Debt Management in SMBs:
Static Spreadsheets vs TreasuryView

Spreatsheets are powerful.

But having just static information is’nt enough. 

With spreadsheets you can only expect the expected.

The future requires new capabilites around “expect the unexpected”. CFOs face an financial markets environment that is becoming increasingly uncertain and complex. Changing market situations require timely risk visibility, reporting capabilities to understand which decision-paths need to be supported, and data based evidence leading to suitable risk responses.

With minimum time and mistakes. And before markets move. 

Use technology to steer the business and finance.

Static Excel Spreadsheet Debt Overview

Spreadsheets are powerful, but are they enough for SMB treasurer ?

 >80% of finance and treasury teams in SMBs still use static Spreadsheets to manage their debt portfolios and hedging programs.

Considering the turbulence in financial markets and the changes in interest rates, it is quite a challenge. Spreadsheets are powerful and you can achieve a lot with them. But are they enough for your professional debt portfolio management? 

As a treasurer or CFO office team member, we know you are familiar with the limitations spreadsheets have. But have you ever thought that there must be easy to use, effective and affordable way to stay ahead with the markets? 

 

Top 3 Challenges using Spreadsheets for the debt management

1. Time and effort you put into static Spreadsheets:

Spreadsheets are static, manual and time-consuming with limited scalability. 

It takes forever to have effective debt management and since the interest rate risk is significant, the data comes outdated overnight. You just waste time, money and talent over fixes. 

2. Financial impact due to
lack of risk visiblity:

Spreadsheets fail to record reliably transactions, track and interpret change.

 

“Always off” exposure and market data prevent timely strategy or risk response

3. Human errors and
people leaving:

Risk visibility is compromised by #REF errors, knowledge gaps, and judgment mistakes.

Feeling proud of new macros and custom scripts that eliminate repetitive work? The harsh reality is, once your spreadsheet expert leaves the team, you’re back to square one.
