Getting Started

Your first steps with TreasuryPath - from logging in to creating your first forecast scenario.

Last updated March 3, 2026

Overview

This guide walks you through everything you need to do when you first log into TreasuryPath. By the end, you will have connected your bank accounts, organized your cash flows into categories, and created your first forecast scenario.

First Login

After your account is provisioned, you will receive an invitation email with a link to set your password. Once logged in, you land on the Home dashboard, which shows your treasury overview at a glance.

The main navigation gives you access to:

  • Home - Dashboard with key metrics, positions breakdown, and maturity ladder
  • Accounts - Bank accounts, transactions, and the Global Cash View
  • Counterparties - Manage counterparty profiles and relationships
  • Cash flow - Forecast scenarios, contractual transactions, simulation rules, cash categories, reconciliation, and settings
  • Payments - Payment operations and bills
  • Controls - Financial controls and policies
  • Integrations - Connect banks, payment providers, CRM, and other tools
  • Settings - Team members, entities, and workspace configuration

Connecting Your First Bank Account

Bank connections are the foundation of TreasuryPath. Connecting your accounts pulls in real-time balances and transaction history.

  1. Navigate to Integrations in the sidebar
  2. Click Connect next to Plaid
  3. The Plaid Link dialog opens - search for your bank by name
  4. Log in with your bank credentials and authorize access
  5. Select which accounts to connect
  6. TreasuryPath begins syncing balances and transactions automatically

Once connected, your accounts appear on the Accounts page with current balances. Balances update automatically throughout the day.

If your institution is not available through Plaid, TreasuryPath also supports Quiltt, a multi-aggregator platform that connects through MX, Finicity, and Akoya. The connection flow is similar to Plaid.

Setting Up Cash Categories

Cash categories organize your expected cash flows into a structure that matches how your business thinks about money. Before creating forecasts, set up categories that reflect your actual cash flow types.

  1. Navigate to Cash flow then Cash categories in the sidebar
  2. Click New category
  3. Give the category a name (e.g., “Revenue”, “Operating Expenses”, “Debt Service”)
  4. Optionally select a parent category to nest it in a hierarchy (e.g., “Subscription Revenue” under “Revenue”)

Categories form a hierarchy, so you can drill down from high-level summaries to individual line items in your forecasts.

Creating Your First Forecast Scenario

A forecast scenario is where you project future cash positions. Your company starts with a primary scenario that serves as the baseline.

  1. Navigate to Cash flow then Scenarios in the sidebar
  2. Click Create Scenario
  3. Give it a name (e.g., “Q2 2026 Forecast”)
  4. Set the start date for the forecast
  5. Choose the granularity - monthly or weekly
  6. Set the duration - how many periods to forecast
  7. Click Create

Adding Expected Cash Flows

Expected cash flows are managed from the Contractual Transactions page (under Cash flow in the sidebar), separate from scenarios.

  1. Navigate to Cash flow then Contractual Transactions
  2. Click Add transaction to create a new expected cash flow
  3. Select a cash category (e.g., “Payroll” under Operating Expenses)
  4. Enter the amount and currency
  5. Set the expected date
  6. Choose the direction - inflow or outflow
  7. Select the recurrence type:
    • One-time for a single transaction
    • Recurring for repeated transactions (daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly)

For recurring cash flows, specify how many times they repeat (1 to 52 occurrences). These contractual transactions feed into your forecast scenarios automatically.

Reviewing Your Forecast

Once you have added expected cash flows, your scenario shows a projected cash position over time. The forecast view combines:

  • Your current bank balances (starting position)
  • Expected inflows (money coming in)
  • Expected outflows (money going out)
  • Net position for each period

Use this view to spot potential shortfalls before they happen and identify periods where excess cash could be put to work.
