1What this role really is

This isn't just about moving money; it's about making sure the company has the right cash, in the right place, at the right time. You'll be the person who gets their hands dirty with the daily cash position, making sure all the numbers add up and payments go out without a hitch. Honestly, it's a critical role that keeps the whole financial engine running smoothly, day in, day out.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Microsoft ExcelIntermediate

Building and maintaining the daily cash position spreadsheet, performing reconciliations, and creating simple financial models. You'll use VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, and SUMIFs like it's second nature.

Treasury Management System (TMS) - Kyriba / GTreasuryIntermediate

Daily data entry, pulling pre-configured reports for cash balances and payments, executing routine payments, and managing basic static data like bank accounts. You'll be comfortable navigating its core modules.

ERP System - SAP S/4HANA (Cash Mgmt) / Oracle NetSuiteBasic

Navigating treasury-related modules to find payment data, pulling standard reports, and understanding how treasury transactions interact with the general ledger. You don't need to be an expert, but you should know your way around.

Bank Portals - J.P. Morgan Access / CitiDirect BE / Bank of America CashProIntermediate

Daily balance reporting, initiating wire/ACH templates, downloading statements (MT940s), and troubleshooting minor payment issues directly with the bank. You'll be in these portals every day.

Market Data - Refinitiv Eikon / Bloomberg TerminalBasic

Looking up current FX spot rates and interest rates, and following basic market news that might impact our cash. You won't be trading, but you'll know where to find the numbers.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Daily Cash Position ReportingPrepares under direct supervision, all numbers reviewed before distribution.Independently prepares and distributes by deadline; flags significant variances for manager review.Oversees preparation, performs high-level review, and provides strategic commentary on trends.
Payment AuthorisationPrepares payment instructions for review; no individual authorisation.Initiates routine payments up to £50,000; larger payments require Treasury Manager sign-off.Authorises payments up to £250,000; oversees payment processing controls and escalations.
Bank Account Reconciliation DiscrepanciesIdentifies discrepancies and escalates to supervisor for investigation.Investigates and resolves routine discrepancies; escalates complex or material issues.Defines reconciliation procedures, approves resolution for material discrepancies, and drives systemic fixes.
Bank Operational Issue ResolutionReports issues to supervisor; assists with gathering information.Directly engages with bank contacts to resolve routine issues (e.g., statement delivery, payment trace).Manages complex bank operational issues, negotiates service improvements, and evaluates bank performance.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Payment Processing Accuracy
The percentage of payments processed without any errors (e.g., incorrect amount, wrong beneficiary, missed cut-off time).
Target · < 0.1% error rate (less than one error per 1,000 payments)

Out of 500 payments processed in a month, you had zero errors. That's a 100% accuracy rate, which is what we're aiming for.

Daily Cash Position Timeliness
The proportion of daily cash position reports completed and distributed by the 9:30 AM deadline.
Target · 100% completion by 9:30 AM, every working day

You consistently get the cash position out by 9:15 AM, giving everyone time to review it before their morning meetings. That's spot on.

Bank Statement Reconciliation Efficiency
The time taken to reconcile bank statements, particularly for accounts with high transaction volumes or manual processing needs.
Target · Reduce average reconciliation time by 15% for manual accounts

You found a way to streamline the reconciliation for a tricky international bank account, cutting the time from 2 hours to 1.5 hours per week. That's real time saved.

Forecast Variance Analysis
The accuracy of identifying and explaining variances between actual cash flows and the short-term cash forecast.
Target · Explain 90% of variances greater than £10K within 24 hours

Last week, actual cash came in £25K lower than forecast. You quickly identified it was due to a large customer payment being delayed by a day and communicated it. That's exactly what we need.

Proactive Problem Solving
Your ability to spot potential issues (e.g., a payment not going through, a system glitch) and address them before they become bigger problems.
  • You flag an unusual bank fee before it hits the P&L, or you notice a recurring issue with a payment template and suggest a fix. You don't wait to be told
  • you just get on with it and keep people in the loop.
Clear and Concise Communication
How well you communicate complex financial information or operational issues to non-treasury colleagues, especially when things go wrong.
  • When a payment is delayed, you send a clear email to the relevant business unit explaining why, what's being done, and when they can expect it. No jargon, just the facts. People actually understand what you're saying.
Adherence to Controls and Policies
Your consistent application of internal treasury policies and controls, ensuring we operate within our risk framework.
  • You always follow the dual authorisation process for payments, even when it's late and everyone's pushing. You question anything that looks like it might bypass a control. This shows you get that rules are there for a reason, not just to annoy you.
Process Improvement Contributions
Your willingness to look for ways to make our daily treasury operations more efficient, accurate, or less painful.
  • You suggest a small change to our Excel template that saves 10 minutes a day, or you identify a manual task that could be automated. You're not just doing the job
  • you're thinking about how to do it better.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Operational Excellence

You get a real kick out of seeing a perfectly balanced reconciliation or a complex payment processed without a hitch. You enjoy the satisfaction of a job done precisely and accurately.

Spending an hour tracking down a tiny discrepancy and finally finding the root cause brings you a quiet sense of victory.

Impact and Responsibility

You appreciate knowing that your daily accuracy directly contributes to the company's financial health. You like the feeling of being responsible for something critical and delivering on it.

Knowing that the CFO relies on your daily cash position report to make investment decisions is a motivator for you.

Problem Solving (within parameters)

While you love routine, you also enjoy the challenge of troubleshooting a payment issue or figuring out why a bank statement isn't reconciling. It's about solving puzzles within a structured environment.

