Public preview · Planned launch January 2027Treasury InFocus is preparing to launch in January 2027, bringing practical treasury advisory, implementation leadership and fractional support to finance teams.
This website offers a preview of the practice and planned services, drawing on Cynthia MacGeagh’s experience in banking and corporate treasury. Client engagements will begin no earlier than January 1, 2027.
Planned Areas of Support
The expertise you need.
The scope your situation requires.
Start with an assessment, address a specific banking or implementation need, or establish ongoing treasury support. Services can stand alone or build on each other.
01 / ASSESS
Find the real starting point.
Treasury assessment & roadmap
Cash is difficult to see, processes have grown informally, or leadership needs a clearer view of risk and priorities.
What we examine or lead
Stakeholder interviews and process walkthroughs; cash visibility, forecasting, liquidity, collections and payments; banking and technology; fraud-prevention controls.
What you receive
A current-state summary, prioritized findings and a phased improvement roadmap.
Coverage, interviews and review rounds are agreed upfront. Extensive policy development is separately scoped.
02 / PLAN
Choose with confidence.
Banking & solution selection
You are evaluating banks, financing terms, payment services or technology—and need an informed comparison beyond the sales presentation.
What we examine or lead
Develop and manage requests for proposals, compare solutions and pricing, and support negotiations. Review provider presentations and commercial terms; cash management, cards, merchant services, letters of credit, lines of credit and term debt; fraud-prevention capabilities.
What you receive
Proposal request materials, comparative analysis and a documented recommendation supporting provider and solution selection.
The work evaluates commercial and financial fit. Implementation is separately scoped and priced.
03 / IMPLEMENT
Get the decision working.
Implementation leadership
A selected bank service or treasury platform needs coordinated execution across finance, operations, technology and providers.
What we examine or lead
Responsibilities, dependencies, milestones and rollout plans; coordination of configuration, integration, testing and conversion; training, procedures and operational handoff.
What you receive
An agreed implementation plan, progress and issue reporting, coordinated testing and rollout, and handoff documentation.
Project leadership is distinguished from technical work performed by client teams and providers. Timing reflects internal capacity and provider readiness.
04 / SUPPORT
Keep treasury moving forward.
Fractional treasury leadership
You need recurring senior treasury attention without immediately adding a full-time position—or your finance team needs support through a period of change.
What we examine or lead
Cash and liquidity reviews; bank relationships and fees; management and board reporting; fraud-prevention practices, access and approvals; follow-through on agreed initiatives.
What you receive
A defined reporting and review cadence, actionable recommendations and accountability for agreed treasury initiatives.
Availability, responsibilities, decision rights and any transaction authority are defined in advance.
A treasury peer’s perspective
“Whether evaluating banking partner strategies or navigating high-stakes RFPs, Cynthia possesses a rare ability to dissect intricate decisions, challenge assumptions constructively, and keep the broader business objectives front and center.”

Fraud prevention is part of the design.
Payment approvals, segregation of duties, bank access, vendor change verification, positive pay, ACH controls, authentication and alerts are considered where relevant to the engagement. Tools need clear ownership and operating practices to be useful.
