Bastion helps commercial and mid-market companies bring structure, transparency, and control to FX exposure, cash visibility, payment processes, multi-entity workflows, reporting, and currency decisions.
We support CFOs, controllers, owner-operators, and finance teams carrying treasury responsibilities before the business is ready to hire a full treasury department.
As companies grow, treasury responsibilities often land inside accounting, finance, or the owner’s office. Cash forecasts need updates. Supplier payments need approvals. FX exposure needs measurement. Bank and broker pricing needs review. Hedge decisions need policy and documentation.
For multi-entity businesses, the work becomes even harder. Entity-level balances, intercompany receivables, internal funding, local reserves, settlement timing, and netting routines can sit in separate spreadsheets with no clear operating owner.
Bastion helps finance teams organize that work into a practical treasury process the team can actually run.
Companies usually call Bastion when treasury work has become too important to leave inside scattered spreadsheets, rushed payment decisions, opaque FX pricing, or informal approval habits.

Monthly review routines, decision rules, dashboards, and support.
Bastion works with companies where finance owns currency exposure, payments, cash visibility, intercompany flows, and management reporting, even if treasury is not yet a dedicated department.
Supplier payments, inventory costs, and margin risk depend on foreign currency.

Bastion helps finance teams diagnose current gaps, prioritize what matters, build usable process, and support ongoing treasury decisions.
Review cash visibility, FX exposure, payment workflows, pricing, approvals, reporting, policy, spreadsheets, systems, and multi-entity complexity.
Identify urgent control gaps, measurable FX costs, intercompany friction, decision bottlenecks, and longer-term automation opportunities.
Set practical routines, templates, approval paths, reporting, escalation points, and decision rules finance teams can actually run.
Provide advisory, FX decision context, TCA follow-up, policy support, reporting improvement, and client-only intelligence tools.
The outcome is a finance-owned treasury rhythm: clearer ownership, better evidence, less reactive FX, stronger payment controls, and a practical roadmap for what to improve next.
The Free Treasury Audit is a practical first review of the cash, FX, payment, reporting, policy, multi-entity, and workflow issues that often appear before companies hire dedicated treasury staff.
