Introduction

Better Energy is a fast-growing developer and operator of solar parks across Europe. With operations in 6 countries, more than 400 legal entities, and over 400 bank accounts across 9+ banks, cash visibility was a daily operational burden. What started as a need for basic cash transparency quickly became a transformational shift in how the treasury team works.

Problem

As Better Energy scaled, so did its treasury complexity:

• Treasury had to manually check hundreds of bank portals each day
• Access to cash balances varied wildly — in some countries, each legal entity required separate logins
• No real-time view of cash flow — making short-term planning, reconciliations, and funding decisions slow and error-prone
• Risk of overdrafts, missed funding windows, and underutilized capital
• A small treasury team with no automation tools beyond Excel

“We were using Excel and MitID to log into every bank. It took hours every day just to know our cash position.”

Solution

Better Energy chose FinanceKey for its ability to consolidate cash data from hundreds of accounts into a single, intuitive dashboard — without disrupting existing systems.

FinanceKey offered:

• A single dashboard across all banks and entities
• Real-time access to balances and transactions
• A standardized feed of data, no matter which bank or currency
• Searchable, filterable views by legal entity, region or joint venture
• The ability to automate alerts, such as low balance notifications
• API feeds into internal systems for forecasting and reconciliation
