It’s a versatile field that can range from advising individuals on their personal accounting, to working with multinational corporations on their capital efficiency.Financial Consultants can specialize in:

• Investment advice, helping companies and individual investors optimize their portfolios
• Insurance consultancy, helping their clients choose the best investment package based on their needs
• Accounting, where they might focus on budget optimisation, taxation, or improving the compensation strategy of a company
• Corporate finance, in other words: raising capital, increasing shareholder value, or overseeing mergers and acquisitions

A large part of financial consulting is conducting analysis on the financial health of an account and forecasting the risks and gains of potential financial decisions. Professionals in this field provide key information for decision makers to rely on for their long-term financial decisions.
