What Is Treasury Management?

The Corporate Finance Institute provides a great, easy-to-understand definition of treasury management (also sometimes known as cash management):

“[Treasury management] is the process that involves collecting and managing cash flows from the operating, investing, and financing activities of a company. In business, it is a key aspect of an organization’s financial stability.”

With all the responsibilities that come with owning and operating a business, managing financial assets may not come easily to the business owner, depending on their background. Even if they are comfortable in the financial space, business owners often face fast-pace changes in regulation, technology, cybersecurity, and more. This means it can be hard to stay on top of everything.

But efficiently managing your finances is a non-negotiable for a healthy business. For that reason, it’s often advisable for business owners to utilize treasury management services from a trusted financial entity.
