The hero headline is the strongest line on the page. What follows it loses the CFO. Four technical actions at equal weight, a single neutral CTA, and proof from industry leaders with no numbers attached. The consequence the buyer is already living — a cash position that changed overnight while the team was still compiling yesterday's spreadsheet — is nowhere in the hero.

📣 Nilus Raises $10M, Reaching $18M in Funding to Lead the Future of AI-Powered Treasury Management
From System of Record to System of Action.
Hero headline is the strongest line on the page — but it's a transition claim, not a consequence. "From X to Y" describes a product journey. It doesn't name what the CFO loses every day they stay in "System of Record" mode. A treasurer who spent 4 hours compiling yesterday's cash position doesn't need to understand the journey. They need to see their problem named.
Add treasury AI agents that forecast, reconcile, optimize liquidity, and execute policy-bound moves — fully explainable, fully auditable.
Subheadline lists four technical capabilities at equal weight: forecast, reconcile, optimize, execute. "Fully explainable, fully auditable" appears as a compliance qualifier at the end — buried where it matters most. For a CFO evaluating AI for treasury, auditability is not a footnote. It's the blocker. Leading with it flips the objection before it forms.
Book a demo
Single CTA — "Book a demo" — with no secondary path. A CFO doing initial research is not ready to commit 30 minutes to a sales call. There is no lower-commitment option to see the product in action before engaging. Without one, every first-visit buyer who is not ready to book is lost entirely.
Trusted by industry leaders

Social proof is logos only — no numbers, no outcomes, no named quotes. "Trusted by industry leaders" is the weakest form of social proof. A CFO at a growth-stage company needs to know what changed for a treasury team like theirs after implementing Nilus. Logo strips without outcomes signal "we have customers" — not "we solved the problem you have."
Finally, a smart cash flow platform that drives proactive decisions.
* and removes 80% of your manual work
With clear cash visibility, automated workflows, and AI-powered insights, you'll spend more time optimizing decisions and less time compiling data.
"80% of your manual work" is the strongest quantified claim on the page. It appears as a footnote asterisk beneath the section header — styled as a caveat, not as a proof point. Eighty percent is a headline number. It should anchor the stat cards in the hero zone, not hide in a subheading qualifier.

Primary differentiator — leads
Two agents. One watching cash. One crunching it.
Not dashboards. Not reports. Active agents that act before you're asked.
The Liquidity Agent monitors every entity for breaches, FX exposure, and idle cash — then delivers a policy-bound recommendation before the window closes. The Analyst Agent handles the variance analysis, pivoting, and charting your team currently does manually. Stop being human middleware between your data and your decisions.
Liquidity Agent
Every breach. Every FX exposure. Every idle dollar. Seen before your team opens a spreadsheet.
Policy-bound recommendation delivered automatically. Before the window closes.
Analyst Agent
Pivoting, charting, variance analysis. Delegated. Your data can finally talk back.
Reasons over your live cash model. No manual prep. No middleware.
Supporting proof — 02
Cash positions, forecasting, reconciliation — in one platform
Real-time visibility across every entity. No data warehouse. No IT ticket.
View exposures, set policies, and steer with AI-powered alerts. Forecast from historical cash flows and expected transactions. Bank reconciliation, gateway reconciliation, and collections — automated. The manual workflows your team runs on repeat are gone.
Supporting proof — 03
Fully explainable. Fully auditable. No black boxes.
Every agent recommendation has a reason. Every action has a log.

What changed & why

Five structural upgrades. Each one addresses a specific bug in the original.

❌ Before
From System of Record to System of Action.
Transition claim. Names the journey but not the consequence the CFO is living today.
✅ After
Your cash position changed last night. Your team finds out this morning.
Names the exact moment of failure every treasury team recognises. The consequence is already happening. Nilus is the fix.
1
Title: name the consequence, not the transition
"From System of Record to System of Action" is a compelling product narrative — but it describes where Nilus takes you, not what you're suffering today. A CFO who discovered a cash shortfall after the fact, or who got surprised by an FX exposure their team missed, does not need to understand a journey. They need to see their problem named precisely. "Your cash position changed last night. Your team finds out this morning." names the specific failure mode that every treasury team without real-time monitoring has experienced. Recognition creates urgency. A transition claim creates interest.
2
Auditability moved from footnote to front
"Fully explainable, fully auditable" appears at the end of the subheadline in the original — positioned as a qualifier, not a feature. For a CFO evaluating AI for treasury operations, auditability is the primary objection. Every AI product sounds powerful until someone asks: can I explain what it did to my audit committee? Moving "fully explainable, fully auditable" to the front of the subheadline removes the objection before it forms. The CFO reads it before they read anything else about what the agents do.
3
"80% manual work eliminated" promoted to stat card
The original buries this number as an asterisk beneath a section header — styled as a caveat rather than a proof point. Eighty percent is a significant operational claim. For a finance team running three FTEs on manual reconciliation and reporting, 80% is not a footnote. It is the entire business case. Promoted to a stat card in the hero zone, it becomes the first quantified signal a CFO sees before any feature explanation. Proof before claim — always.
4
CTAs: ownership language + a second path
"Book a demo" tells the buyer what to do. "See my team's manual hours" tells the buyer what they get — specifically, a calculation of the time their team currently loses to manual work. Ownership language converts higher because the button feels like the buyer's problem being solved, not a vendor's sales process being initiated. The secondary CTA "Watch the agent in action" gives the first-visit CFO a way to evaluate the product without booking 30 minutes. Without it, every buyer not ready to demo today is lost.
5
Agents lead the feature section — differentiators first
The original presents agents and platform features at equal visual weight. The Analyst Agent and Liquidity Agent are Nilus's sharpest differentiation — active AI that acts, not passive dashboards that display. Promoting them to lead the feature section, framed as "Two agents. One watching cash. One crunching it," immediately signals to a treasury buyer that this is not another cash management dashboard. The platform features — cash positions, forecasting, reconciliation — follow as supporting infrastructure. The primary differentiator leads. Everything else amplifies it.

This is the Strategic Flow method

Every word earns its place. The reader's consequence leads — not the product journey. The strongest number on the page belongs in the hero, not in an asterisk. The primary objection gets answered before the buyer forms it. The CTA names what the buyer gets, not what the vendor wants them to do.
