How do you turn a once-manual, back-office accounting setup into a proactive, globally aligned treasury function built for real value creation? In this episode, Eleanor sits down with Andrew Monkhouse, International CFO at Lockton, to unpack exactly how he's achieved that.

We dive into:

• Andrew’s career path from chartered accountant to CFO
• The post-COVID wake-up call that exposed weak spots in cash and FX processes
• Building a six-person treasury team from scratch
• How automation, a bespoke FX framework, and daily cash dashboards changed the game
• The power of uncommonly independent thinking (and why Lockton leans into it)
• Why governance isn’t boring....it’s your secret weapon
• Upskilling, vendor support, and why slow-and-steady transformation wins every time

Whether you’re a seasoned treasury professional or just wondering what a good finance transformation looks like in the real world, this episode is packed with insights, practical advice, and a few trademark laughs!
