Finance careers span accounting, analysis, banking, and investing. The right resources help you find jobs, get certified, and present your experience well.
Job Boards and Recruiters
Use Indeed, LinkedIn, and finance-specific sites (e.g., eFinancialCareers, CFA Institute job board). Many firms list on their own sites. Recruiters who specialize in finance can help for mid-level and senior roles.
Certifications
Certifications such as CPA, CFA, CFP, and CMA are valued. List them on your resume and LinkedIn. They signal expertise and commitment.
Resume Tips for Finance
Highlight your credentials and experience. Use quantified bullets: "Reduced variance by 15%," "Managed $X in assets," "Led month-end close for 5 entities." List relevant systems (ERP, Excel, Bloomberg) and any leadership or audit experience.
