Eight Advisory strengthens its cash management expertise with the addition of market risk management

Eight Advisory, a leading independent consulting firm specialising in Transactions, Restructuring and Transformation, is pursuing the development of its cash management services within its Transformation Finance practice. Eight Advisory is already active throughout the entire treasury value creation chain and will now also provide market risk management services. 

The Transformation Finance teams support finance departments with all treasury-related issues. Eight Advisory has a strong track record in the implementation of dedicated treasury organisations (team, system, cash flow, 13-week forecasts, etc.), the optimisation of the WCR, sourcing of short-term financing and improved efficiency in cash flow management. 

With the arrival of Tristan Fresson as Director, Eight Advisory will also focus on market risk management. The economic and financial challenges posed by fluctuating exchange rates, the impact of rising interest rates and rising energy prices are now major issues for companies. It is therefore vital to understand market mechanisms, measure the impact on companies’ liquidity and managing these risks. 

Tristan has more than 20 years of experience in consulting and market risk management (fixed income, foreign exchange, commodities, counterparty risk, etc.). Tristan worked for 8 years in the Treasury Advisory department of a BIG4 firm, where he performed expert assignments on market risk hedging both as a consultant and auditor. Prior to that, Tristan worked on the implementation of cash flow forecasting models in the media sector and was responsible for the financial risk management and financing of a retail group for three years. 

Stéphane Nénez, Partner and Head of Finance Transformation service line and Cash Services at Eight Advisory comments: “Our team of treasurers already offered a broad range of expertise in operational consulting in the area of corporate cash management. We are delighted to welcome Tristan and will continue to further develop our capabilities to meet our clients’ needs. 

Eric Demuyt, Partner and Managing Director of Eight Advisory, comments: “This new area of expertise strengthens our ability to provide support to CFOs on cash management issues. We now provide assistance throughout the entire cash value creation process. It will also enable us to pay even closer attention to the impact of market risks in our transaction, restructuring and transformation projects.
