What are the key measurements utilised to determine a brilliant treasurer from a run of the mill treasurer?
This was selected as Best Answer In any higher level accounting or finance position, the brilliant employees are the ones who grow from being merely a “technician” into a “thinker.” The technical skills are necessary, but an understanding of how the company and the industry truly work and the ability to structure the utilization of assets to position the company for growth and competitiveness will be invaluable. I’ve found that a level of technical expertise combined with cross-industry experience can bring new, fresh ideas to a company. However, some companies are intimidated by the idea of giving a treasurer the leeway to act on or even present ideas, relying instead on existing executive management or simply conforming to “how it’s always been done in the industry.” Brilliant treasurers are made, in part, by a brilliant organization that allows for some creativity in asset utilization.
