Manual Overview for Job Searcher

What is the best career path to become a corporate treasurer?





career
Jason S asked:


I was a non-traditional student who is now a few years into my third career – in accounting/finance. My second career was in banking, and I am currently pursuing an MBA in finance. The question could be restated: What is the best career path for an accountant with a solid finance background to have a reasonable chance at assuming the title of Treasurer at a large (+$1 billion sales) company?

I figure if I can swing Treasurer, then I will get to the short list for CFO – who is always on the short list for CEO, the goal for all aspiring business professionals.

Thanks.

That is not necessarily the best path. Often treasurers are more finance people. Banking experience, investing experience, and maybe insurance. CFO tend to be more accounting oriented especially in manufacturing based companies. They are operational oriented. Certainly those that become CEO are operational oriented. Maybe the better place is in auditing which has a better chance to be CEO. To get to a treasury position is in investment industry.
