| 16.00 - 16.45 | Business Case 2: Building a Scalable Global Treasury Where Growth, Automation, and Transfer Pricing Align (English) Presented by Kyriba High-growth technology companies often expand faster than corporate functions can mature, leaving treasury fragmented and opaque. This session presents Meltwater’s journey building a global treasury function from the ground up. The team reduced 100+ bank accounts to ~60, integrated TMS and ERP for automated cash visibility, reconciliation, and straight-through payments, and centralized FX execution. Treasury and tax partnered to simplify intercompany flows, implement transparent loan and transfer pricing, and embed governance into processes. The in-house bank enabled centralized intercompany settlement, automated accounting, and supported the transition of AP and treasury functions to a shared service center. By 2025, treasury reached a mature, scalable, and automated state, delivering a lightweight, transparent, and replicable model for global growth.
