* Cash Flow Management: Coordinate with regional finance teams to tag flows by currency and source; partner with AR on DSO reality vs terms, AP on run-rates and payment calendars, and highlight FX timing/translation impacts and local constraints.
* Minimum Cash & Liquidity Strategies: Track entity-level minimum cash; flag trapped cash and propose remedies.
* Cadence and Partnership: Run an ongoing cadence with Controllers, AP/AR, and Collections; align with Treasury Systems/Analytics on fixes and enhancements.
