Jean-Claude Jossart (FINBRAIN-ITC): Proposing services, delivering value
Finbrain-ITC is a Belgian company with an international focus that will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025. Our core activities are oriented through interim management mandates, to support companies’ needs in their financial activities for both corporates and SMEs. Which company has not encountered an unexpected departure, a dismissal, a long-term absence due to illness or maternity leave? We come to the aid of companies in these circumstances but also to manage projects or resolve periods of crisis.
Could you introduce Finbrain-ITC in a few words?
We specialize in offering dynamic, interim management solutions to address the ever-changing needs of finance departments. Our approach is tailored to provide organizations with highly skilled professionals who can step into critical roles to drive stability, transformation, and growth. The focus is set on revenue, efficiency, governance and we remain results oriented. Our goal is to serve our clients with the highest level of quality and with a real passion for finance performances, governance and development.
How are your clients' needs evolving, and how do you adapt to them?
We are noticing today, in these troubled geopolitical times, three priority areas. The first, for our industrial clients, is to ensure medium and longer-term financing needs, the second is to predict accurate figures in terms of forecasts and the third is to perform in digitalization with an increased interest in AI. We have seen recently that the skill and capability gap is another topic to cover. Treasury, IT and Finance are still looking to acquire resources with adapted skill sets around automation, change, migration and infrastructure management.
“Eliminate the risk of growing fraud with enhanced payment security.”
What is Finbrain-ITC's vision for the next five years?
We have always expressed our vision around our quote: Experience and innovation are the drivers for growth! The next five years will focus more on digital transformation in treasury management. This shift allows companies to pick the best solutions for their needs. They will focus on real-time data, bank connections, and automating processes for better global operations. This could be summed up in one sentence: correct figures, real-time movements combined with tools to counter increasingly prevalent fraud. That said, we see that both treasury management and cash management ultimately have the same objective: to maximize the enterprise's liquidity while minimizing cost and managing risk within the overall framework of the firm's strategic plan.
