North Coast Holdings Case Study
How North Coast Holdings Transformed Their Cash Forecasting, Liquidity, and Investment Operations from the Ground Up
In an increasingly data-centric and technology-driven financial landscape, North Coast Holdings (NCH) — an employee-owned holding company that manages back-office operations for Lewis Tree Services and several other niche organizations — has redefined what it means to operate a forward-looking treasury function.
Overseeing a diverse portfolio of operating companies across sectors that include manufacturing, construction services, and infrastructure, NCH has spent the last few years developing an automated and efficient treasury framework to support long-term financial strategy.
Under the leadership of Jeanine Mallow, a highly-qualified treasury veteran with 25+ years of industry experience, NCH’s small but proficient treasury team has transitioned from reactive cash visibility to proactive liquidity management. They’ve also developed a centralized forecasting model that accurately predicts cash flows across all of their entities, and have implemented a scalable investment workflow that has led to significant gains in both portfolio yield and reporting capabilities.
The result is a fully modernized treasury function that delivers clarity, compliance, and confidence for Mallow’s entire treasury team, as well
as for relevant board members and executive committees.
