A career in treasury is an opportunity to work at the heart of an organisation providing valuable support to all key functions including financial areas.
The role of the treasury professional is extremely varied incorporating a range of professional disciplines including cash management, corporate finance, risk management and corporate governance.
Whilst the skills demonstrated by a treasurer have been long accepted as vital to business success, the role of the financial profession is still developing. A treasurer is not constrained by the expectations associated with more established corporate roles such as the lawyer or accountant and has more scope to develop their own brief in line with the strategic aims of a organisation.
