Approach to Assignments

• Finalysis meets with clients for initial confidential discussions, approximately one hour. (where these are available, it first reviews the Company financials)
• If that discussion of company requirements and of existing banking and treasury arrangements indicates major available benefits, Finalysis suggests following with a review proposal.
• When presenting that proposal, Finalysis discusses and agrees the areas to be reviewed, the documentation required by Finalysis, the quantum of benefits being targeted, the timeframe and the basis of fees.
• When relevant documentation has been received and reviewed, and before presenting its final report, Finalysis meets with the client to discuss any review queries emerging and to clarify any matters of concern to the client.

The Deliverables

• Following completion of its review, Finalysis presents and discusses its detailed report and recommendations. The client then takes two/three weeks to consider internally and, to confer with accountants and banks.
• The client then has an evaluation meeting with Finalysis to obtain any further advice, to confirm the practicability of all recommendations and to agree "next steps".
• Finalysis offers up to three days' support to ensure that maximum benefits are achieved, often meeting, (where invited), with the client's bank or auditors, often assisting in any bank tendering process and, on occasion, conducting in-house seminars for clients on recommended strategies.
• Finalysis also offers training to corporates on aspects of treasury, banking policy and strategic options.

Bank Refunds

• Where identified bank errors (encountered in some 25% of all reviews) are reported to the client and significant refunds are commonly made. (up to €600,000 in a single case).

Fees

• Finalysis offers alternative pricing models for its services. Finalysis is then paid one-third of the agreed fee after three weeks; the balance is paid within the following three months, as recommendations are implemented and benefits drawn down.
