For treasurers who feel stuck choosing between outdated systems and costly legacy providers, this episode is about a new path forward. In the first episode of our new mini-series, Treasury Legends, Trovata Founder & CEO Brett Turner sits down with Alf Newlin, Former Co-Founder of Financial Sciences and Trovata’s Managing Director, TMS, and Paul Bramwell, Trovata’s Head of Enterprise Treasury. Together, they unpack the journey that led to Trovata’s acquisition of Financial Sciences and what it means for today’s treasury leaders.
