Widespread uncertainties surround the economic impacts of the second Trump administration, especially in regards to the potential for significant tariffs on the U.S.’s top three trading partners–Mexico, Canada, and China–as well as Europe. In response to Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on goods, both Canada and Mexico have suggested imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. One Canadian leader even floated the provocative idea of halting electricity exports to the U.S., while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum vows to coordinate, collaborate, but “never become subordinated” as Mexico prepares to negotiate tariffs affecting the 80% of its exports destined for the U.S. market. Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau’s resignation announcement earlier this year introduces an additional layer of complexity to Canada’s handling of Trump’s tariff threats.
In the face of ongoing volatility, financial leaders need effective strategies to safeguard their organizations’ fiscal health, and optimizing working capital is a key approach to counteracting the adverse effects of tariffs. By strategically managing assets and liabilities, finance experts can minimize tariff impacts, reduce costs, and maintain liquidity performance. Equipped with the five savvy working capital solutions outlined below, financial teams are well-positioned to navigate the complexities of tariff-induced challenges with confidence.
Trump’s proposed tariffs could have far-reaching effects, likely increasing the cost of goods. Businesses are expected to pass these higher costs to consumers, impacting inflation, supply chain dynamics, and market demand. Below are some top consumer goods that could become more expensive in the U.S. and globally if these tariffs are implemented.
| Automobiles | A 25% tariff on all goods crossing the border under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) would have significant repercussions for the auto industry, which is deeply integrated across the three countries. Vehicles produced under the USMCA typically cross borders an average of eight times during production, compounding the impact of tariffs at each stage and leading to increased production costs, disrupted supply chains, and higher consumer prices. In 2023 alone, the U.S. imported $44.76 billion worth of vehicles from Mexico, making it the top import. Additionally, Europe is not immune from Trump tariff troubles, as the U.S. imported $42.5 billion worth of European passenger cars in 2023. Consequently, new tariffs could lead to production cuts and mass layoffs in several countries. Adding to the complexity, numerous automakers such as General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis have relocated production to Mexico to bypass previous tariffs on Chinese goods, turning it into a significant hub for car manufacturing. Notably, electric vehicles assembled in Mexico using Chinese and Canadian components could cost more. This reliance on non-U.S. parts, which are cheaper than U.S.-made alternatives, means that the proposed tariffs could dramatically alter the cost dynamics for American automakers. |
| Gas | The proposed 25% tariff on Canadian crude oil imports could have severe economic consequences for both the U.S. and Canada. U.S. imports of Canadian crude oil reached a record 4.3 million barrels per day in July 2024, a vital supply for American refineries specifically configured to process this type of crude for gas and heating oil. The proposed tariff could increase U.S. gas prices up to $1 per gallon. For Canada, crude oil exports constitute nearly its entire trade surplus with the U.S., and rerouting this oil is not feasible due to the immovable nature of recently expanded pipelines. Both countries face limited flexibility, as Canada has few alternative export options and U.S. refineries have restricted sourcing alternatives. |
| Produce | Due to climate change affecting U.S. growing conditions, the country increasingly depends on Mexico for produce. The United States is Mexico’s largest agricultural trading partner, importing $44.87 billion in agricultural products in 2023. For example, 91% of avocados consumed in the U.S. are sourced from Mexico. But the consequences of agricultural tariffs have much broader implications than the price of avocado toast: when the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries, retaliatory measures typically target American agricultural products, which would drive up costs for domestic products as well as imports. |
| Alcohol | A 25% tariff on all goods crossing the border under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) would have significant repercussions for the auto industry, which is deeply integrated across the three countries. Vehicles produced under the USMCA typically cross borders an average of eight times during production, compounding the impact of tariffs at each stage and leading to increased production costs, disrupted supply chains, and higher consumer prices. In 2023 alone, the U.S. imported $44.76 billion worth of vehicles from Mexico, making it the top import. Additionally, Europe is not immune from Trump’s tariff troubles, as the U.S. imported $42.5 billion worth of European passenger cars in 2023. Consequently, new tariffs could lead to production cuts and mass layoffs in several countries. Adding to the complexity, numerous automakers such as General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis have relocated production to Mexico to bypass previous tariffs on Chinese goods, turning it into a significant hub for car manufacturing. Notably, electric vehicles assembled in Mexico using Chinese and Canadian components could cost more. This reliance on non-U.S. parts, which are cheaper than U.S.-made alternatives, means that the proposed tariffs could dramatically alter the cost dynamics for American automakers. |
In response to potential tariff impacts, implementing working capital solutions and reducing associated costs are crucial strategies. Tariffs can affect the cost of capital, but working capital solutions like supply chain finance, dynamic discounting, and receivables finance can help mitigate these effects. These approaches enable financial leaders to enhance cash flow, strengthen supplier relationships, and maintain sustainable growth amid economic uncertainties.
