A corporate treasurer already meets 35% of what the bank treasurer role asks for. The move turns on 16 required skills not yet in the profile.
35%
67.4/ 100
1 Share of the bank treasurer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the corporate treasurer 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 this move works
A bank treasurer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a corporate treasurer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- advise on financial matters
- analyse financial performance of a company
- analyse market financial trends
- create a financial plan
- evaluate budgets
- financial analysis
What stands in the way is 16 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bank treasurer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a corporate treasurer background worth leading with.
- already held treasury management system business, administration and law
- already held manage corporate bank accounts management skills
- already held liquidity management business, administration and law
- already held evaluate budgets management skills
- already held investment analysis business, administration and law
- already held financial analysis business, administration and law
All 16 carried skills, including the 9 the bank treasurer role treats as required.

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.
