one last question?
With Muzzo, you set the fee, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire: no deposit, no fixed fees. A treasury analyst preparing forecasts for an SME and a group treasurer negotiating funding globally don't take the same search. The fee follows that difficulty, and the Muzzo team helps you set it.
You have a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, for example because the real scope doesn't match the brief, we restart the search at no cost. If we find no replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
a treasurer is judged by the cash position they avoid seeing run short
a good treasurer already negotiates his credit lines. He isn't job hunting.
He tracks cash position daily and talks to multiple banks at once. He doesn't reply to job ads. A finance headhunter knows how to approach him.
a cash forecast can't be judged on a spreadsheet
The role means spotting a shortfall before it arrives and hedging currency risk before it costs real money. The headhunter tests those instincts, not just the tools.
a hiring mistake shows up in the first cash crunch
A treasurer who discovers a shortfall instead of forecasting it puts the company at risk. The headhunter checks the credit lines negotiated and the hedges in place before introducing you to anyone.
the roles
the treasury profiles our headhunters go after for you
From analyst to group treasurer, each search goes to a headhunter who has already hired that role.
treasury analyst
They track bank positions, prepare forecasts and make reconciliations reliable. Often a first role in treasury, after a finance master's.
corporate treasurer
They manage cash, short-term funding and bank relationships for an SME or mid-market firm. The most requested role.
group treasurer
They consolidate the position of several subsidiaries, centralise cash and negotiate credit lines at group level.
head of treasury
They lead the treasury team, set hedging policy for currency and interest-rate risk, and report to the finance director.
international cash manager
They manage treasury for subsidiaries in several countries, inter-company flows and local currency constraints.
the method
a finance headhunter, not an agency that does everything
Treasury is judged by cash held and risks hedged. So the method starts from what the role has to secure.
we define what the role has to secure
Daily cash, funding to negotiate, currency or interest-rate hedges to put in place: the brief describes what the treasurer has to hold, and who they answer to.
a headhunter who places treasurers
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those who place the most people in finance and treasury.
a hedging strategy verified before the interview
The headhunter asks the profile to detail a currency or interest-rate hedge they put in place, and cross-checks with references the credit lines they actually negotiated.
hiring a corporate treasurer: what you need to know
why use a headhunter to hire a corporate treasurer?
The treasurer protects the company against a silent risk: running short of cash or taking an unhedged currency hit. Good profiles are already in post, busy negotiating credit lines, and don't reply to job ads.
A finance headhunter knows how to approach them and asks the right questions: which lines negotiated, which hedges in place, which banks are partners. This page covers the treasurer role itself, distinct from overall financial leadership or credit risk.
SME treasurer or group treasurer: which profile should you hire?
An SME treasurer often holds cash, bank relationships and initial currency hedges alone; they need autonomy and good banking relations. A group treasurer consolidates several subsidiaries, centralises flows and negotiates funding at a wider level.
That choice sets the profile, not just salary. A treasury analyst preparing forecasts doesn't have the same decision weight as a group treasurer committing the company to a funding deal. Set the scope in the brief before talking pay.
treasurer, CFO or credit manager: who does what?
The treasurer manages cash, funding and currency or interest-rate hedges. The CFO leads the whole finance function, of which treasury is only part, often at board level. The credit manager focuses on customer credit risk: limits, outstanding and recovery.
In an SME, these mix sometimes on one role. In a group, each has its own holder. State in the brief who owns the bank relationship and who decides the hedges: that often tells you if you need a treasurer or a CFO holding treasury directly.
how much variable pay should a corporate treasurer earn?
According to Apec, 61% of treasury managers earn variable pay, with a median amount of €5,500 per year (2025 edition), versus 50% across all managers. Variable is usually tied to funding cost or forecast quality targets, not turnover.
Get your answer ready before the first interview: an experienced treasurer will ask what that variable actually covers and how it's measured.
how do you assess a treasurer at interview?
The CV lists treasury tools and credit lines obtained. The interview should show something else: the ability to spot a cash tension coming and fix it before it hits the board.
A short case study works: a 3-month forecast, a gap emerging, and the decision to make. The headhunter does this first screen before introducing anyone, and checks with references the credit lines they negotiated and the hedges they put in place.
your questions about hiring a corporate treasurer
Often, but modestly. According to Apec, 61% of treasury managers earn variable pay, with a median amount of €5,500 per year (2025 edition). That is less than in finance leadership or management control: treasury stays mostly a fixed-pay role.
The treasurer manages company cash and bank funding. The credit manager manages customer credit risk: limits, outstanding and recovery. A treasurer doesn't look at invoice by invoice; a credit manager doesn't negotiate credit lines. For customer credit risk, see our credit manager page.
In a small company, the CFO often keeps treasury under direct control, with no dedicated role. A dedicated treasurer makes sense when funding, currency hedges or the number of subsidiaries gets too heavy for a generalist finance director. For finance leadership, see our CFO page.
With a real case rather than a list of tools. Ask them to walk you through a cash tension they spotted or a currency hedge they put in place: the signal they caught, the decision made, the result. Our headhunters run this first test and check the credit lines they mention with references.
