Thinking of applying for a finance role?

Before you hit “send,” make sure you’ve checked these 3 boxes:

Tailor your CV – A generic CV is a missed opportunity. Highlight the financial systems, KPIs, or reporting structures you’ve worked with.

Quantify your impact – Don’t just list duties. Use numbers: “Reduced costs by 18%…” or “Managed £2.5M budget.”

Research the company – Know their latest news, clients, and leadership. It shows you care — and helps you stand out.

Bonus: Ask yourself, “Can I articulate why this role at this company?” That’s your interview edge.
