6 Must Know Non-Financial Skills in Finance


4. Problem solving skills

Problems are a part of life and it is impossible to avoid them. Thus, problem solving is a must-needed skill required for finance professionals. People can come up with different issues and there are very few finance professionals available, who can step up and provide creative solutions to solve problems. Managers always appreciate the employees who look beyond their basic responsibilities and help their colleagues solve problems instead of coming back to them with confusion.  A good problem solver will always discover creative solutions using very few resources. If you turn out to be the best problem solver you will be appreciated well in your field.

5. Technological skills

As the saying goes “Time is Money”, you need to accomplish certain tasks on time to make profit. The better your technological skills, the faster you can perform tasks. Still there are people who do not have skills in newer technology. If you can work pivot tables, databases, and the like, other finance managers will want you on their teams. Workplace doesn’t matter anymore the only thing needed is to be proficient with computer hardware and software so that you will be able to pick up new programs related to your job quickly. The more shortcuts, keys, programs and functions you know in Excel, the better you will be in finance.

6. Project management skills

Any task that takes more than a few minutes is essentially a project, one that you will need to manage effectively in finance. Time management is all about prioritization and making the most of available time to accomplish a task. Thus, you will need to effectively schedule your time, manage budgets, meet deadlines and get your work done on time to complete your project successfully. Staying organized and paying attention during and after project is also a key to success.
