The Always Be Funding site seeks to unite treasury management and financial history in one place. It is to help people better understand the wonders of corporate and personal cash management. Also, to shed more light on the role that finance plays in history. One of the main reasons for the site is to help prepare aspiring treasury professionals pass the Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) exam. It is administered by the Association of Financial Professionals (AFP). Do you wonder how your credit card transaction are approved? What government agencies regulate banks? Why do we have a Federal Reserve? Where is the Bank of International Settlements located? If you do, then this is the place for you!

Hello, I am Matthew Doughty and I am a CTP working as a Treasury Operations Manager at SoFi (yes, the one whose name is on the stadium in Los Angeles). I have over 9 years experience in the field and over 14 years in the finance industry. I have a fascination with history and geography but noticed there are not many books, blogs, articles, etc., devoted to the role of banking or the people and places that helped shaped the world. Please explore the site and enjoy the journey!!
