Airline money does not flow like retail money. A single passenger name record spawns an e-ticket, one or more EMDs for seats and bags, card captures through multiple acquirers, BSP/ARC remittances from agencies, and later a chain of ADMs/ACMs and involuntary refunds when schedules slip. If finance treats those artifacts as mere “booking data,” cash … Read more
Universities move money on two calendars at once. The academic calendar decides when students enroll, drop, or graduate; the treasury calendar decides when invoices go out, grants land, dorm deposits are due, and banking cut-offs bite. If those calendars are wired together, admissions stops firefighting, DSO tightens, and international intake grows without turning month-end into … Read more
Games are software until money shows up. Then they become miniature economies with tax, FX, fraud rings, minors, and prize obligations that cross borders. If finance doesn’t shape those flows early—how wallets are funded, how virtual items are priced and refunded, how stores settle, how creators and players get paid—the studio ends up treating accounting … Read more
Insurance is a promise priced in advance and settled when reality intrudes. The promise only works if cash moves on unambiguous rules: premiums clear on schedule with the right taxes and exchange rates; claims land in the policyholder’s account quickly with evidence that survives a file review; reinsurance cash calls and cessions reconcile against treaties … Read more
Drug development looks like science on the surface, but the calendar that decides whether a study moves or stalls is financial. An international Phase II or III program pushes money through investigators, hospitals, CROs, central labs, couriers, depots, and thousands of trial participants—all under contracts that split currencies, slice milestones into narrow definitions, and require … Read more
SaaS cash flow is boring only when the plumbing is right. A modern stack sells seats and usage across dozens of currencies; mixes self-serve card payments with enterprise invoices; shares revenue with resellers and cloud marketplaces; and recognizes revenue against contracts that morph mid-term. If pricing, metering, tax, and collections don’t agree at the data … Read more
Food delivery is a triangle: the customer pays, the merchant earns, and the courier gets compensated—often in three different currencies and on three different clocks. If your payments layer doesn’t mirror that triangle exactly, you’ll bleed margin through refunds you can’t justify, courier payouts that bounce, and merchant statements that spark weekly arguments. Here’s how … Read more
Cross-border e-commerce is a money and metadata problem dressed up as a storefront. Conversions rise when prices feel local, disputes fall when tax and duty are predictable, and cash stabilizes when seller settlements are rules-driven instead of negotiated at month-end. The finance stack that wins in 2025 does four things well: prices in local currencies … Read more
Commodity houses don’t sell products; they arbitrate time, quality, and location under tight credit and currency constraints. A single copper lot can be financed by an LC at shipment, hedged on the LME, priced on a rolling quotational period, and finally settled after the refinery’s assay—while treasury juggles USD margin calls, CNH payables, and EUR … Read more
Healthcare revenue doesn’t travel well by default. One appointment can involve a telemedicine platform billing in EUR, a clinician licensed in the UK but treating a patient in the UAE, a diagnostics partner in India, and a payer adjudicating from the U.S.—with each party expecting different codes, currencies, rails, and proof. Finance wins when three … Read more
