What sort of knowledge do i need in order to be a financial analyst? |
i have this interview next month for the possision "financial analyst" but i need to be prepared, how can i imrove my chances in getting this job? i already have a bachelor in economics + masters in business management i had some accounting principiles in my bachelor study, but i can barely remeber it ... thank for your advices in advance Read up on the job functions related to financial analysts. Typically the acocuntant compile the financial statements and the financial analysts explain variance in numbers. Variances can be actual to prior period actual or actual to budget or plan. To answer these questions this requires the analyst to"drill" into the numbers to investigate and understand the drivers causing the variances. You will need to be familiar with the general ledger system, Excel Word and possible Access. Good Luck!

So this does not help you for next month. If your prospective employer is willing to interview you for the position and has seen your resume, they are probably planning to train you. I recommend you show a keen interest in the work. If you don't have a keen interest, don't take the job. Always pursue some work you can love, and you will grow to be very good at it. You will also enjoy your work; this is crucial considering how much of your life you will spend doing it! read wjs too |
