1 Share of the corporate treasurer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the business valuer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A corporate treasurer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a business valuer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • financial statements
  • interpret financial statements
  • investment analysis
  • review investment portfolios

What stands in the way is 12 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A corporate treasurer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a business valuer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held public offering business, administration and law
  • already held advise on tax planning communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held disseminate information on tax legislation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held trade securities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held property law business, administration and law
  • already held investment analysis business, administration and law

All 11 carried skills, including the 4 the corporate treasurer role treats as required.

9 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
