Bank treasurer to bank account manager
A bank treasurer already meets 57% of what the bank account manager role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.
48.6/ 100
1 How much of what a bank account manager is expected to do is already part of a bank treasurer’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the bank account manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A bank account manager role treats 11 of its required skills as things a bank treasurer already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- advise on financial matters
- analyse financial performance of a company
- banking activities
- corporate social responsibility
- create a financial plan
- enforce financial policies
What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bank account manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bank treasurer background worth leading with.
- already held produce statistical financial records information skills
- already held enforce financial policies management skills
- already held financial analysis business, administration and law
- already held maintain records of financial transactions information skills
- already held trace financial transactions information skills
- already held communicate with banking professionals communication, collaboration and creativity
All 23 carried skills, including the 11 the bank account manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
