Being a financial analyst, how important are your communication and prioritization skills as it relates to working on a team? I come from a public accounting tax background, fast paced and heavily reliant on individual team members performing; I’d like to leverage that experience but not sure if analysts are as typically team oriented

[@FinanceUnboxed]

Hey, those two skills are critical in my opinion. You'll work in teams most if not all the time as an FA. Being able to communicate and work well with others is something you'll be judged on heavily. Similarly, prioritisation is important as you'll normally be working on multiple deliverables at the same time so being able to distinguish between important tasks and those that aren't is essential. Hope this helps 🙂

[@zachscheel3784]

@@FinanceUnboxed Wonderful, thank you for your response! If I could inquire further - how would you compare a roll of a senior in public accounting to that of a senior analyst? Commonalities I would assume would be reviewing analysts deliverables and managing day-to-day of projects, giving both upward and downward updates on state of project. I've also noticed in accounting, I've gotten quite a bit more removed from performing actions within our software however my attention to detail is on another level; as is expected of the senior role.

My question is since I’m unable to know & understand which industry I really like and want to work in, can you suggest a way to figure this out? 2. What skills are required apart from degrees/certifications like CIMA,CFA,etc to stand out from other FP&A applicants?

[@FinanceUnboxed]

Hey, 1. Think about what sectors you like to read/learn about in your spare time. This doesn't necessarily have to be finance related but could be learning about recent developments etc 2. Commercial awareness is a good skill to have. So, understanding what are the latest trends in certain sectors and consumer behaviour etc. What drives company performance in the sector. Also, MS Excel skills. Hope this helps 😀

Great advise for someone your age, but what about mid/late career switchers? I'm more qualified now than I was 20 years ago, but I don't see anyone who can switch. People will say 'they need people' or 'you are certainly qualified,' but the age discrimination in the US is unreal. There is so much help out there for 20-something or returning moms, but no one cares about the mid career folks (men particularly) with education, qualification and experience and aptitude, but if there is no brand name on the resume, you get rejected.

Hey Alex. Taking the CFA Level 1 proves your enthusiasm for building a career in Finance and naturally you'll pick up some technical skills along the way as well.

Hi Joshua, thanks for the message. I agree that finding the path you feel is right is challenging, especially as you may feel there is a large sunk cost involved going down the wrong route initially.

I suppose what I'm trying to convey is that you might not get it right the first time, but don't stress about it too much. When making the decision, think about where your strengths and interests lie and which roles offer the chance the develop a wide range of skills. You can develop a specialist skill set further down the line. Best of luck.
