FINANCIAL ANALYST (New Rochelle, NY)

Overview

Finance majors and MBAs have a strong concept of how financials work, from income statements, to P&L sheets, to Cash Flow Sheets, to efficiency ratios. Several have had analyst and manager experience.  Today, those who have finance as a key element of their career must do even more: they must use financial forecasting, decision-making, and data-trending to actually set the business strategy and not merely to implement it. In other words, financial assessment and calculation has become a true competitive advantage and leading companies expect MBAs and Finance Majors to be adept and using financial information to make powerful and dynamic decisions. This Training will reinforce what business must get from financial professionals and will introduce a number of tools and scenarios to make the financial work clearer, more strategic, and more effective.
