Pegasus Insights Treasury Platform Enhances Cash Management

Introduction: TMANY’s Treasury Tank – Showcasing Treasury Innovation

In the world of corporate treasury, staying ahead of technology is key – and TMANY’s Treasury Tank is where the cutting-edge is on full display. Hosted at the New York Cash Exchange conference by the Treasury Management Association of New York (TMANY), “Treasury Tank” is a Shark Tank-style showcase of innovative treasury solutions. Fintech startups and forward-thinking vendors compete for the spotlight, pitching tools that promise to transform how finance teams manage cash and liquidity. A panel of judges evaluates these trailblazing technologies to crown a winner, but even being selected to present is an achievement. It means an offering has been recognized among a select group of innovators poised to transform treasury and cash management[1].

This year, one of those standout innovators is our very own Pegasus Insights – a next-generation treasury platform that earned a coveted spot at Treasury Tank 2025. In this blog post, we’ll explore why Pegasus Insights was chosen and how it addresses the real-world pain points that treasury professionals in private equity-backed and mid-market companies know all too well. (And yes, we’ll include a few dashboard visuals for good measure!)

The Pain Points Treasury Teams Face in Mid-Market Companies

If you’re a treasury professional at a mid-market or PE-backed firm, some of these struggles may sound familiar:

Spreadsheet Overload and Manual Work: Treasury teams often rely on large, complex Excel files for cash tracking and forecasting. In fact, over one-third of treasurers still primarily use Excel instead of a dedicated treasury system[2]. This manual approach is time-consuming and prone to error. One industry survey estimated that treasury teams waste about 4,800 hours per year – roughly two full-time employees – on maintaining spreadsheets and gathering data[3]. That’s an enormous hidden cost, and it leaves staff scrambling to update numbers rather than analyzing them.
Delayed Reporting & Limited Cash Visibility: Because so many processes are manual, reporting is often a step behind reality. Many finance teams only get a full picture of cash a few days after period close, and any ad-hoc update means more data gathering. It’s no surprise that 62% of treasury professionals cite cash and liquidity forecasting as their most challenging task[4], and 57% say automating manual processes is a top challenge[5]. Simply put, real-time cash visibility is lacking. In Deloitte’s 2024 Global Treasury Survey, nearly every respondent said “enhancing visibility and reporting” was a top reason they’re looking to upgrade their tech stack[6]. Visibility isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s fundamental for confident decision-making, yet today visibility into global cash remains one of the most time-consuming pain points for treasurers[7].
Fragmented Data Across Banks and Systems: Mid-sized companies tend to have multiple banking relationships and accounts across various entities. (You might be nodding if you start each morning logging into five different bank portals.) In one 2025 survey, 50% of mid-market businesses said they work with three or more banks, and 68% are using more banks than just a few years ago[8]. Additionally, data lives in silos – your ERP holds A/R and A/P info, banks hold balance info, and Excel holds the forecast. It’s a headache to consolidate, leading to version-control nightmares and “which number is right?” debates.
Difficulty Responding in Real Time: Perhaps the toughest consequence of the above issues is an inability to answer urgent questions on the fly. This is especially acute in private equity-backed companies, where the finance team operates under intense scrutiny. PE owners typically require detailed monthly financials, weekly cash flow KPIs, and frequent ad-hoc updates[9], often with last-minute requests for data in various formats[10]. If an investor calls today asking “what’s our cash runway if sales drop 10% next quarter?”, many teams would panic – compiling that answer could take days of manual work. The lack of real-time, readily accessible information means CFOs are often stuck reacting slowly, which can erode confidence with boards and investors.

These pain points add up to a frustrating reality: treasury teams spend more time collecting data than advising on it. Surveys show over half of mid-sized companies still manually gather and consolidate forecasting data[11], contributing to delays and low satisfaction in the forecasting process. The good news? The industry recognizes these problems, and solutions are emerging to tackle them. Enter Pegasus Insights.

