Summary

Investment Feature Preview

  • New forecast overview page design shown to Tom with split cash/investments display in KPI cards
  • Chart shows total balance breakdown between cash vs investments
  • Forward-looking view helps determine investment duration strategy
  • Tom wants investment type breakdown in header (money market funds vs term deposits)
  • Maturity profile visibility critical for liquidity planning
  • Investment detail views requested: summary with bank, rate, maturity, currency; document attachment capability; liquidity tagging
  • Scenario planning potential: monthly investment allocation planning, integration with cash position sheets

Bank Connectivity Strategy

  • Current integration gaps: HSBC and Workday feeding automatically; several manual accounts (Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, BlackRock, Citibank)
  • Short-term priorities:
  • BlackRock automation via trade confirmations (highest priority) — Tom to send examples
  • JPMorgan integration progressing (expected March)
  • Citibank integration feasible through existing email reports
  • Account rationalization: Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse have minimal activity, may eliminate

Payroll Forecasting Issues

  • Weekly payroll forecasts showing inconsistent patterns vs actual monthly large payments
  • Forecast values (3-4M) significantly lower than actuals (8-9M)
  • Likely cause: historical categorization errors affecting forecast model
  • UK payroll working correctly

Cash Sweep Implementation

  • Critical need: mirror customer collections from account 575 to operational account 7743
  • 5-6M expected inflows not reflected in main account forecasting
  • Top priority for Tom to switch from manual files to Palm

Intercompany & Supplier Forecasting

  • 300K weekly IC payments forecasted vs actual monthly timing
  • Similar timing issues with supplier forecasts
  • Preference: fix categorization/timing over manual uploads

Next Steps

  • Giannis: Work with engineering on BlackRock trade confirmation automation
  • Tom: Send trade confirmation examples, provide 2026 treasury goals
  • Giannis: Set up marketing call with Maria for Personio case study
  • Team: Address forecast timing issues for payroll, IC, and supplier categories