1. Supply Chain Finance (SCF) offers suppliers early payments at favorable rates based on their buyer’s credit rating. By using a third-party funder and providing payment options, supply chain finance facilitates a stable vendor base at a lower cost of capital compared to traditional methods. Supply chain finance is particularly beneficial for industries such as manufacturing, automobiles, and retail, which often have extensive and complex supply chains across multiple markets.
By insulating buyers from market volatility, supply chain finance reduces financial risks and provides the flexibility needed to adapt to changing tariff landscapes. Supply chain finance supports supply chain stability by providing suppliers with access to funding and minimizing the potential of disruptions caused by tariff-induced financial strain.
Specialized Bicycle Components and Driven Brands Inc. leverage supply chain finance (SCF) as a key working capital solution to strengthen supplier relationships and optimize liquidity performance. Supply chain finance allows these companies to offer early payment programs to their suppliers, which is beneficial in maintaining a stable supply chain. By providing early payments, they support their suppliers’ cash flow needs, ensuring these suppliers remain solvent and operational. This approach is especially critical for Specialized, as their business relies heavily on maintaining precise specifications for their bicycles, which depends on a consistent and reliable supply chain.
For Driven Brands, supply chain finance facilitates the extension of payment terms, allowing them to hold onto cash longer and use it more strategically within their operations. This financial flexibility is pivotal in managing the costs associated with their extensive network of automotive franchises. By leveraging supply chain finance, both companies can enhance their financial stability, reduce borrowing costs, and ensure seamless operations across their supply chains. This strategic use of supply chain finance not only benefits the companies by improving liquidity but also fosters stronger, mutually beneficial relationships with their suppliers, essential for long-term success.
2. Dynamic Discounting is a working capital solution that enables financial leaders to optimize liquidity and strengthen their supply chains. By offering suppliers early payment in exchange for varying discount rates, financial teams can effectively put their surplus cash to work and earn attractive returns. Dynamic discounting reduces the cost of goods sold through direct discounts from suppliers and also increases net income by improving the return on excess cash liquidity.
For cash-rich companies, dynamic discounting provides a dual benefit: it enhances profit margins by securing higher discounts and maintains liquidity by putting surplus cash to productive use. Additionally, by facilitating early payments, this solution strengthens the supply chain by improving suppliers’ working capital positions, ensuring they are paid sooner. The financial flexibility offered by dynamic discounting is particularly beneficial in buffering against increased costs, such as those imposed by tariffs, allowing financial teams to navigate economic challenges with greater resilience.
3. Receivables Finance lets financial leaders optimize cash flows by getting paid early for unpaid receivables from customers. This solution significantly enhances liquidity for the seller, providing the necessary cash flow to manage operations more effectively. By receiving payments ahead of the standard payment terms, sellers can improve their working capital position and reduce the risks associated with delayed customer payments. Receivables finance ensures that businesses maintain a steady cash flow, providing a buffer against the financial pressures brought on by tariffs and other external economic challenges.
4. Factoring is a type of receivables finance where sellers transfer the entire portfolio of outstanding accounts receivable (AR) of one or multiple customers to one or more factors. In return, the seller receives a cash advance minus interest and fees from the factors. Factoring allows financial teams to convert their receivables into immediate cash, enhancing liquidity, improving cash flow management, and helping to manage credit risk by outsourcing the management of their receivables to a specialized factor. Factoring can serve as a financial cushion, helping businesses absorb the immediate financial impact of tariffs and maintain operational resilience.
