Getting in
How to become a Treasury Manager
A bachelor's degree in finance, accounting or economics is typical. Many treasury managers start as treasury analysts, financial analysts or in bank cash management roles, and some move over from audit.
The Certified Treasury Professional credential from the Association for Financial Professionals is the leading treasury certification; it requires relevant experience and passing an exam based on the Essentials of Treasury Management. Familiarity with treasury management systems, bank portals and Excel modeling is expected. The CFA charter or an MBA can help with moving into treasurer roles.

The work

Treasury managers make sure a company has enough cash in the right place at the right time. They forecast cash flow, move money between accounts and countries, invest excess cash safely, and manage credit facilities and debt.
They also manage financial risk. That includes hedging foreign exchange and interest rate exposure with forwards and swaps, setting payment controls to prevent fraud, and maintaining relationships with banks and rating agencies. Treasury managers report to the treasurer or chief financial officer and often help with capital raises, debt refinancing and board reporting.

- Forecast daily and monthly cash positions
- Manage bank accounts, payments and liquidity across entities
- Hedge foreign exchange and interest rate exposures
- Invest surplus cash under company investment policy
- Maintain credit facilities and monitor debt covenants
