Corporate finance
What is it like to work in Corporate finance?
Corporate finance professionals are responsible for the day-to-day financial and accounting practices of organisations. This involves the development of short- and long-term financial business goals, and organising and controlling capital investment decisions. Such decisions include whether to pursue a proposed investment, whether to pay for the investment with equity, debt, or a hybrid of both; and whether shareholders should receive dividends.Employment level (thousands)
