Focused on the USA, UK, & Europe, I help clients recruit from Treasury Analyst to Global Treasurer & candidates secure their dream role. I also provide expert advice on market trends & salaries to make a successful hire.

I recruit treasury professionals globally and have done so for over 25 years.

I work with CFOs, Group Treasurers and HR leaders across the UK, USA and Europe, from Treasury Analyst hires through to Group Treasurer and succession planning roles. This includes retained and contingent search, confidential hires, and market mapping for niche or complex mandates.

Alongside recruitment, I host the Treasury Career Corner Podcast.

Each and every week I talk to treasurers about how they built their careers, where they are now, and what they see both themselves and the treasury profession going to next.

I’ve done this over 400 times on the podcast and through live sessions with treasury professionals around the world.

Selected podcast episodes are accredited through the Association for Financial Professionals, allowing listeners to earn CTP or FPAC recertification credits by listening and completing a short quiz.

✅ WHAT I DO
Retained and contingent treasury search
Confidential and niche hires
Salary benchmarking from 1,500 treasury professionals
Market mapping and succession planning

✅ HOW I GOT HERE
1988: PE teacher. Loved the people side, wanted more
1994: Fell into recruitment
1997: Built the Treasury division at Robert Walters
2002: Founded The Treasury Recruitment Company during a recession

That early teaching background probably explains why I’ve always focused on listening properly, asking better questions, and understanding what actually motivates people in their careers.

CFOs and Finance Directors building or replacing treasury teams
Group Treasurers planning succession or team expansion
HR leaders needing specialist market insight or specialist search

✅ THINKING OF HIRING OR MOVING?

And for a long time, I went along with it.
In a previous role, I was expected to speak with confidence about “market salaries” that were built on guesswork, outdated conversations, and finger-in-the-air averages.

Those numbers were then passed off as data. They weren’t.

That never sat comfortably with me, especially knowing those figures end up in front of CFOs, boards, and hiring managers making real decisions about people, budgets, and careers.
So I built something different.

A global treasury salary survey based on real submissions from treasury professionals, with full context around role scope, location, working model, and total package, not assumptions.

In this video, I explain what I saw behind the scenes, why it bothered me, and why integrity in salary data actually matters.

If you hire, benchmark roles, or negotiate your own salary, this will resonate.
