The job role that I would like to prefer is of Financial Analyst. In this role the
responsibility of the person is to analyse the financial statements and according making
the future projections of the company. This include financial modelling in which the
revenue and expenditure are forecasted. Analysing the financial statement helps to find
the market trends. Through this the comparison between the actual and the forecasted can
be made to find the variances between them (Georgiou, Mantzari and Mundy, 2021).
Accordingly, the decision is made by the management to improve it in long run. Apart

private equity and management of portfolio.
2. Reasons for selecting role of Financial Analyst

has wider scope and growth opportunities. Inspite of professional growth their will
