A financial controller reports effectively and timely on the financial status of the company. They analysis the historic results to come up with solutions for the company to mitigate and make savings. They are responsible for controlling the finances of the company.

A treasury analyst manages the flow of cash at a financial institution or in an office where cash transactions are made and ensures that the company is liquid enough to run .

A financial controller role is primarily responsible for accounting aspects i.e. monthly management accounts, budgets, annual accounts etc. Depending on the size of an organisation, It's normally a managerial position. Whereas treasury analyst role is a relatively junior role (not managerial). Typically, a treasury analyst will assist treasury manager / controller in management of cash flows, banking relationships, derivatives, loan book, trade finance etc.

 

I hope it helps!

 

Kind regards