When a bank portal suddenly changes its interface, you're the first to figure out the new workflow and update the team.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Forecast Chase': Spending Monday morning trying to get cash forecasts from 15 different business units, only for them to arrive late and in inconsistent formats.
  • Bank Portal Blackouts: Your primary bank's online portal deciding to go down for 'unscheduled maintenance' right before the wire cut-off time, causing a frantic scramble.
  • KYC Hell: A single bank asking for the same corporate governance documents for the fifth time this year because a different department within the bank initiated a 'KYC refresh'. It's never-ending.
  • Explaining Bank Fees: Trying to explain to a business manager why their department was charged a £50 fee for an international wire transfer and why it can't be avoided or reversed.
What this role does not give you
  • High-level strategic decision-making (that comes later, if you progress).
  • Constant variety and unpredictable daily tasks (there's a lot of routine here).
  • A quiet, uninterrupted work environment (urgent requests happen, systems go down).

6Who you work with

Your daily work directly impacts the company's liquidity and operational efficiency. Get the cash position wrong, and we might miss a payment or make a bad investment decision. Get it right, and you're providing the bedrock for sound financial management across the entire organisation. You're essentially the gatekeeper of our cash, which, let's be honest, is pretty important.

Inside the business
  • Treasury Manager and Head of Treasury
  • Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable teams
  • Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
  • General Ledger accounting team
Outside the business
  • Primary banking partners (e.g., J.P. Morgan, Citi, Bank of America)
  • External auditors (for controls checks)
  • Payment system providers

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience in a finance or treasury operations role, ideally within a corporate environment.
  • Demonstrable experience with daily cash management tasks, including bank reconciliations and payment processing.
  • Proven ability to work accurately with large datasets and financial figures, spotting errors and inconsistencies.
  • Experience using at least one major ERP system (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and/or a Treasury Management System.
  • A solid understanding of basic accounting principles related to cash and bank transactions.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced TMS Functionality

Critical within 12 months. You'll need to move beyond just pulling standard reports. Understanding how to build custom dashboards, manage more complex static data, and even troubleshoot minor system issues will become part of your remit.

Custom Report Building · Static Data Management · Basic System Administration

  • This month: Spend time exploring the 'custom reports' section of our TMS. What options are there?
  • Next quarter: Ask your manager for a task to update some static data or build a simple custom report.
  • Within 6 months: Shadow a more senior colleague when they're troubleshooting a TMS issue or setting up a new feature.
  • Within 9 months: Take any vendor-provided training on advanced TMS functionality.

Quick win: Identify one report you currently build manually in Excel that could be built directly in the TMS. Try it out.

Enhanced Spreadsheet Modelling

Important within 6-12 months. While we want to automate, Excel isn't going anywhere. You'll need to build more robust and flexible models, moving beyond simple calculations to more dynamic forecasting and scenario analysis.

Scenario Analysis · Data Validation & Error Checking · Named Ranges & Structured References · Index/Match vs. VLOOKUP

  • This month: Start using named ranges and structured references in your daily cash position spreadsheet.
  • Next quarter: Build a simple 'what-if' scenario into one of your existing cash flow models.
  • Within 6 months: Take an advanced Excel modelling course, focusing on financial modelling best practices.
  • Within 9 months: Look for opportunities to simplify complex formulas or improve the auditability of your spreadsheets.

Quick win: Implement basic data validation rules in your input cells to prevent common errors like incorrect dates or text entries.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Join the Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT) as a student member to access resources and networking events.
  • Attend webinars or online courses on specific treasury topics like cash forecasting or payment systems.
  • Read industry publications (e.g., Treasury Today, The Treasurer magazine) to stay up-to-date with market trends.
  • Seek out opportunities to shadow more senior colleagues on different treasury tasks to broaden your exposure.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Basic Automation & Scripting (e.g., VBA, Power Query)

Critical within 12 months. Honestly, manual data handling is a time sink. The more you can automate repetitive tasks, the more time you'll have for interesting analysis. Competitors are already using simple scripts to speed up their daily processes, and we need to keep pace.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Treasury Assistant is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, parts of treasury work can be a bit repetitive, even tedious. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work to an AI assistant? We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you superpowers. Imagine spending less time on manual data entry and more time on analysis and problem-solving.

At Zavmo, we're actively exploring and implementing AI tools to make our Finance team more efficient. For a Treasury Assistant, this means turning those hours spent on mundane tasks into minutes, freeing you up to tackle more interesting challenges and actually get home on time. Here’s a glimpse of how AI could change your day-to-day:

Automated Cash Positioning

Picture this: AI-powered tools that automatically pull data from all your bank portals and even those pesky unstructured PDF statements. It classifies and formats everything, populating your daily cash position worksheet in minutes. No more manual scraping or re-keying. It's a game-changer for getting that 9:30 AM report out.

Predictive Cash Forecasting

Instead of just relying on historical data, AI models can analyse past cash flows, spot seasonal patterns, and even factor in external economic indicators. This helps generate a much more accurate, dynamic 13-week cash forecast, highlighting potential shortfalls or surpluses much sooner than you could manually. It's like having a crystal ball for your cash.

Smart Bank Communications

Ever dread drafting those routine emails for bank documentation requests or responses to KYC inquiries? Generative AI can draft these for you, ensuring a consistent, professional tone and freeing up your time for more complex interactions. It's like having a personal comms assistant.

Bank Fee Analysis

AI can quickly analyse complex bank statements to identify and categorise all your bank fees, flagging any unusual charges or potential savings opportunities. Instead of poring over pages of transactions, you'll get a concise summary, helping you challenge fees or negotiate better rates with your banks.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Treasury Assistant, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 3 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Treasury Assistant: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Finance roles

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role are highly transferable. You could move into broader finance roles (e.g., FP&A, Financial Control), or specialise further within treasury at larger corporations or even financial institutions like banks or asset managers. The core understanding of cash flow and financial operations is always in demand.
