Key Topics covered

Why successful treasury-to-ERP automation depends on engaging treasury, accounting, and IT teams from the earliest planning stages.

Critical factors to evaluate before automating treasury accounting processes, from mapping existing workflows to choosing the right technology.

The most frequent obstacles in treasury-ERP integration, and practical strategies to resolve them, drawn from Marie and Justin's hands-on experience.

How well-designed automation reduces manual errors, speeds up close processes, and improves the quality of financial data for management.

Why this matters

Treasury and ERP systems rarely speak the same language, and the gap between them is where errors, delays, and reconciliation headaches tend to live. As more finance functions move toward automation, getting the integration right the first time isn’t just a technical exercise, it’s a strategic decision that affects accuracy, audit readiness, and the day-to-day workload of finance teams.

This episode matters because Marie and Justin don’t just talk about the benefits of automation in the abstract. They speak from direct experience implementing it, including the parts that don’t go smoothly. For any organisation considering a similar move, understanding the real-world challenges before they arise, rather than discovering them mid-project, can save significant time, cost, and frustration. It’s a candid look at what it actually takes
