Bank and Treasury Efficiency Review

We also offer businesses an in-depth independent Bank and Treasury Review. The aim is to make bank and treasury relationships more efficient resulting in reduced costs and/or increased income.

It is an in-depth review of a business’s banking costs, structure and arrangements. It is based on a twelve month analysis of your bank balances and transactions. The objective is to enhance efficiency and identify areas for cost savings resulting in increased profitability. It is an area where most financial controllers and directors simply do not have the time available to review in such detail. The Review does not just focus on lending margins but is all-embracing from an analysis of payment methods to bench marking of margins applied to foreign exchange transactions. Our treasury experience and knowledge has benefited many businesses since 2000. The savings have been significant in most cases
