ABOUT KIMBER DAVIS

Tighter gross margins. Increasing interest rates. Changing regulations.In a transforming market, Treasury management is increasingly rising to the top as a core business function. When most people think “Treasury”, they think of cash flow management. Cash is king. A skilled Treasury professional, however, takes cash management many steps further than just monitoring bank balances. What is the ideal revenue cycle to turn sales into cash? Treasury can help with that. What can be done to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk? Treasury can help with that. What should be considered when expanding business into a new country? Treasury can help with that. Many years ago, I started my finance career as a corporate accountant. After many month-end closes and year-end audits, I made the jump to Treasury. Now, as a Corporate Treasury Manager and Certified Treasury Professional, I can confidently say, I’m a bit of a Treasury fanatic. I am fascinated by the way effective cash management can support almost all aspects of a business. And I’ve been able to put my accounting background to good use by understanding how transactions truly flow through a company’s financial statements. What are some of my favorite Treasury activities- Working with regional Treasury teams to manage global liquidity- Consolidating 200+ bank accounts’ activities onto one Treasury management platform- Transforming a P&L budget into a comprehensive balance sheet and cash flow forecast- Managing working capital by forming relationships with key balance sheet owners- Building relationships with strategic global banking partners to increase credit, lower fees, and manage different types of risk- Administering credit facility reporting and investor relations- Performing foreign currency exposure analysis and initiating my company’s first foreign currency hedging program- Staying up to date on changing interest rates and starting my company’s first interest rate hedging programMy passion for learning and all things business management has recently led me to pursue an Executive MBA at the University of Florida. Through the program, I am looking forward to growing into a more rounded business professional and expanding my leadership skills to better serve a dynamic global market.Are you also a Treasury enthusiast?
