Last updated: May 23, 2026
KORE1 places treasury analysts who own cash positioning, 13-week forecasting, FX hedging, and debt covenant reporting. Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire engagements close in an average of 17 days across 30+ U.S. markets.
Friday afternoon. The treasury analyst who has owned your daily cash position for four years just handed in notice. Monday morning, $40M in wires need to clear, your RCF interest payment is due Wednesday, and the covenant compliance certificate is on the CFO’s desk next Friday. You can post the role, or you can call us.
We’re a specialized accounting and finance staffing agency that has placed treasury analysts since 2005. Our recruiters know the difference between an analyst who can pull bank balances into Excel and one who can run a Kyriba implementation, draft a covenant waiver memo, or rebuild a forward hedge program after a treasurer leaves. That gap is where most generalist firms lose you days you don’t have.
KORE1 places treasury talent across technology, healthcare, manufacturing, real estate, retail, and hospitality. Most of these companies are PE-backed or publicly held, sit between $200M and $2B in revenue, and carry real debt. The placements stick. 92% of our finance hires are still with the same employer at the 12-month mark.
The whole treasury seat, not just cash positioning
The job title is misleading. A “treasury analyst” at one company runs the daily cash report in Excel and emails it to the CFO. At another, the same title is reconciling intercompany cash pools, settling FX forwards with three counterparty banks, and writing the covenant compliance memo every month. We ask what the seat actually does before we source.
Most of our placements cover the core daily workload. That means cash positioning and the 13-week forecast, bank account administration, sweep and ICS investment moves, payment file release and dual-approval wire workflows, and the month-end covenant package. Analysts who have done that work in FP&A-adjacent companies move fastest because they already know how to defend a number when finance leadership pushes back.
Beyond the daily, we regularly place specialists in FX hedging program administration, debt and intercompany loan tracking, treasury management system rollouts (Kyriba, GTreasury, Coupa, ION Reval), and Sarbanes-Oxley control documentation for treasury processes. Senior searches close more slowly. We’ll tell you what timeline is realistic before you commit to a search plan.
Match the engagement to what the work actually is
Three models. Each one built for a different situation.
Contract is the right call when the work has a defined end. A TMS implementation, a covenant remediation project, audit support, parental leave coverage for the treasury seat. You get a qualified analyst without the salary commitment. See how contract staffing works for finance roles.
Contract-to-hire fits when headcount isn’t approved yet but the work is already on the desk. Or when you want to watch someone close a month-end before you commit. Sixty or 90 days, a clear conversion price up front, no surprises. Learn more about contract-to-hire staffing.
Direct hire is for the analyst who’s staying. Senior treasury analysts, treasury managers, assistant treasurers. We run the full search, make the placement, and back it with a replacement guarantee. More on direct-hire staffing if you’re not sure what that guarantee looks like in practice.
If you’re not sure which fits, that’s fine. Describe the situation and we’ll tell you which model we’d pick.
Treasury analyst profiles we fill every month
Four profile types we place on a recurring basis, plus the specialty searches that come in when the standard pipeline isn’t enough.
Treasury Analysts
Daily cash positioning, 13-week forecast updates, wire and ACH approvals, sweep moves, and the bank reporting package. Usually 2 to 4 years of experience, strong Excel, and a working knowledge of one TMS.
Senior Treasury Analysts
Covenant compliance, intercompany loan tracking, FX exposure quantification, and the monthly lender reporting deck. Typically 4 to 7 years and comfortable presenting to the CFO without a translator.
FX & Hedging Analysts
Forward and option program administration across multiple currencies, exposure modeling, settlements with counterparty banks, and ASC 815 hedge documentation. CFA candidates are common in this profile.
Treasury Managers
Full ownership of the treasury function for a single legal entity or division. Bank relationship management, RCF administration, TMS roadmap, and direct supervision of one or two analysts. 7 to 10 years and a CTP is common.
Also placing assistant treasurers, cash management analysts, debt compliance analysts, and treasury operations leads. For broader finance seats see financial analyst staffing, FP&A staffing, and finance manager staffing. For closing-side and controllership talent see controller staffing and CPA staffing. For commercial and consumer credit underwriting work that sits adjacent to treasury and covenant reporting, see credit analyst staffing. Need a finance leader above analyst level? See fractional CFO services.
How we screen treasury analysts
Five steps. Usually inside a week. No ceremony, just relevance.
- 01Intake call. Thirty minutes. We map the technical scope, comp band, reporting structure, and the one thing that usually sinks these searches. Which TMS, which banks, what’s the debt picture, and who actually owns the covenant memo on day one.
- 02Sourcing. Active bench first. Warm referrals from prior placements second. Targeted outreach to passive candidates third. We don’t start with job boards and we don’t spray resumes.
