We regard treasury as an integral part of corporate strategy. Through bespoke approaches and innovative concepts, we help our clients achieve their treasury management objectives: from the IT-supported optimisation and further development of treasury processes, through ensuring transparent and efficient risk management and the design of internal and external reporting (including hedge accounting), to the strategic planning of financing measures.
In addition, we offer professional benchmarking services, as well as the assessment and certification of regulatory compliance (including EMIR, amongst others).

As part of our debt advisory services, we assist companies of various sizes with new or follow-on financing, as well as with optimising their financing structure and improving their creditworthiness. The aim is to develop a bespoke strategy in each case to enhance financial stability and flexibility, thereby paving the way for further growth and an increase in the company’s value.

In the field of cash management, we offer companies bespoke solutions to minimise liquidity risk and manage their financial resources efficiently. Working closely with our clients, we develop strategies tailored to their specific requirements and market conditions. We also provide support and advice on implementing a cash pooling system, highlighting both the opportunities and the pitfalls.

Our risk management advisory approach focuses primarily on the management of interest rate, currency and commodity risks, particularly in the context of current geopolitical developments. With the help of our first-class valuation infrastructure, we are able to apply the expertise we have gained through our audit and advisory work with banks and corporates (including artificial intelligence methods) to identify exposures and to account for and value all types of financial instruments, in line with each client’s specific requirements.
