Job Overview

A Financial Analyst’s primary role is to analyze the past and present financial data of the organization and estimate future revenues and expenditures. Their duties include predicting the return on investment for different stocks and business ventures, writing financial reports, and collecting industry research to inform decision making. Financial Analysts gather data to understand the trends affecting a specific type of product, geographical region, or industry to help their clients make important investment decisions.

Financial Analysts typically work at banks, consulting firms, mutual funds, and corporations to generate wise investment strategies and support overall financial growth and stability. They report to a supervisor or manager. In most cases, a Financial Analyst needs at least some experience working in the finance or investment banking sectors before entering this position. A master’s degree in business administration or finance can prove an applicant’s knowledge in the field, which might be able to substitute for any experience requirements.