- 03Technical screen. A finance-specialist recruiter talks to every candidate. We test Excel and TMS fluency (Kyriba, GTreasury, Coupa, ION), bank platform familiarity, and whether their FX or debt experience matches what you described. Generic finance backgrounds get filtered out here.
- 04Reference calls. Two references, both direct managers where possible. We make the calls ourselves. Anything that doesn’t add up, we flag before you see the resume.
- 05Submittal. Two to four qualified candidates with written assessments. You see why each one fits, not just their job history.
Common Questions
How much does treasury analyst staffing cost?
Contract treasury analysts bill at a loaded hourly rate based on level and market. Direct-hire placements run a fee of 20% to 25% of first-year base salary, quoted before the search begins.
Mid-level treasury analysts in Orange County and Los Angeles are billing around $50 to $75 an hour contract, or $85K to $115K direct hire. Senior treasury analysts and treasury managers run higher, especially for candidates with CTP credentials or live TMS implementation experience. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, the median annual wage for financial analysts (which includes treasury) was $99,890 in 2024, with the top 25% earning above $136K. Direct-hire placements carry a replacement guarantee. We quote the flat percentage before we start, not after.
How long does it take to fill a treasury analyst position?
Our average time-to-fill for treasury analyst roles is 17 days. Mid-level cash management searches close faster. Senior treasury and FX hedging searches with CTP requirements trend toward 3 to 4 weeks.
The biggest variable isn’t sourcing. It’s interview scheduling and the technical second round. Hiring teams that block 30-minute screens in the first 48 hours, and follow with a focused 60-minute technical conversation, close fastest. Searches that drift past two weeks usually lose a top candidate to a competing offer somewhere in the process. We’ll tell you what’s realistic before we start.
What does a treasury analyst actually do day to day?
A treasury analyst owns daily cash positioning, the 13-week cash forecast, wire and ACH approvals, short-term investment moves, bank account administration, and the monthly debt covenant package. Senior analysts add FX hedging, intercompany funding, and lender reporting.
The mix shifts by company. At a SaaS company with $80M in the bank and no debt, the seat is cash forecasting, sweep moves, and ICS portal management. At a PE-backed manufacturer with a $200M term loan and a revolver, the seat is covenant compliance, intercompany loan tracking, and the monthly bank deck. We ask what the seat is before we send candidates, not after.
Do treasury analyst candidates need a CTP or CFA?
Credentials are not required for most treasury analyst roles. The Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) is preferred at the senior analyst and treasury manager level. CFA is rare except in companies with active hedging programs or investment portfolio management.
The Financial Professionals (formerly AFP), which administers the CTP, reports steady growth in certified treasury talent year over year. In practice, what matters more is whether the candidate has owned a 13-week cash forecast, settled FX trades, or sat across the table from a lender during a covenant conversation. Real reps beat any certificate.
Can you place treasury analysts who know specific TMS platforms?
Yes. We regularly place candidates with hands-on Kyriba, GTreasury, Coupa Treasury, ION Reval, and ICD Portal experience, plus bank platform familiarity across JPMorgan Access, BAML CashPro, Wells Fargo CEO, and Citi CitiDirect.
TMS-specific searches usually take an extra week or two because the active candidate pool is smaller. We tell you up front whether the platform requirement is going to slow the search materially, and where the realistic candidate cluster lives geographically. A Kyriba-trained analyst is easier to find in Irvine and Houston than in Boise. We’ll be candid about it.
Should I hire a contract treasury analyst or a full-time one?
Hire contract when the work has a defined end or when headcount isn’t approved yet. Hire full-time when the analyst will own the daily cash position, present to the CFO, and build institutional knowledge across multiple covenant cycles.
Contract-to-hire splits the difference. You get a working trial of 60 or 90 days and the option to convert at a fixed fee once you’ve seen performance in your environment. The trial model works especially well for treasury roles where the first month-end and the first covenant certificate are the real interview. The McKinsey workforce research shows flexible hiring arrangements growing fastest in mid-market finance functions, particularly in companies under $500M in revenue where the treasury seat often doubles up with FP&A.
What industries do you place treasury analysts in?
Most of our treasury placements are in technology, healthcare, manufacturing, real estate, retail, and hospitality. Mid-market PE-backed companies between $200M and $2B in revenue make up the largest cluster, followed by publicly held companies with multi-entity treasury operations.
Industry context matters. A SaaS treasury analyst is modeling runway and cash burn, not FX. A multi-entity healthcare system is moving cash between hospital corporations and reconciling intercompany loans every week. A manufacturer is managing forward hedges and settling supplier payments across three currencies. We match candidates to industry context, not just job title. That’s a meaningful part of why our 12-month retention runs at 92% across finance placements. For finance and tech crossover roles at fintech employers, see our fintech staffing practice.
