Independent treasury advice from operators who have sat in the seat.
CFGI delivers strategic, hands-on treasury support to corporate and private equity clients across carve-outs, financial risk management, banking and liquidity, cash forecasting, and treasury technology. The team is former VP Treasury, controller, and Big 4 advisory talent. Independent, audit-conflict free, and built to scale up or down with the engagement.
Four shifts redefining the modern Treasury function.
Treasury sits at the center of liquidity, risk, regulation, and technology. CFOs are asking the function to do more strategic work with leaner teams, against more volatile markets and faster regulatory change.
Centralized and outsourced treasury models
Organizations are moving toward centralized Treasury models where core staff focus on strategic work and lower value tasks get outsourced. The goal is efficiency, lower cost, and stronger controls under one accountable function.
Automation and AI inside Treasury
Automation through TMS, RPA, and AI is now in reach for almost any treasury team. The question is no longer whether to automate but which decisions, forecasts, and reconciliations to put the technology against first.
Volatility in FX and interest rates
Global economic uncertainty has produced significant volatility in foreign exchange and interest rate markets, with material impact on earnings and cash flow.
Leaner teams, smarter budgets
Treasury budgets are funding analytics and automation training rather than transactional hires. CFOs want operators who can do strategy plus execution, not just process tickets.

Six pressure points landing on Treasury right now.
Cash management is decentralized and fragmented
Multiple bank accounts across regions and entities, no single source of truth on global cash position. Visibility lags, idle balances sit, and decisions get made on stale data.
The technology stack is outdated or manual
Spreadsheet-driven cash forecasting, manual bank reconciliations, no TMS in place. Reliance on outdated tools leads to inefficiencies, errors, and limited scalability.
The risk framework is thin
FX, interest rate, and credit exposures get watched but not actively managed. Without robust identification, measurement, and hedging, market volatility shows up directly in earnings and cash flow.
Treasury expertise is stretched too thin
Underdeveloped Treasury functions or one-person teams covering operational, technical, and strategic work at once. Cash flow forecasts get rushed and the function never lifts above day-to-day fires.
Regulatory and compliance load keeps growing
AML, sanctions, KYC, FBAR. Failure to comply has direct consequences, including the inability to transfer funds or make payments.
A carve-out or transaction is reshaping the function
Day 1 readiness for a spin-off, post-merger integration, or IPO puts Treasury on a tight clock. Banking structure, KYC, intercompany flows, and interim management all need to be in place before close.
Structured assessment, named deliverables, KPI tracking.
