OUR SERVICES

---

We undertake RFP preparation, process and review with treasury benchmarking. Sage Treasury can support the selection process, challenge third parties and offer an internal unbiased sounding board for the client’s management team.
This can range from large scale / complex solutions, full front-to-back, right across the business spectrum to medium and smaller-sized organisations.
We have direct experience of in-house proprietary treasury solution builds for both wholesale banks and private sector corporations.

Not only can we provide the advisory services and oversight necessary for a system / solution selection, but we can also undertake the RFP, in partnership with the client and upon selection support or even lead the implementation via a formal project. We have experience of working with multiple vendors of varying size.

The demands on reporting have increased significantly over the years, partly in connection with internal MI needing to be more connected and timely but also in connection with regulatory obligations.

Interactive and data-rich dashboards across front, middle and operational users have become essential.  High performance with interoperability and rich data that evaluates the behaviour of investments, ALM, liquidity- centric variances and positional control tolerances are just some thematic examples.   

The rise in system-led MI-themed reporting has become a pivotal foundation to timely and accurate decision-making leading to the supervision of KPIs and any potential courses of alternative action..

We can collaborate with you to review, or even craft on your behalf, policy documents, procedures and controls and seek to embed such strategic governance within the treasury structure and treasury entity as part of the organisation.

We can function as a sounding board for senior management on an ad hoc basis simply to reconcile thinking before committing to any strategic or tactical changes across the treasury function. Flexibility is one of our core strengths.

We can extend our regulatory and compliance services to go beyond treasury specific regulatory adherence and also offer services to non-treasury specific pieces of regulation and compliance.

Currency, interest rates, credit, commodities, securities, or counterparty and liquidity - risks are an implicit part of every economic activity. We are happy to support you in identifying, analysing, and evaluating them. Strategy derivation, controlling and reporting included.

Over the years of vendor implementation, independent reviews, and even in-house builds for clients it has become quite apparent as to what ‘good’ and even ‘great’ looks like in the treasury function. Best practice may not work in its entirety for some clients due to incumbent constraints, whether legacy or by design. We work in a manner that works for you and provide input and steer where required.

Capital markets and derivatives knowledge covering all primary aspects of the front office has been an area of close interest to us over the past few years. This was in part due to the inflation backdrop which saw record levels of debt issuance programmes being initiated.  We participated in the development and rollout of a number of inflation-linked capabilities for a previous client. Our roots are closely linked to the front office, particularly anything trading, pricing, or position management related. Naturally, we can collaborate with you on anything middle or back office related.  Full front-to-back architecture is always something of interest to us.

We can be deployed onsite or as a hybrid team across all project functions i.e. programme management, project leadership, business analysis, and ad hoc advisory consulting  to support your treasury development and delivery execution. This can be applied to anything from system implementation, even re-implementation (where upgrades of an existing vendor are concerned), or to function as your outsourced partner for whatever the treasury related transformation work may be.

The treasury ‘health check’ is quite often an onsite review and interrogation of the current set-up and use of treasury system/s and process, lasting days, weeks and even months subject to scale of operation and context of what needs to be assessed. The objective here being for us to help you optimise the existing set-up before any change is concluded. You decide how you wish to approach, and we can input and offer guidance on what to consider and distil any ambiguity.
