When institutions call us

- Funds move through several banks and processors, and reconciling them takes days.
- The company wants to pay or be paid in stablecoins.
What we do
Treasury policy
What you hold, why, within what limits, and who approves changes.
Liquidity and settlement
How funds and assets move between banks, processors and counterparties, and how much liquidity each step needs.
Custody and control design
Who can move what, with which approvals, and how duties are separated.
Accounting and reporting
Treatment, reconciliation, month-end routines, committee reporting and the support your auditors need.
Stablecoin and payment operations
Settlement workflows, counterparties and liquidity for companies that pay or get paid in stablecoins.
Counterparty assessment
A structured review of banks, processors, custodians, exchanges and payment partners against criteria you approve.

Sample structure
Digital asset treasury policy
Policy approved by the board or investment committee.
Outline only. Not client work.
A policy your auditors and banking partners will recognize.
A treasury policy turns informal holdings into a managed exposure. It says what you hold and why, who can move it, and how it is valued and reported. Our outline is set out in full in a recent perspective.
Boundaries
We design policy, controls and reporting. We do not tell you what to buy, and we do not give tax advice. We work alongside your tax and legal advisers.
Perspectives
What a digital asset treasury policy should cover
An eight-section outline for a policy that governs how an organization holds, moves and reports digital assets.

A summary of the federal framework for stablecoin issuers, and the questions it raises for institutions that distribute, accept or hold stablecoins.
ReadQuestions
Do you manage the assets?
No. We never take custody of assets. We design the framework and help your team run it.
Do you help with audits?
Yes. We prepare the reconciliations and documentation that auditors ask for, and we work with your audit firm.
Is this only for companies that hold digital assets?
No. The same work applies to any fintech or institution that moves money through banks, processors and partners. Digital assets are one part of it.
