About this Episode
In this eighth episode of FTI Treasury Talks: Conversations with the Experts, titled “The Power of Treasury Outsourcing: Real-World Benefits for Treasury Teams”, we explore one of the most transformative trends in the treasury landscape: treasury outsourcing. Marie Clark, Head of Finance at FTI Treasury, sits down with Justin Callahan, CEO of FTI Treasury, to discuss how treasury outsourcing is helping companies optimize operational performance, access specialist expertise, and scale with agility. What was once a model for fully outsourcing entire treasury departments has evolved. Today, businesses are selectively outsourcing specific processes—such as cash management, FX risk, and forecasting—while retaining strategic control in-house. This hybrid approach enables organizations to focus on high-value decision-making while reducing administrative burdens. Justin shares practical insights from FTI Treasury’s 30+ years of experience delivering outsourced solutions for corporates across industries and jurisdictions.
The conversation highlights:
- What treasury outsourcing really means in 2025
- How it can reduce costs, enhance continuity, and accelerate implementation
- What functions are best suited for outsourcing
- How to build a business case and gain stakeholder support
- Why seamless integration and a true partnership model are essential to success

Why this matters
As treasury functions face mounting pressure from volatile markets, tighter regulation, and constrained internal resources, the ability to operate efficiently without expanding headcount has become a strategic priority. Treasury outsourcing addresses this directly, giving organisations access to specialist capability and proven infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of building it in-house.
The shift towards a selective, hybrid model matters because it changes what outsourcing can achieve. Rather than surrendering control, organisations can delegate the routine, resource-intensive processes that consume disproportionate time and attention, while keeping strategic oversight firmly internal. This balance allows treasury teams to focus on the decisions that drive value: managing risk, supporting growth, and informing wider business strategy.
For finance leaders, the implications extend beyond day-to-day efficiency. A well-structured outsourcing arrangement strengthens operational continuity, reduces key-person risk, and provides the flexibility to scale as the business evolves. In an environment where treasury is increasingly expected to do more with less, outsourcing offers a practical route to greater resilience, sharper focus, and long-term competitive advantage.
