Payment terms shape cash flow and risk. We map the proposed payment flow, identify currency and timing exposure, document approval controls, and prepare questions for the client's bank or financial professional. Nexus does not execute payments, provide foreign exchange services or advise on financial instruments.
The problem it addresses
Payment terms were agreed verbally and nobody documented currency, fees or who approves each transfer.
Who it is for
Buyers and sellers negotiating deposits, milestones or recurring cross-border payments.
What the engagement produces
- A payment flow map with timing and currency
- An approval and reconciliation control sheet
- A list of questions for the bank or financial professional
How the work runs
- 01
Scope
Confirm the situation, the decision to be made, responsibilities, fees and what is explicitly out of scope. Third-party costs are identified before work begins.
- 02
Work
Interview the people closest to the work, review the records that exist, build the change and test it against real exceptions rather than a demo.
- 03
Handoff
Document what was built, train the owner, record open items and define whether ongoing support is needed. The business should not depend on Nexus to operate the result.
What it does not do
Stated before the engagement so the scope is honest. Additional requirements are scoped and confirmed in writing.
- Nexus is not a bank, money transmitter or financial advisor.
- Bank fees, exchange rates and settlement times are set by financial institutions.
- The client is responsible for compliance with applicable payment and reporting rules.
- Nexus does not act as a customs broker, freight forwarder, importer of record or law firm.
- Tariffs, duties, classification and admissibility are determined by U.S. and foreign authorities and can change without notice.
- Landed-cost models are planning estimates, not binding quotes from carriers or authorities.
