Financial Analyst

A Financial Analyst interprets financial data and provides recommendations on financial activity. You might look at general financial markets or examine the financial transactions of a large company or organisation. Financial Analysts look for trends in markets and provide advice on the best way to address issues or make the most of financial circumstances.

Financial Analysts require strong analytical skills and must be able to pay attention to small details. It’s important you can understand and interpret large amounts of data and come up with strategies or advice. Financial Analysts should have good communication skills and be able to work as part of a larger team.
