Financial Analyst
Financial analysts tend to work with the overall picture. They review financial decisions based on current market trends, stated business objectives, and possible investment options. These professionals’ evaluations help determine whether a project or venture is worthy enough for investment. There are two main types of financial analysis—fundamental analysis and technical analysis.
Financial controller
A main function for a financial controller is the preparation of financial reports that summarize or forecast an organization’s financial position. On some occasions, the controller would assist his company’s outside auditors when they prepare an annual report. The controller would also be responsible for preparing special reports for regulators, governmental agencies and banks. Generally, the controller oversees a company’s accounting function and conducts internal audits. In most cases, the controller’s reports are prepared for the company’s executive management team.
