892 Financial Analyst Reviews

"The main reason that I became a financial analyst was to help people to deal with their money. It is really quite amazing how little most people know about looking after their money and it really isn't their fault, nobody teaches them. This is the biggest thing that got me into this career; I wanted to learn more about how to manage my own money. This required me taking a number of courses which soon put me on the path to becoming a financial advisor. It was also pretty obvious that a lot of people desperately needed help which is something that I really wanted to do. The biggest part of my job is to sit down with my clients and talk to them about their financial goals; this can be really eye opening. In many cases people have goals that they have no idea how to achieve and in many cases their goals are completely unrealistic. Working with them to get them on the right track to meet their goals is a very rewarding part of the job of being a financial advisor and it is something that I really enjoy doing."

"I love numbers and data mining. I also really enjoy finding mediums to make information understandable to the people who need to use it to make decisions.I hate it when people modify accounting code processes for things without taking into account the ripple effect on reporting processes that are already available. There are often easy solutions to coding exceptions when people get together to discuss alternatives and solutions."