Pegasus Insights: Purpose-Built for Finance Teams Under Pressure

Pegasus Insights wasn’t born in a Silicon Valley vacuum – it was created by seasoned financial consultants who had lived this problem firsthand. The founders spent years building cash flow models and reports for private equity portfolio companies and mid-market firms[12]. They kept seeing the “real, daily pain points” we just described: manual reporting, fragmented data, slow decision cycles[13]. Traditional tools either offered limited help (think basic bank portals or rigid ERP modules) or were overkill – legacy treasury systems meant for Fortune 500 giants, often requiring long implementations and heavy IT support[14].

So, the Pegasus team set out to build exactly what their clients needed: a modern cash and liquidity management platform for mid-market finance teams[15]. Pegasus Insights connects directly to your banks and ERPs, consolidating data into one system that updates daily[16]. It’s designed to give CFOs and treasury teams real-time cash visibility, automated forecasting, and actionable working capital insights – without the usual months-long software rollout or rigid workflows of old-school FP&A tools[17]. Pegasus is laser-focused on the needs of private equity-backed companies, where time is of the essence and the stakes (and scrutiny) are high.

Notably, Pegasus emphasizes a quick “white-glove” onboarding and rapid time-to-value[18]. In other words, their team helps integrate your bank feeds and data quickly, so you’re up and running in weeks, not quarters. And the platform is built for finance users – an intuitive experience for CFOs and analysts, not just IT techies[18]. According to early customers, this approach is paying off: teams using Pegasus have slashed 50–70% of the time spent on weekly liquidity reports, and they’re far more responsive to investor and board inquiries as a result[19]. That kind of impact is a game-changer for a lean treasury team.

So what exactly does Pegasus Insights bring to the table? Let’s look at some of its innovative features and how they solve the pain points we outlined.

How Pegasus Solves Key Treasury Challenges

Pegasus Insights offers a suite of features tailored to eliminate spreadsheet grind and empower real-time decision making. Here are the highlights:

Real-Time Cash Visibility Dashboards: Pegasus automatically consolidates balances across all your bank accounts and entities into a single dashboard[20]. Instead of manually logging into multiple portals, you can see today’s cash position at a glance, across the whole organization. This real-time liquidity view means no more relying on yesterday’s figures or waiting until month-end to know where you stand. For a mid-market CFO juggling dozens of accounts, that unified visibility is like finally having one source of truth for cash.
Scenario Modeling with Automated Forecasting: The platform includes a robust 13-week cash flow forecasting tool, which you can easily customize by business unit, scenario, or customer group[21]. This means you can run what-if scenarios on the fly – for example, model the impact of losing a big customer, or delaying payables, and instantly see how your cash runway changes. Pegasus’s engine (enhanced with a bit of AI) updates forecasts daily with actuals, so your projection is always current. It essentially replaces clunky, error-prone spreadsheet models with a real-time insights engine[22]. You get the nuance and flexibility of Excel-style modeling, without the manual data gathering. Imagine answering an investor’s “what if?” question in minutes instead of days.
Automated Reporting and Alerts: Say goodbye to the weekly ritual of copying data into slide decks. Pegasus automates routine treasury reports – from daily cash position summaries to weekly liquidity updates and covenant tracking. Reports that used to take hours of Excel work are generated with one click (or on a schedule). Early adopters report cutting their report prep time by more than half[19]. Moreover, the platform can send alerts when certain thresholds hit (e.g. if cash at a particular bank drops below a set level) so you’re not caught off guard. All of this reduces the lag between data and decision. Real-time visibility isn’t just on-screen; it flows into timely, polished reports for management and board packs automatically.
Seamless ERP and Excel Integration: Treasury teams don’t operate in a vacuum – Pegasus was built to plug into your existing workflows. It connects directly with common ERPs (so it can pull in A/R, A/P, and GL data) and also offers Excel integration[22]. For example, if you have an existing Excel model or report format you love, Pegasus can feed it fresh data (no more copy-paste mania). This means you don’t have to abandon Excel overnight – Pegasus augments it. You get the benefits of automation and centralization, with the flexibility to do ad-hoc analysis in spreadsheets when needed. The integration ensures that whether you’re in Pegasus’s web dashboard or an Excel sheet, you’re looking at the same up-to-date numbers.
Rapid Implementation and White-Glove Support: One of Pegasus’s bragging points is how quickly a mid-market company can go live. With white-glove onboarding, their team handles the heavy lifting of setting up bank connections (often via modern APIs) and migrating your spreadsheet logic into the system[22]. There are no “bloated implementation cycles” that take a year – Pegasus aims to have teams transacting in weeks[22]. This is crucial for private equity timelines, where a new CFO might have only 90 days to tighten up reporting. The platform’s user-friendly design also means training is minimal; if you know Excel, you can navigate Pegasus. Rapid deployment + ease of use = value creation right away, which is exactly what busy finance teams need.
Working Capital & Collections Tools: Beyond just passive reporting, Pegasus helps improve your cash flow. For instance, it has a built-in collections tracker (“Pegasus Collect”) that monitors overdue receivables and can prompt follow-ups[23] – helping reduce DSO (days sales outstanding) by making sure cash comes in faster. It also highlights working capital levers like inventory or payables optimizations, showing actionable insights to free up cash without resorting to external financing[23]. This is a more proactive approach: not only do you see your cash, but you get ideas to maximize it. In a PE-owned company, where every dollar of working capital is scrutinized, these tools equip CFOs with credible plans to improve liquidity (not just monitor it).

