Salary benchmarks
Our take
Corporate liquidity - the ease of selling an asset without affecting its price and a measure of a company’s short-term health - increased by $180 billion between 2022 and 2023, indicating that now more than ever, economic uncertainty requires more rigorous financial health checks. Kyriba, who developed the first-of-its-kind corporate liquidity performance report, is creating products for just that.
Kyriba’s platform provides CFOs, corporate treasurers and IT analysts with the tools to connect, protect, forecast and improve their company’s liquidity. Automation tools developed by Kyriba provide performance and operational improvements to financial self-analysis and thereby offer actionable insights into company improvement. In short, Kyriba, with its 24 years of experience, is a strong alternative to traditional bank advice for corporations seeking improvements to their financial well-being. Kyriba’s risk management, treasury management, payments and connectivity products have seen the company process $15 trillion in payments annually.
Since its founder stepped down as CEO in 2024, Kyriba has received Growth Equity VC from longtime supporters Bridgepoint, accelerating its growth at a time when companies of all sizes need to asses their liquidity regularly.
