How Treasury Technology and External Support Drive Strategic Change
Treasury transformation is not just about implementing new technology. It is about improving processes, understanding the business, giving teams the capacity to deliver change, and ensuring technology creates measurable value.In this episode, John James Dunne the Founder and Principal of Elevate Treasury Advisory explores how treasury teams can use technology, data and external support to drive meaningful strategic change - while avoiding the mistake of simply automating inefficient processes.John James Dunne is the Founder and Principal of Elevate Treasury Advisory, supporting CFOs, treasurers and finance leaders with treasury transformation, liquidity, risk, governance and technology.He is also involved in treasury education and developing the next generation of treasury professionals through his work with the Irish Association of Corporate Treasurers.In this conversation, John James shares his perspective on what makes treasury transformation successful and why technology alone is rarely the answer.He explains the importance of getting processes into the right shape before implementing a treasury management system, creating early wins to maintain momentum during long transformation projects, and using data to help senior leaders make better decisions.The discussion also explores why many treasury teams benefit from external support when internal capacity is already stretched, how treasury professionals can become stronger business partners, and why technical expertise must be matched by communication, judgement and an understanding of the wider business.Main Topics Discussed:Why treasury transformation should begin with process improvement before technology implementationHow external support can provide additional capacity for treasury teams delivering major projectsThe challenges of implementing a treasury management system while maintaining business-as-usual activityWhy creating early wins during transformation projects helps free capacity and maintain team momentumHow treasury teams can use Power BI, dashboards and self-service analytics to support C-suite decision-makingWhy treasury professionals need to understand the underlying business, not just the treasury numbersThe risks of becoming over-reliant on AI and technology without understanding the fundamentalsWhy communication, influencing and business partnering skills become increasingly important as treasury professionals progressYou can connect with John James Dunne on LinkedIn.---🎙️ Subscribe to the Treasury Career Corner podcast - Never miss an episode!

Why Treasury Careers Are About More Than Salary and Job Titles
What do treasury professionals want from their careers now, and what do companies need to change if they want to hire the best people?In this special episode, Mike Richards is joined by Katie Hardy from The Treasury Recruitment Company to compare notes on how treasury careers, hiring and candidate expectations have changed.They explore job titles, salaries, hybrid working, skills, networking and why both candidates and clients need to think differently about the treasury market today.After seven years working together, Mike and Katie take a practical look at what they are hearing every day from treasury professionals and hiring managers across the UK, Europe and US.They discuss why treasury job titles can mean completely different things from one company to another, and why candidates are looking beyond salary at progression, flexibility, leadership, culture and what a new role will actually add to their career.Mike and Katie also compare salary and hybrid working expectations across the US, UK and Europe, including why the same role cannot simply be benchmarked in the same way across different locations.On the hiring side, they look at why companies need to challenge old job descriptions, identify the genuine non-negotiables and stop searching for a perfect candidate while expecting to pay below the market.For treasury professionals, the message is equally practical. Show what you have achieved, keep your CV and LinkedIn profile up to date, benchmark your salary and build your network before you need your next job.They also discuss why interviews are a two-way process, why good candidates need to be sold the opportunity and why slow hiring processes can cost companies the people they really want. ---🎙️ Subscribe to the Treasury Career Corner podcast - Never miss an episode!
