High Finance & Advisory — cross-border capital, treasury, and transactions
SJC advises boards, sovereigns, and Fortune-level leadership on complex financial decisions across jurisdictions. We unite treasury operations, capital markets, FX/liquidity, and transaction execution into one operating program with governance, compliance, and board-ready reporting. Our remit: unlock capital efficiently, reduce cost of funds, and de-risk execution.
Cross-Border Flows & FX Architecture
Design of multi-jurisdiction settlement and FX policy that aligns risk appetite with operating realities. We combine banking rails (SWIFT, RTP, SEPA, local ACH) with API-led treasury workflows and clear counterparty rules of engagement.
- Payment corridors, currency policy & natural hedges
- Centralization vs. in-market execution; interco frameworks
- Bank selection, fee benchmarking, and SLA governance
Treasury & Liquidity Optimization
Modernize treasury to improve visibility, yield, and control. We deploy working-capital levers and automate cash positioning while tightening compliance and auditability.
- Cash pooling, in-house bank, and virtual accounts
- Yield strategy across MMFs/term within policy constraints
- Working-capital unlocks (DSO/DPO/DIO) and vendor terms
Capital Markets & Structured Solutions
Independent advisory on capital structure moves and strategic financings. We create competitive tension, align disclosure to investor priorities, and manage execution risk across legal and banking stakeholders.
- Refinancing & liability management; green & sustainability-linked instruments
- Acquisition finance & bridge-to-term strategies
- Rating agency narrative and investor engagement
M&A Readiness & Post-Close Integration
From diligence to Day-1 to synergy capture, we ensure finance, operations, and technology can absorb change without disrupting revenue or control.
- Red/Amber/Green diligence on finance ops & systems
- Integration PMO, TSA exit, and synergy tracking
- Board cadence: KPI/ROI dashboards and risk heatmaps
Risk, Compliance & Governance
We align policy, control, and reporting with the regulatory perimeter in each market. Audit-ready documentation and a defensible, repeatable model for boards and external stakeholders.
- Sanctions, KYC/AML, and cross-border documentation
- Counterparty risk & concentration limits
- SOX/ICFR alignment; treasury & payments controls
Operating Model & Execution
Clear ownership between Finance, Treasury, Legal, and IT. We establish an execution rhythm that drives decisions, removes roadblocks, and converts plan into P&L impact.
- RACI, decision rights, and escalation pathways
- Vendor-neutral selection and contract negotiation
- Run-rate tracking & value-capture governance (12–18 months)
