FTI Treasury Talks Podcast| Episode 12: Intercompany Netting, Cutting Costs, Unlocking Liquidity and Streamlining Treasury
About this Episode
In this episode of FTI Treasury Talks: Conversations with the Experts, we take a close look at intercompany netting, one of the most impactful yet underutilised tools available to treasury teams in multinational organisations.
Justin Callaghan, CEO of FTI Treasury, is joined by Shane O’Keeffe, Head of Innovation and a subject-matter expert in intercompany netting, who brings extensive hands-on experience implementing and managing netting processes for a wide range of multinational and financial services clients. Together, they explore how a well-structured netting process can eliminate up to 70-80% of internal wire transfers, and why the cost savings are only the starting point of a much broader treasury opportunity.
The conversation walks through the mechanics of a typical netting cycle, the practicalities of implementation and ERP connectivity, and the less obvious ways in which treasurers can leverage netting once the process is in place. This session is particularly relevant for professionals involved in treasury and cash management, intercompany accounting and shared services, financial operations and ERP management, and CFO and finance leadership teams.

Key Topics covered
Who should listen
This episode is aimed at treasury and cash management professionals who want to reduce transaction costs, release trapped liquidity and bring greater structure to intercompany settlement. It will be especially useful for those working in intercompany accounting and shared services, where clearing down invoices between subsidiaries is a recurring challenge, and for finance operations and ERP teams weighing up the practicalities of integration and onboarding. CFOs and finance leaders will find value in understanding how netting delivers annual savings of between $3 million and $10 million while strengthening FX exposure management, forecasting and cash flow visibility. Whether your organisation is considering netting for the first time or looking to extend an existing process to treasury activity, intercompany loan interest or external vendors, this conversation offers a clear and practical starting point.
