Employers within the banking, accounting and financial services sector look for candidates who possess a number of key skills and qualities to ensure that their selection will be one of the best.

As an Accounts/Finance professional, there are a number of key skills and personal attributes that everybody desire to have. A few of them are:

·         excellent communications skills, both verbally and orally

·         good all-round IT skills

·         sensitivity and integrity yet assertive at the same time

·         an analytical and logical approach to problem solving

·         commercial awareness and interest in your chosen field

·         ability to work on your own initiative

·         motivated and ambitious

 

Some positions will require all of these attributes in addition to a very specific skill set. For instance,

Investment Analysts need to be politically and economically aware whilst being fully versed in all aspects of finance.

Stock Broker’s rely upon their expressive and strong interpersonal skills to forge highly profitable working relationships with their clients who in turn will trust them with their stocks and other investments.

And Accountants will be expected to have a greater understanding of and ability to deal with highly complex information.
