The opportunity

Treasury functions are facing increasing complexity—volatile FX and interest rate markets, evolving accounting and regulatory expectations, liquidity pressures, and heightened stakeholder scrutiny. Organisations are also modernising their treasury operating models and technology stacks, with Treasury Management Systems (TMS) becoming a key enabler for controls, reporting and decision making.

We are looking to grow our Treasury Services team within the Financial Services - Financial Accounting Advisory Services (“FAAS”) service line. We are seeking individuals with treasury and/or accounting advisory experience to help clients enhance their treasury strategy and governance, support hedge accounting initiatives, and deliver Treasury Management System (TMS) selection and implementation projects.

The work we deliver covers a broad spectrum of treasury and accounting advisory services. You will gain exposure to end-to-end treasury activities (cash and liquidity management, funding, FX and interest rate risk management, treasury controls and governance, banking and payments) as well as hedge accounting under IFRS/SFRS and treasury technology transformation through TMS implementation programmes.

Our Treasury Services team helps clients design and embed effective treasury frameworks, translate risk management objectives into practical hedging and hedge accounting solutions, and deliver technology-enabled change. We work closely with finance, risk, tax and IT stakeholders to drive improved controls, transparency, and decision making.

Your key responsibilities:

Treasury advisory

• Support clients in assessing and improving treasury operating models, policies, governance, controls and treasury performance metrics
• Support clients through end-to-end treasury transformation journeys, including current-state diagnostics (processes, risks, controls, organization and technology) and future state transformations
• Analyse cash and liquidity positions, funding structures and banking arrangements; identify opportunities to optimise processes and reduce cost/risk
• Assist in FX and interest rate risk assessments, hedging strategy reviews, and development of risk management frameworks

Hedge accounting advisory (IFRS/SFRS)

• Support clients in designing and implementing hedge accounting solutions, including designation documentation, risk management linkage and control considerations
• Perform and/or review hedge effectiveness assessments (prospective and retrospective, where applicable), including quantitative analysis and interpretation of results
• Assist in accounting impact assessments and valuations for hedging instruments and hedged items (e.g., FX forwards, swaps, debt instruments), and support stakeholder communications
• Perform independent derivative valuation and quantitative analysis to support audit/assurance engagements (including explaining valuation differences by analysing key inputs, model choices, assumptions, and sensitivities)

Treasury Management System (TMS) project management and implementation

• Support TMS vendor selection and implementation programmes, including requirements gathering, vendor evaluation, solution design, testing, training and go-live readiness

• Coordinate project deliverables across business and IT workstreams (e.g., cash management, deals, accounting, interfaces, bank connectivity, reporting)
• Develop high-quality project documentation and client deliverables (e.g., process maps, functional specifications, test scripts, status reports)

General

• Maintain and develop positive, productive, and professional relationships with clients and internal stakeholders
• Take ownership of assigned workstreams, manage timelines, and proactively communicate progress, risks and dependencies
• Coach and support junior team members through on-the-job guidance and review of work products

Skills and attributes for success

• Strong understanding (or demonstrated interest) in corporate treasury and financial risk management concepts (FX, interest rate, liquidity, funding)
• Working knowledge of hedge accounting requirements under IFRS/SFRS (e.g., documentation, effectiveness, accounting entries) or willingness to develop quickly
• Project management discipline and comfort working across business and technology stakeholders (requirements, testing, issue management)
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with strong attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical concepts into clear messages for non-technical audiences
• Ability to work effectively as a team member, manage multiple priorities, and deliver high-quality outputs in a fast-paced environment
• Ability to work under tight deadlines and manage multiple engagements.
