Working Capital Management

Working capital management refers to the management of a company’s short-term assets and liabilities to ensure that it operates efficiently and maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its operational needs. It involves balancing the company’s current assets, such as cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, with its current liabilities, including accounts payable and short-term debts.

Most organisations especially the mid-market ones find it hard to optimise working capital. Proper working capital management is crucial for maintaining a healthy financial position and sustaining business operations.

Inadequate working capital can lead to liquidity issues, missed opportunities, and even bankruptcy, while excess working capital can signify inefficient use of resources that could be invested more effectively elsewhere.

Effective working capital management ensures that a company can cover its short-term obligations, manage its cash flow, and have the resources necessary to continue operating and growing.

We work with our clients to implement lasting improvements in their working capital management. Our team focuses on enhancing financial resilience by refining working capital practices through meticulous planning and process optimization. Our comprehensive suite of services covers monitoring and managing the entire spectrum from order to cash to procure-to-pay, exploring and effectively managing all opportunities for optimizing the working capital cycle.
