is tested against four areas

Design

Workflows, future-state operating model, process ownership and requirements.

Control

Compliance, audit trail, approvals, segregation of duties and policy alignment.

Connect

Bank, ERP, market data, accounting, reporting and API connectivity.

Adopt

Governance, user experience, change management and long-term ownership.

Why Your Treasury?

Independent, practitioner-led, technology-aware

Practitioner-led

We have run treasury at FTSE 100 and PE-backed scale. We understand what the system needs to support because we have worked inside treasury teams that depend on it.

Genuinely independent

No vendor relationships or commissions, and no allegiance to any TMS provider — although we hold experience and connections across established and emerging firms. Our obligation is to your project.

Technology-aware

We know the major (and minor) platforms well enough to ask informed questions, pressure-test assumptions and separate demo strength from practical fit.

Control from the start

Workflow design, compliance requirements and control architecture are considered from day one — not retrofitted when change is more expensive and disruptive.
