FP&A at a regional bank vs. Treasury at global PE firm?
deciding between sticking to FP&A role at current regional bank broker dealer role vs taking opportunity as treasury associate at large global well known PE firm. any and all responses much appreciated.
what’s the treasury job description? it really depends on what group you’re in. I’ve worked in both. pros/cons to each. but I found that treasury was a bit more pigeon-holing and after about 6 months I was screaming inside. fp&a is usually more accounting than you’d probably want to deal with, but also dependent on the job description. fp&a had more exit opps for me because forecasting/budgeting seemed to be a big interview talking point and valueable knowledge for other positions, moreso than what the rate on your company’s cash investments are (as in treasury). private msg me if you want
not sure how to private message, I put a comment below, new to the game here!
FYI it’s at Bain Capital credit: job description:
• Interact with the funds’ trustees, custodians, and prime brokers regarding cash availability and funding requirements across numerous currencies. • Daily and weekly reporting on cash balances, collateral posted, and prime brokerage requirements to senior management. • Assist with ongoing bank and counterparty administration including opening and closing of accounts and credit lines. • Daily tracking of cash activity and calculation of daily cash projections incorporating trades and other cash impacts such as upcoming interest and funding needs. • Reconciliation of collateral and maintaining appropriate collateral levels with counterparties. • Daily FX and duration hedging reporting. • Daily processing of high priority wire activity • Time sensitive ad hoc responsibilities as various requests arise, usually cash and management reporting oriented.
FP&A is certainly very interesting but very tempted by Bain Capital as a firm. thanks so much for the guidance!
