Sir I'm an ACCA memeber and Finance bachelor with 6 years of typical accounting tasks and have minimum experience of budget and forecasting as well, now I want to completely shift to Financial analyst roles, but when applying no response, so how can I get into it, should I do some Udemy FA course and highlight in my resume and link them with my current roles responsibilities, Kindly advise?

[@nyaradzoanitabengura6819]

Thanks for the video, what are the challenges that a financial analyst might face during their first year?

[@shubhrangshuchakraborty2004]

Do we need to learn only Excel for becoming a Financial Analyst or do we also need to learn skills like Python SQL Tableau etc of Data Analytics?

[@siddheshabnave2101]

Excel is must

[@harshalh3513]

Thanks man! Really helped me land a job

[@NashTheo]

Great to hear!

[@ClutchCityRips]

right on point sir!

Such an amazing video!!

[@NashTheo]

Thank you!!

[@ImranQureshi-mf2gc]

Can you talk about whether the CFA license is required for a Financial Analyst position or is it optional? Also, I want to know if taking the CFA exam is necessary for Finance majors.

[@NashTheo]

Will definitely make a video on this!

[@ImranQureshi-mf2gc]

@@NashTheo Also do one on the CFP license as well.

[@aperkins07]

@@ImranQureshi-mf2gc financial analyst is very very broad and can mean two completely different set of responsibilities. CFP is for personal finance meaning they typically help individuals or families in planning steps to reach their own financial goals. In other words, for personal financial advisors, this means going out to clients, building up your clientele, reviewing their finances, and steps to get them to their goals like retirement. CFA is completely different and narrows down to portfolio management usually for companies that deal with financial instruments. This may include strategies in helping funding strategies on the Treasury department or maybe other areas. Finance is a VERY BROAD field and you’d need to narrow it down to the role or area you’re trying to work in e.g. you might have an accountant or FP&A calling themselves financial analysts.

good video !!

[@NashTheo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@melc156]

Whats your advice for someone who has never been a financial analyst and would like to go into the field. For example, i have a background working in a bank.

[@NashTheo]

Learn how to use Excel, which you probably already know if you used it in banking

[@mrb6309]

Loved the video. Would love to work with you, Theo. Peace. Two Fingers.

[@NashTheo]

Thank you!

[@bulutiti4723]

Any recommendations for someone who graduated in Finance, but has no internship / prior experience ?

[@mrperez7036]

Are you a financial analyst?

[@NashTheo]

I started as a Financial Analyst, now I work as as Premium Analyst

[@melc156]

How did you start? Have a video?

[@masonwilliams1810]

This is not very “financial analyst” focused at all lmao

[@jordan7672]

Explain instead of commenting what others consider pointless. If you do not have any guidance than why post

[@P2011Sr]

It is incoherent to say that part of the pre-interview mentality includes dressing correctly for the occasion when you did not bother to do so yourself. When I am in an interview, I offer my services but sell myself with my image. The same thing happens with you; you should reconsider your wardrobe when posting a video of this nature. If you were discussing music trends, sports, or any casual topics, you would be fine.

[@themothers]

Well did the advise make sense to you? Your own ability to evaluate is crucial here.