5. Hybrid Working Capital Solutions can help bolster fiscal health in the face of economic uncertainties. One hybrid solution is to combine supply chain finance and dynamic discounting, allowing financial teams to switch between using their own funds and third-party financing based on their cash position. This flexible approach is ideal for companies experiencing sales seasonality, where cash flow may vary. When excess cash is available, it can be used to pay suppliers early, securing discounts and optimizing cash flow. Conversely, when cash is constrained, financial teams can rely on third-party financing to ensure timely supplier payments. This strategy maximizes the use of cyclical excess cash, strengthens supplier relationships, and ensures a steady supply of goods.
Another hybrid approach is incorporating a factoring program with supply chain financing. A factoring program can accelerate cash in the door by up to 30 days, and a supply chain financing program can help organizations hold onto that cash for an additional 30 days.
Working capital solutions empower financial leaders to navigate economic challenges with resilience, maintaining competitiveness and efficiency despite rising trade costs. Financial teams must be well-informed and agile as they evaluate their international operations and future plans. Strategizing involves understanding specific circumstances and being prepared to adjust based on how long tariffs remain in effect. Effective working capital management ensures flexibility and responsiveness to these unpredictable changes.
The coming months will determine if Trump’s strategy is a calculated bluff or a genuine move towards economic isolationism, with significant implications for the U.S. and its key trade partners. No matter the outcome, the stakes are high for the geopolitical and economic status quo, making adaptability to emerging trade patterns vital. Implementing robust working capital strategies will significantly enhance the ability to remain resilient and thrive in this uncertain environment.

Cash flow management is critical for business success. Whether you’re a startup or an established company, implementing effective cash flow strategies can mean the difference between thriving and barely surviving in today’s competitive market.
This guide explores proven techniques to improve cash flow, recognize warning signs of cash problems, and build a stronger financial foundation for sustainable growth.
Cash flow refers to the net amount of cash moving in and out of your business over a specific period. Understanding the difference between positive and negative cash flow is essential:
Positive Cash Flow: More money coming in than going out – your business can cover expenses and invest in growth.
Negative Cash Flow: Outflows exceed inflows – putting your business at risk of financial difficulties.
Important: Cash flow isn’t the same as profit. While profit reflects earnings after expenses, cash flow measures liquidity – how much actual money you have available to operate your business.
Healthy cash flow management allows your business to:
Recognize these red flags before they become critical issues:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to implement cash flow improvement strategies immediately.
Faster collections = better cash flow. Optimize your AR with these tactics:
Invoice Immediately: Send invoices the same day you deliver goods or services. Set Clear Payment Terms: Use specific terms like “net-30” or “2/10 net-30”
Offer Early Payment Discounts: 2% discount for payments within 10 days. Implement AR Factoring: Convert receivables to immediate cash (80-95% of invoice value). Automate Follow-ups: Use software to send payment reminders automatically
While collecting payments quickly, extend your own payment deadlines when possible:
Proactive cash flow management requires regular monitoring and forecasting:
Review operating costs and eliminate waste without compromising quality:
Immediate Actions:
Ongoing Reviews:
Excess inventory ties up valuable cash. Implement these inventory optimization strategies: Just-in-Time (JIT) Ordering: Order stock as needed to minimize excess. ABC Analysis: Focus on managing high-value items more closely
Inventory Turnover Tracking: Monitor how quickly inventory sells. Seasonal Adjustments: Reduce slow-moving inventory before peak seasons
If cash flow issues stem from low profit margins, consider strategic price adjustments:
Create a financial safety net for unexpected expenses or opportunities:
Target: 3-6 months of operating expenses in reserve. Strategy: Allocate 5-10% of monthly revenue to cash reserves. Investment: Keep reserves in high-yield savings or money market accounts. Access: Ensure funds are readily available when needed
Partner with financial institutions to offer early payment options to suppliers while maintaining extended payment terms for your business.
Use excess cash strategically by taking supplier discounts when cash flow is strong and skipping them when cash is tight.
Access multiple financing options including factoring, asset-based lending, and invoice financing to optimize cash flow timing.
