Rafael Andrade, CTP

I came from public accounting. While still within finance, treasury is totally different. When I came to treasury I really needed to get away from the looking back mentality of auditing. When you're an accountant you look at historical data.

Taking the CTP really allowed me to put that accounting mentality behind and really jump into treasury with my feet running.

In other words, the accreditation allowed me to demonstrate my commitment and passion for the treasury profession.
