About Us

Built by Treasury Experts. Backed by Global Experience.

Straitsberg was founded with a clear vision: to fill a critical gap in the global market for independent, corporate-focused treasury advisory.

While global businesses have rapidly matured, the availability of specialist treasury and cash management consulting has lagged behind. Traditional consulting firms offer broad financial services, but few bring deep, focused expertise in treasury—and even fewer operate without influence from banks or vendors.

Recognising this need, a team of seasoned treasury professionals and finance strategists came together in Singapore to build something new: a boutique advisory firm dedicated exclusively to helping corporates transform their treasury functions.

From banking relationship optimization to liquidity design and RFP management, Straitsberg offers end-to-end advisory that is objective, data-driven, and built on real-world treasury experience.

Our Mission

To empower CFOs and treasury leaders with independent, high-impact advisory that optimises liquidity, enhances control, and drives strategic value.

Our Vision

To be the world’s most trusted partner in treasury transformation—redefining how corporates manage cash, risk, and banking across borders in a fast-changing world.

Now, as the founder of Straitsberg, he leverages his institutional experience to offer independent, client-first advice to organizations looking to modernize their treasury operations, enhance liquidity management, and strengthen their financial infrastructure.
