Treasury Managers are essential members of any finance team. They manage cash flow, support liquidity planning, and help businesses make informed decisions about financial risks, reconciliations and foreign exchange.

Whether you’re hiring for a new Treasury Manager job or benchmarking your team, you’ll need to understand the average salary, salary range and market expectations.

At Brewer Morris, we specialise in corporate treasury recruitment globally. As part of The SR Group, our consultants combine local market knowledge with international reach. We work with businesses across the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States and beyond to find high-calibre treasury professionals.

A Treasury Manager supports treasury operations and financial strategy. The job description typically includes:

  • Cash flow forecasting and liquidity management
  • Cash management and reconciliations
  • Supporting treasury management systems (TMS)
  • Monitoring FX exposure and hedging
  • Preparing reports for internal stakeholders
  • Supporting automation and process improvement
  • Ensuring compliance with financial regulations

Treasury Managers often work full-time and collaborate closely with senior stakeholders across finance, tax and risk management. Strong problem-solving skills, communication skills and Excel proficiency are essential.

Many roles require experience in treasury systems, treasury policy and banking relationships. Some Treasury Managers progress from roles such as treasury accountant or finance manager, and work closely with the CFO or corporate treasurer.

  • Treasury Manager: 60,000 – 100,000
  • Senior Treasury Manager: 95,000 – 125,000
  • Group Treasurer: 160,000 – 285,000

London offers the highest total compensation, but other cities and regional hubs also provide competitive packages, especially for professionals with ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualifications. Roles often include oversight of debt management, cash flow forecasting and financial reporting.

  • Treasury Manager: 85,000 – 110,000
  • Senior Treasury Manager: 110,000 – 140,000
  • Group Treasurer: 160,000 – 250,000

Treasury roles across Europe (such as Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) are evolving, with many companies centralising or offshoring treasury functions. This has increased demand for professionals with strong treasury experience, treasury systems knowledge, and exposure to financial services and financial markets.

  • Treasury Manager: 95,000 – 130,000
  • Senior Treasury Manager: 130,000 – 160,000
  • Group Treasurer: 200,000 – 300,000

New York leads in compensation due to its financial market size and cost of living. Regional hubs like Orlando and Texas offer competitive salaries, particularly in sectors like financial services. The average Treasury Manager salary reflects years of experience, industry and job title.

Several factors affect base salary and total pay:

  • Years of experience
  • Location
  • Industry
  • Certifications (e.g. CTPCFAACTACAACCACIMA)
  • Skills in TMS, Excel, and automation
  • Education level
  • Company size
  • Scope of treasury roles (e.g. cash management, hedging, forecasting)

Benchmarking salaries by percentile (25th, 75th) helps employers and candidates understand market positioning. Job alerts and search platforms often show wide salary ranges depending on job title, region, and sector.

Interim Treasury Managers are hired to support short-term needs such as system implementations, refinancing projects, parental leave cover or urgent liquidity reviews. These roles are common in businesses undergoing transformation, M&A activity or treasury restructuring.

Day rates vary by location and seniority:

  • United Kingdom: 500 – 850 GBP per day
  • Europe: 450 – 700 EUR per day
  • United States: 600 – 950 USD per day

Interim professionals are expected to deliver quickly, often with experience in treasury management systems, cash flow modelling and stakeholder reporting. Many employers use interim hiring to bridge gaps before permanent recruitment or to test new structures.

The typical path for the role is:

  • Treasury Manager
  • Senior Treasury Manager
  • Assistant Treasurer
  • Group Treasurer
  • Global Treasurer

Career progression depends on technical ability, stakeholder engagement and exposure to strategic projects. Treasury Managers who contribute to risk management, cash flow forecasting and treasury transformation often move up faster. Many also transition into broader roles such as Corporate Treasurer or Finance Manager, especially in global organisations.
