Fabio Advisory Partners

About Fabio Advisory Partners

Fabio Advisory Partners is an independent corporate treasury advisory firm specialising in settlement architecture and cross-border payment infrastructure. We help finance leaders understand how FX costs and control risks are structurally created within their treasury setup, and provide clear documentation to support internal decision-making.

We are advisory-only. We do not execute transactions, select providers, or handle client funds.

Engagement Structure

Tier 1: Settlement Architecture Diagnostic

Document the current state of your treasury settlement architecture and FX cost structure. A concise, decision-ready diagnostic that provides finance leaders with clear, defensible understanding of the present system.

What This Delivers:

• Settlement architecture classification
• End-to-end FX and settlement flow mapping
• Structural FX cost quantification
• Control gap and governance risk identification

Does Not Include: Optimisation recommendations, provider selection, or implementation guidance.

Tier 2: Architecture Requirements Specification

Translate diagnostic findings into clear capability requirements for future decision-making. Provider-neutral specifications that allow confident evaluation using your own procurement processes.

What This Delivers:

• Capability requirements derived from findings
• Architectural pattern comparison
• Provider evaluation criteria
• Trade-off and constraint documentation

Does Not Include: Provider endorsement, commercial negotiation, or implementation management.

Architecture Decision Support Programme

Optional ongoing relationship following Tier 2 completion. Support architecture decisions over time without creating execution dependency.

• Decision Support: Framework-based assessment of specific architecture decisions as they arise
• Annual Health Check: Periodic review to identify material drift or emerging risks
• Assurance Monitoring: Light-touch monitoring to flag material deviations from baseline

Our Methodology

Structured diagnostic frameworks designed to preserve independence and deliver defensible, audit-ready documentation for finance leaders.

Documentation Clarity

Every engagement produces clear, concise documentation that separates measured findings from assumptions. Our reports are designed to support board-level decision-making and withstand audit scrutiny.

Analytical Rigour

Structured analysis frameworks that identify structural issues within treasury operations. We quantify FX leakage, map control gaps, and document architectural patterns without bias toward specific solutions.

Decision Credibility

Our work produces defensible evidence that finance leaders can present to boards, auditors, and regulators. Clear documentation of current state enables confident internal decision-making without external dependency.

Preserved Independence

We maintain strict independence through our engagement model. No provider relationships, no execution responsibilities, and no implementation management ensures our analysis remains objective and our documentation credible.
