Finance B.S.B.

Finance professionals are curious, researching and understanding firms and markets.
Finance professionals are strong communicators, helping colleagues understand the financial implications of their business decisions and investment opportunities.
Finance professionals are comfortable with ambiguity, recognizing and quantifying the economic impact of risk and uncertainty.
