  1. Hi Lata

    Thank you very much for your note. We can help introduce to the topic and the product, but the hard work is something that you would really have to do (like going out and pitching your resume and learning and practicing treasury and treasury products related concepts on our site. Please take a look at the treasury operations course and the pricing and valuation courses as a starter.

    Warm regards
