@Asker whatever some glossaries may say or not, "cash handling" is a very down to earth business - literally handling cash, sometimes by the cubic meter.
"gestion de la trésorerie" is partly connected to cash handling, but is a totally different kind of activity, done by completely different kind of professionals. the two are as much connected as planning the traffic flows of a whole city (metro, buses, car traffic, cycle lanes etc) and someone running just a local taxi company.
"gestion de la trésorerie" is (should be, at least) done by financial experts, planning cash flows and wisely investing available cash (like in Icelandic banks...)
"cash handling" is done by cashiers, counterfeiting experts and security people specialised in cash-in-transit, totally different kettle of fish.
Just look for job descriptions in advertisements involving "cash handling" and "gestion de trésorerie".

En relisant la phrase, je me rends compte que l'on ne précise pas s'il s'agit du financement de la société ou du financement accordé aux clients. Dès lors, il pourrait très bien s'agir d'accorder des termes de paiement à ses clients d'une part (financement), et d'autre part, de recevoir des paiements au comptant. Car j'ai beau cherché "gestion de la trésorerie" pour cash handling, la seule traduction trouvée (en ligne et sur papier) est "cash management". Et toutes les définitions trouvées de "cash-handling" sont conformes au commentaire de Daryo.

cash handling can't be nothing else than cash handling; although handling cash tends to be avoided outside of shops and banks, it can occur. For whatever reason, this company is literally handling cash.
