Careers › Business & finance
Manages money, investments and financial risk for organisations.
Manages an organisation’s money – budgeting, investment decisions, financial risk, raising capital – usually building up from a more junior finance role rather than straight out of varsity. Overlaps with accounting but is more forward-looking (where should money go) than backward-looking (what happened to it).
This is our general description of the role and related jobs, not from an official source – it’s here to give you a fuller picture, not as a careers-counselling guarantee.
