CV example
Treasury analyst CV example (UK and Ireland)
Treasury recruiters scan for the core areas (cash and liquidity, forecasting, FX, banking, payments and controls) and then for outcomes, not tasks. Show your ACT progress even if you're part-way through.
From vague to specific
Each stronger line comes from answering one question. The facts are the candidate’s, not invented.

What recruiters look for
- Keywords that match real experience: liquidity and cash management, cash-flow forecasting, FX exposure and hedging, banking relationships, TMS and payment systems, controls.
- Bullets about outcomes, not tasks; vague titles and responsibilities without outcomes are the common mistakes.
- Progress with AMCT, MCT, CertITM or CertICM, even part-qualified, and first-time passes.
- Explain your role so a non-treasury person would understand it, with a clear reason for each move.
Common mistakes
- A job title like “Finance Analyst” when the work was treasury. Use the title that describes the work, and keep the employer's title if it differs.
- Listing systems without what you did with them.
- Leaving out ACT progress because you're not fully qualified yet.