Track these key metrics to monitor improvement:
Operating Cash Flow Ratio: Operating cash flow ÷ Current liabilities. Cash Flow Coverage Ratio: Operating cash flow ÷ Total debt payments. Free Cash Flow: Operating cash flow – Capital expenditures Days Cash on Hand: Cash and equivalents ÷ Daily operating expenses
Mistake 1: Focusing Only on Profit
Solution: Monitor both profitability and cash flow separately – they’re different metrics
Mistake 2: Inadequate Forecasting
Solution: Create rolling 13-week cash flow forecasts updated weekly
Mistake 3: Poor Customer Credit Policies
Solution: Implement credit checks and clear payment terms from the start
Mistake 4: Seasonal Planning Failures
Solution: Plan for seasonal fluctuations and build cash reserves during peak periods
Effective cash flow management isn’t just about balancing the books – it’s about creating a solid foundation for business growth and sustainability.
Start today by:
Remember: Small improvements in cash flow timing can have dramatic impacts on your business’s financial health and growth potential.
Ready to transform your cash flow management? The combination of strategic processes, technology solutions, and proactive planning will give you the financial control needed to grow your business confidently.

From Treasury Masterminds
Based on a Treasury Masterminds webinar featuring Bojan BelejkovskI, Board Member at Treasury Masterminds, and Charles Brough, VP Global Head of Account Management at SAP Taulia. Moderated by Patrick Kunz.
Recordings on Spotify and YouTube:
Working capital is one of those topics that every company talks about, but few companies truly own.
It sounds simple enough. Improve receivables. Optimise payables. Reduce trapped cash. Create more visibility. Free up liquidity.
In practice, it is rarely that clean.
Working capital does not sit neatly inside one department. Treasury sees the cash impact, procurement negotiates supplier terms, sales agrees customer terms, finance manages the accounting, operations influences execution. Everyone touches it, yet ownership is often unclear.
That was one of the key themes in our Treasury Masterminds webinar, “Unlocking Liquidity: Flexible Working Capital Strategies”, with Bojan Belejkovski, Treasury Masterminds board member, and Charles Smith from SAP Taulia.
As Patrick said during the session:
“There is no working capital department and there will never be a working capital department. Collaboration is the key.”
That may sound obvious, but it is often exactly where working capital initiatives fail.
Treasury is usually close to the numbers. It sees the cash flow forecast, the bank balances, the liquidity gaps, the funding needs and the impact of payment behaviour.
Bojan described treasury’s role very clearly:
“Treasury owns the measurement and the consequence of working capital, even when it doesn’t own the levers themselves.”
That is the uncomfortable truth.
Treasury can see that DSO is moving in the wrong direction. It can see when supplier terms create liquidity pressure. It can see when cash is trapped in entities or countries. It can also see when the forecast does not match reality.
But treasury does not always control the decisions that create the problem.
Sales may agree to extended payment terms to close a deal. Procurement may negotiate supplier terms without considering the full cash impact. Business units may sit on cash locally. By the time treasury is involved, the decision has often already been made.
Bojan put it even sharper:
“Treasury is often the last function to find out and the first one to be asked to fix something.”
Many treasurers will recognise that sentence immediately.
Visibility Comes First
Before companies can improve working capital, they need to understand where liquidity is stuck.
Charles made that point early in the discussion:
“If you don’t have visibility, you can’t actually take any action, and you can’t improve from where you are today.”
This is where many organisations still struggle.
They may have data in ERP systems, TMS platforms, spreadsheets, bank portals and local reports. The information exists, but it is fragmented. By the time it is collected, cleaned and discussed, the opportunity may already have moved.
That lack of visibility makes it difficult to answer basic questions.
Without answers to those questions, working capital management becomes guesswork. And guesswork is not a strategy, even if someone puts it in PowerPoint.
One of the most interesting parts of the webinar was the discussion about receivables.
When asked where he would focus first, Bojan did not hesitate.
“If I can fix one tomorrow, it’s going to be receivables.”
His reason was simple. Receivables are often under-owned.
Sales is focused on revenue. Credit is focused on risk. Finance is focused on accounting. Treasury is focused on cash. All of them have a role, but that does not automatically create ownership.
Or as Bojan said:
“Everyone touches receivables. No one owns it.”
That is a big issue.
A company can have a strong sales performance and still struggle with cash collection. It can have good revenue growth while liquidity gets stuck in overdue invoices. It can have a strong pipeline, while treasury is forced to deal with the cash gap.
Receivables are also messy. Customer behaviour changes. Billing data is not always clean. Collection processes are not always consistent. Commercial teams do not always want to have uncomfortable conversations with customers.
That is why receivables deserve more attention from treasury.
