ICP Intelligence February 2026: Treasurer

Role in Finance & Legal

What are the most significant emerging challenges for Treasurers? Treasurers are experiencing a notable shift in their operational focus, with a sharp decline in 'Stakeholder' engagement (-2.00) and 'Narrative' focus (-1.00) over the past six months, while 'Data' (+1.67) and 'Risk' (+0.67) factors are on the rise. This indicates a pivot towards more data-driven risk management, a trend underscored by their new top pain point: "FP&A processes that take too long." This persona is actively seeking solutions to enhance the speed, timeliness, and accuracy of financial planning and analysis, moving away from previous concerns about interest rate impacts. The recent increase in corpus activity (1 of 4 transcripts in the last 6 months) suggests a growing engagement with these new, more internally focused challenges.
