Making Global Finance Work
Background
This company has a deep technology suite, a system that could generate heat at extreme temperatures, proven in projects in India and abroad. To take it global, the promoters built a structure with a holding company in Cyprus, a licensing partner in Australia, and a subsidiary in India.
The structure worked on paper. But in practice, it created noise. Each country had its own rules and filings. Reports came in different formats. Moving money between entities was slow and often got stuck in approvals. The promoters were spending time on compliance puzzles when they wanted to be focused on building the business.
The Challenge
The company had steady growth, but the financial reporting aspects needed to be in line with a fast- growing company
- Reports didn’t line up, so management never had one clear story.
- Fund transfers dragged on, with tax and regulatory checks holding things up.
- Compliance deadlines kept clashing, turning routine filings into last-minute sprints.
The business was global, but the systems weren’t.
Mantraa’s Role
We came in to take the weight off the promoters.
- First, we got reporting in sync so numbers across Cyprus, Australia, and India finally spoke the same language.
- Compliance moved from fire drills to a predictable calendar — filings became boring, in the best possible way.
- Cross-border cash flows were restructured so money could move quickly, without running afoul of tax or regulatory rules.
- Alongside this, we worked as CFO partners, helping leadership think through decisions with a clear financial view.
The Impact
Within months, the difference showed. Reports stopped being a patchwork and started giving real visibility. Compliance stopped being a scramble. Cash stopped getting stuck in transit.
Most importantly, the promoters could breathe easier. They had financial clarity and the confidence to pursue larger opportunities without worrying whether the systems behind them could handle it.
With that foundation, the company turned back to what mattered, scaling its solar technology and winning global projects.
Key Takeaway​
Global growth creates complexity. But with the right support, finance doesn’t have to be a headache. For the company, it became the backbone that let them think bigger.