It’s often easier to see these features in action. For example, below is a snapshot of Pegasus’s cash forecasting dashboard, which gives a week-by-week view of cash inflows and outflows:

Pegasus Insights’ Cash Forecasting dashboard provides an intuitive week-by-week view of cash flows, comparing projected vs. actual figures. Finance teams can adjust assumptions (like collections or expenditures) and immediately see the impact on future liquidity.

From Reactive to Proactive: Pegasus in Action

It’s worth painting a picture of how Pegasus can change a treasury team’s day-to-day life. Imagine you’re the Treasurer at a private equity-backed manufacturing company. It’s Wednesday afternoon, and you get an urgent email from your CEO: the PE sponsor wants an update today on how a potential raw material price increase will affect the company’s cash over the next 3 months. In the old world, you’d probably gulp and start pulling up spreadsheets – aggregating bank balances, tweaking your cash forecast Excel model (hope it’s up to date!), emailing operations for any updated figures, and so on. It might take all night to cobble together an answer, and you’d still caveat it with “as of last week’s data…”. In other words, a reactive fire drill.

Now picture the same scenario with Pegasus Insights at your fingertips. You log into the Pegasus platform and see your consolidated cash position as of this morning. You open the forecasting module and create a new scenario, call it “Price +10%”. You adjust the relevant cash outflow assumptions (perhaps raw material costs in the forecast go up accordingly). The system instantly updates the 13-week cash projection – showing maybe a dip in end-of-quarter cash if no other action is taken. You notice working capital suggestions pop up (e.g., “reducing inventory by X% could offset this impact”). In less than 30 minutes, you’ve got concrete answers and a scenario plan to discuss with your CEO and investors. You might even export a quick PDF report or share a live dashboard link with them. No all-nighter, no scrambling. Instead of reacting nervously, you’re responding with data-driven confidence.

This shift from reactive to proactive is what Pegasus enables. One early user reported that their team now spends 70% less time assembling weekly liquidity reports and far more time on analysis and strategy[19]. When the board asks a question, they can answer faster and more credibly. Treasury becomes a source of insight rather than just a reporting function. For a PE-backed CFO looking to impress investors, that’s a huge win. It builds trust when you can consistently say, “Here’s what our cash looks like right now, and here’s what we’re doing about it,” without delays or excuses.

Pegasus addresses that need head-on.

Treasury Tank also underscores that Pegasus isn’t just another incremental improvement, but a leap forward. “Treasury Tank is about surfacing tools that drive real impact, and that’s exactly what we set out to build,” Garthwaite noted[24]. The event’s recognition signals that Pegasus has proven it can drive real impact – reducing reporting cycles, improving cash forecasts, and empowering teams to act fast when it counts.
