01

What does this hire really come down to?

What process do you use to prevent cash surprises and payment errors? How do you identify discrepancies in bank reporting before they cause liquidity issues? Accuracy here preserves your ability to fund operations without constant emergency borrowing.

They spend their day managing cash positions and executing payment controls. They own the bank portal relationship. They must balance the internal need for fast capital movement with the external necessity of secure authentication and audit-ready records.

Ask them to explain a time they identified a significant variance in a cash forecast. Ask how they reconcile bank fees against expectations. Ask what they do when a wire fails or a bank system goes offline during critical settlement hours.

Define the specific scale of your treasury operations during our scope conversation to avoid misaligned expectations. I need to know the number of bank accounts currently active, the variety of currencies handled, and the average daily transaction volume. Providing this detail allows me to filter for candidates who understand the actual complexity of your liquidity requirements rather than just the academic concepts. When you ask candidates about their past performance, push beyond vague answers about reconciliation. Require them to detail the exact sequence of steps taken to secure an interrupted payment or to rectify a technical failure within a bank portal. Evidence lies in the granular details of their manual intervention, not in their ability to describe how a system should theoretically function. Ask them to walk you through a specific instance where a 13-week cash forecast failed to predict a real-world shortfall. What internal stakeholders were contacted? How were credit facilities utilized to cover the gap? If they cannot explain the mechanical interaction between cash positioning and your specific debt covenants, they are likely overstating their operational capacity. Do not accept generalizations about risk management. Request a clear explanation of how they audited bank fees against their agreements to identify overcharges. This reveals if they possess the necessary diligence to manage your bank relationships. We must also verify if they have personally administered user entitlements on portals, as delegation of this task to external IT teams often masks a lack of technical depth. If their experience is limited to running reports that others built, they will struggle to adjust your cash models when your liquidity needs shift. Confirm they have built models from scratch, not just updated rows in a legacy file.

02

What do we check before you see anyone?

First, we confirm they have managed daily cash positioning using TMS or similar platforms. Second, we verify they have handled bank account administration, specifically signing authorities and portal access control. Third, we check for direct experience with 13-week cash forecasting models. Fourth, we test their ability to manage covenant tracking against credit facilities. Fifth, we confirm they have performed monthly bank reconciliation and fee analysis. Sixth, we ask about their experience with payment systems and fraud prevention controls.

03

Where do we find them?

We source from other corporate treasury teams and banking back-office support departments. We also talk to audit professionals moving toward corporate accounting functions. Candidates move when their current scope hits a ceiling, usually when a stable treasury system leaves them with no project work, or when a manual process environment offers no path to automation.

We prioritize people in departments that have recently migrated to new TMS platforms. They understand the transition from Excel to integrated systems. We look for those handling debt compliance who want to move into broader cash management.

A Treasury Analyst candidate is worth interviewing if they possess CTP or CFA credentials, though we treat these as evidence of knowledge, not automatic job fitness. We look for individuals who have managed bank account structures across multiple jurisdictions. We specifically avoid candidates whose experience is limited to pure bookkeeping without bank-facing responsibilities.

04

Which hiring mistakes should you watch for?

  • 01Selecting a candidate who lacks experience with live bank portals and portal user permissions.
  • 02Prioritizing candidates from large firms without direct bank relationship or covenant experience.
  • 03Failing to distinguish accounting accuracy from treasury timing and settlement windows.

05

The search in three steps

  • 01Initial screening against specific bank portal and TMS tool proficiency.
  • 02Reference checks focused on their reliability during daily settlement and cash reporting windows.
  • 03Presentation of candidates who meet your exact operational requirements for cash control and reporting.

How your Treasury Analyst search runs

How does The Six-Step Search work?

One sequence, from a well-defined seat to a shortlist you can judge.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
