Treasury management
Treasury management is the discipline of managing cash, liquidity, banking, funding, payments, and financial risk for a company. For treasury management, the useful boundary is the source cash view, timing horizon, owner, liquidity exposure, and operating decision before payment timing, runway, or financing options change.
Also known as corporate treasury, cash management, treasury operations
Why it matters
Understanding treasury management matters because cash decisions are time-sensitive. Teams need to know when money moves, which balance changes, who owns the next action, and what can still be changed before liquidity tightens. Pluvo gives treasury a consolidated, source-traceable view of cash and liquidity across entities, with a bitemporal trail to support audit and reconciliation.
