Know your cash position to the second, consolidate every account, and run treasury like the pros.
Treasury is how a company holds, moves and protects its cash once there is enough of it to lose. These guides cover what the cash position really is, how much to hold and where, and when a written policy or software earns its keep.
Start with the cash position, then the policy, then where the money sits.
Treasury management software for startups, compared: Mercury, Brex, Rho, Ramp and five TMS vendors, judged as treasurers rank them: safety, liquidity, yield.
Cash flow visibility software can show nothing newer than the bank's last report. How balances age, which status to trust, and what a stale number costs.
Where to park idle startup cash: hold runway to the next milestone plus a raise, fence the surplus, then choose each home by its exit on a bad day.
Your cash position is four balances: book, ledger, available and free. Holds, cut-offs, restricted cash and covenants split them; spend only the smallest.
Treasury management governs a company's cash and financial risk. A funded startup needs it from its first round, as a board-approved investment policy.