Not because treasury should suddenly become the collections department, nobody needs that tragedy, but because treasury can help quantify the cash impact, highlight the risk and bring the right teams together.
Supply chain finance was another important topic in the discussion.
It is sometimes presented as a simple liquidity tool. Extend payment terms, offer suppliers early payment, unlock cash. Done.
Reality is more nuanced.
Charles explained it well:
“The primary value of supply chain finance is as a negotiation tool.”
That is an important distinction.
A good supply chain finance programme is not just about creating liquidity for the buyer. It can also support suppliers by giving them access to financing at better rates than they could achieve on their own.
For the buyer, it creates flexibility. For the supplier, it can reduce cash flow pressure. For procurement, it becomes part of the broader supplier relationship.
That also means success depends on adoption.
Charles made another practical point:
“It’s not just about the rate. The supplier experience matters just as much.”
If the programme is difficult to use, suppliers will not adopt it. If procurement is not involved, it will not scale. If treasury builds the programme in isolation, it risks becoming a nice technical solution that nobody actually uses.
Bojan was clear on this as well:
“The programs that scale are the ones where procurement and treasury are genuinely aligned on day one.”
That is probably one of the most practical lessons for any company considering supply chain finance.
Do not start with the technology.
Start with alignment.
Working capital cannot be managed properly if treasury only joins at the end of the process.
Bojan captured this perfectly:
“You can’t drive strategy from the end of the process.”
If customer terms are agreed without treasury input, the cash impact becomes treasury’s problem later. If supplier terms are negotiated without considering liquidity, treasury has to manage the consequences. If local entities hold excess cash without group visibility, treasury has to work around the structure.
The companies that do this better involve treasury earlier.
Bojan explained:
“The companies where treasury drives working capital have given treasury a seat early and with a mandate.”
That mandate matters.
Treasury should not be there just to report the outcome. It should help the business understand the cash effect of decisions before those decisions are made. This does not mean treasury needs to own sales, procurement or operations. It does mean treasury should be part of the conversation when payment terms, financing structures and liquidity trade-offs are discussed.
Naturally, AI came up during the webinar. It always does now. Mention treasury technology in 2026 and AI enters the room like it owns the building.
But the discussion was refreshingly practical.
AI is not the first step.
As Patrick said during the session:
“AI is not step one. It’s often step three or four.”
Before AI can add real value, companies need visibility, automation and clean data. If the underlying data is poor, the output will be poor as well. AI does not magically fix broken processes. It just makes bad data look more confident.
Charles described the role of technology around three themes: visibility, scalability and automation.
Automation removes manual work. It makes receivables finance more scalable. It supports reconciliation. It helps treasury teams manage more with fewer resources.
Only after that foundation is in place does AI become truly useful.
Charles summarised the right mindset clearly:
“People direct. AI executes.”
That is the point.
AI should help treasury professionals gather information faster, analyse patterns and support better decisions. It should not replace judgment.
For small treasury teams, this can be powerful. Less time spent collecting data. More time spent using it.
Towards the end of the webinar, we discussed a more provocative question.
Are working capital programmes real liquidity improvements, or are they sometimes just balance sheet cosmetics?
The honest answer is: both can happen.
Some programmes are used around reporting dates to improve metrics temporarily. That may look good on paper, but it does not necessarily improve the underlying business.
Bojan was clear about that risk:
“Cosmetics are real, but they shouldn’t be the reason why you did the program.”
A well-run working capital programme should create repeatable value. It should improve liquidity, reduce funding pressure, strengthen supplier or customer relationships and give the company more flexibility.
Charles brought the discussion back to one key metric: the internal cost of cash.
If a company understands its true cost of cash, it can make better decisions about early payment discounts, supplier financing, receivables finance and liquidity trade-offs.
That is when working capital moves from cosmetic reporting to real value creation.
Working capital is not just a treasury topic: It is a business topic.
Treasury may see the problem first, but it cannot solve it alone. The real value comes when treasury, procurement, sales, finance and operations work from the same playbook.
That requires visibility.
It requires shared ownership.
It requires technology that supports the process.
And most importantly, it requires treasury to be involved before the problem lands in the cash forecast.
Working capital is often described as hidden liquidity. That is true. But in many companies, the liquidity is not just hidden in receivables, payables or trapped cash.
It is hidden between departments.
