Managing Director | Treasury Analyst

I combine practical housing treasury experience with process improvement, automation and technology to make treasury information and recurring work clearer, more controlled and easier to use.

Nimesh Desai, Managing Director | Treasury Analyst

Professional introduction

Treasury knowledge is the starting point.

I created Treasury Analyst from practical experience working within housing association treasury teams and seeing both the operational demands of treasury management and the opportunity to improve recurring processes.

Over more than a decade, I have worked across treasury operations, cash and liquidity, loan and facility administration, reporting and controls, and security and securitisation. That work has involved close coordination with finance and operational teams as well as banks, lenders, solicitors and valuers.

My approach brings that professional foundation together with process improvement and realistic technology capability. It starts with understanding how the work is performed, then strengthening the process before deciding whether automation is suitable.
