01
What does this hire really come down to?
A Cash Manager protects your company cash. They do not just record entries. They run daily funding, balance global accounts, and fix account discrepancies before they cause bank overdrafts or payment delays. You need someone who stays calm while balancing demands from bank partners and your internal accounting staff.
Effective hires have managed the firm deadlines of month-end closes and audits. They manage your bank portal security, such as user permissions and payment limits. They spot odd transaction patterns or billing errors, acting as the primary contact between your payment requirements and your cash balance targets.
We distinguish between data processors and owners. An operator enters transfers into a portal. A Cash Manager controls the entire process, creates steps to reduce fraud, and checks that every dollar moved stays within company policy, even during high-volume periods.
02
What do we check before you see anyone?
- 01We verify their history of enforcing dual-control protocols in electronic bank portals to prevent unauthorized payments through strict signature limits.
- 02We audit their record of managing daily cash positions across multiple entities to see how they detect liquidity shortages and handle urgent funding moves.
- 03We check their ability to audit bank fees by reviewing examples of how they consolidated fragmented accounts or corrected billing errors with financial institutions.
- 04We test their knowledge of clearing systems and wire protocols to verify they can fix files that are not batching, formatting, or transmitting correctly.
- 05We validate their work maintaining documentation for audits, specifically how they support lender covenants during intense reporting periods.
- 06We investigate their ability to solve payment exceptions in real time by evaluating how they coordinated with banks and accounting teams during system outages.
03
Where do we find them?
We recruit from treasury departments in decentralized companies with high transaction volumes. These people support firms with complex legal structures where local funding gaps happen daily and cash visibility is a constant challenge.
People move when their current company stops providing the daily technical problems they enjoy solving. They want to move to companies where their discipline in cash forecasting and portal control is viewed as a vital business function rather than a clerical task.
To source candidates, we focus on treasury professionals inside firms with fragmented bank accounts and manual reconciliation work. These individuals often look for a transition when their current setup prevents them from using automated tools or when bank portal administration is outsourced rather than held in-house. We ask candidates how they currently reconcile bank data against their ERP and what specific steps they take when a wire transmission fails. If a candidate describes relying on external bank support for every error, they lack the independence you require. A strong candidate provides a precise history of fixing file formats and managing user permissions themselves.
We investigate if a candidate seeks more control over liquidity forecasting than their current firm allows. We ask them to explain a time they identified a liquidity shortage before it occurred and the exact internal teams they had to coordinate with to bridge that gap. If their answer focuses only on reporting numbers to a supervisor without taking action to move funds, they do not possess the autonomy necessary for this role. We look for individuals who express frustration with lack of visibility into daily balances, as this signals they are ready to adopt the rigor of your cash management systems.
04
Which hiring mistakes should you watch for?
- 01Hiring managers often mistake data entry work for liquidity management, resulting in hires who cannot handle forecasting or portal administration.
- 02Hiring teams often ignore the need for specific ERP technical depth, picking people who cannot troubleshoot data sync errors between bank files and general ledgers.
- 03Managers often hire based on years of service rather than a track record of fixing specific problems, ignoring that handling small volumes does not prepare a person to scale.
05
The search in three steps
- 01We identify your daily technical duties and specific bank portal systems to verify candidates have relevant, hands-on experience.
- 02We contact employed professionals currently holding these roles, testing their technical judgment and their ability to take responsibility for processes.
- 03We provide a list of candidates who are ready to handle your payment controls and reporting, allowing for an interview process focused on fit.

How your Cash Manager search runs
How does The Six-Step Search work?
One sequence, from a well-defined seat to a shortlist you can judge.
Search Calibration
We start with a call about the seat, the books, the owners and the people the hire will work with. We learn what the role must fix in the first year and what would make a candidate wrong even if the resume looks right.
You get: A written search brief: scope, must-haves, deal-breakers and the pay range, agreed with you.
Market Mapping
We map the companies and institutions where the right people already work: similar size, similar ownership, similar complexity, in your market and in others.
You get: The target list of companies and institutions we will search, reviewed with you before outreach.
Professional Contact Intelligence
We find direct ways to reach the people on the map. Most are employed and not reading job boards, so reaching them takes real research.
You get: Direct routes to people who are not on job boards, researched for your search.
Persistent Personalized Outreach
We call and write to people individually and follow up. Interest varies, so we discuss the actual opportunity rather than promising a particular response.
You get: One-to-one conversations about your actual role, followed up, never a mass email blast.
Live Candidate Qualification
We speak with every candidate before you do. We check scope, systems, reporting lines, compensation expectations, location and why they would move.
You get: Only candidates we have spoken with, checked on scope, systems, pay, location and motive.
Candidate Intelligence and Process Support
You receive a short written brief on each finalist covering what they have done, where they are thin and what they want. Then we help with interviews, references and the offer.
You get: A short written brief on each finalist, plus help with interviews, references, counteroffer risk and the offer.
Questions people ask
How soon will we have access to candidates who meet our specific liquidity management needs?
Our research is exhaustive, so we do not provide arbitrary timelines for delivery. Once we reach a clear understanding of your liquidity requirements, we will present candidates who match your technical needs as we qualify them.
What specific criteria do you use to evaluate if a candidate can handle our bank portal administration?
We focus on their history of managing payment controls and portal administration under pressure. You will interview candidates who have already proven they can operate within a high-volume environment while maintaining internal compliance.
How do you test the candidate's intent to sign our offer when they face a counteroffer? What triggers indicate they intend to resign?
A candidate accepting a counteroffer usually indicates a failure to uncover their true motivations early. We assess their reasons for considering a move to verify they are committed to changing their professional environment.
How do you handle the disclosure of our company name during initial market outreach?
We manage the disclosure of your company name according to your instructions. We can conduct initial outreach without revealing your firm's identity until we are ready to discuss your operational needs with a serious prospect.
Are your recruitment services strictly contingency-based?
You avoid recruitment costs until you successfully hire a Cash Manager from our qualified shortlist. We define the specific investment required in a signed agreement before initiating our work.
What is the fee for a Cash Manager search?
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire. The fee and terms are agreed in writing before we start.
What is your guarantee?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.
What don't you do?
We do not post your Cash Manager job and forward whoever applies. We do not send stacks of unscreened resumes, and we do not recruit outside accounting, finance, banking and insurance.
