Robert DeCusati had several career options when he graduated with a
BS degree in Finance from Fairfield University. Throughout the course of
his career as an accounting and financial professional, advisor, and
manager, he found himself in positions with increasing responsibilities.
These promotions created opportunities throughout the United States.
Bob noted that those who sign up for a corporate career may face
difficult relocation choices at various times as you progress up the
ladder and those choices often have significant impacts for family and
relationships. . Other than the financial manager avenue that Bob
DeCusati chose, there are other career options for those seeking to
enter the financial sector workforce:
- Financial Planning. For those who love strategy and building financial portfolios to help clients achieve their financial goals, financial planning is an excellent career option. You can get started in many companies, including banks, mutual fund management companies, insurance companies, and securities firms.
- Broker. Another name for a financial advisor, brokers work with individual and institutional customers of particular organizations to provide for them the financial help and services they need to manage their portfolios and more. You will need strong interpersonal communication skills and an unusual ability to clearly articulate complex financial products and ideas to customers on a regular basis.
- Claims adjuster. Most people equate claims adjusters with insurance companies, but banks and large retail companies also employ claims adjusters to ensure that clients’ claims match the company’s eligibility standards. They prepare documentation and reasoning behind the denial or approval of customer claims as well, so a meticulous eye for detail is required.
