1 Share of the corporate treasurer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the financial manager 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.

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 22 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 financial manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage corporate bank accounts management skills
  • already held manage securities management skills
  • already held liquidity management business, administration and law
  • already held advise on tax planning communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held evaluate budgets management skills
  • already held financial department processes business, administration and law

All 22 carried skills, including the 13 the corporate treasurer role treats as required.

Note

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.
