What is Citi Finance?

Have you ever stopped to think who controls the finances in a leading financial services company? Citi Finance is responsible for supervising all financial reporting and controls pertaining to the flow of capital into and out of our organization globally.

What services do we provide to our clients?
Citi Finance acts as a strategic partner across all sectors and works closely with many of the global management teams in Markets & Banking, the Global Consumer Group, Global Wealth Management, Citi Alternative Investments, and the Corporate Center. The Citi Finance team encompases a variety of specific functions including Treasury, Strategy, Business Development, Planning & Analysis, Audit & Risk Review, as well as Controllers.

How we're structured?
Citi Finance is part of the support structure for the entire organization. Finance comprises five major functions:

Controllers watch the bottom line. They are responsible for producing the Firm's financial reports, for ensuring the accuracy of the Firm's books and records, maintaining capitalization levels and for meeting regulatory and legal vehicle reporting requirements. "Control" is key to enabling Citi to embark on its many initiatives with the confidence that our financial and regulatory reporting -- which drives all crucial management decisions -- is being completed in a timely and accurate manner.

Treasury is the custodian of Citi’s balance sheet. This group manages the firm’s funding, liquidity and capital and is responsible for maintaining Citi’s relationships with credit rating agencies and with regulators.

Strategy and Planning plays a key support role to the CEOs and CFOs of the various Citi sectors. S&P comprises Strategy, Planning & Analysis and Risk Strategy. All three teams work closely together to provide senior management with the tools they need to optimally allocate human, capital and investment resources.

M&A is responsible for proactively identifying opportunities, performing detailed analyses and diligence on acquisition targets, and for making recommendations to Citi's M&A committee and senior business leaders. The group reviews deals based on strategic needs and works across all businesses and functional areas to coordinate the deal process - from signing confidentiality agreements, to competitive analyses, analytics and modeling, valuation support, presentation preparation, submission of bids, and contract negotiations.

Tax is responsible for financial, legal and regulatory tax reporting. This group has a keen understanding of the various sectors across our organization -- including our broker-dealer business, commodities trading, sales and trading and commercial lending -- and identifies tax-planning opportunities for these sectors.
