Payroll administrator

Payroll administrators make sure people are paid the right amount, on time, with the correct deductions and records behind it. The role runs on a fixed cycle that cannot slip, and it carries real consequences when something is wrong, so accuracy and confidentiality are central.

Internal auditor

Internal auditors work inside an organisation, testing whether its controls and processes actually operate the way they are meant to. Findings normally go to senior management and an audit committee rather than to outside investors, and the work covers operational and compliance areas as well as financial ones.

External auditor

External auditors are engaged from outside an organisation to examine its financial statements and report whether they are fairly presented under the applicable framework. Work is organised into client engagements with concentrated reporting deadlines, and signing an audit opinion is a regulated act in many places.

Tax preparer

Tax preparers complete tax returns for individuals and small businesses from the records a client supplies, applying the rules in force for that filing period. The work is concentrated around filing deadlines and involves a lot of client contact, since the hardest part is usually getting complete and accurate information.

Tax accountant

Tax accountants handle the tax position of businesses and individuals with more complex affairs: compliance filings, provisions in the accounts, and advice on how planned transactions will be treated. A large part of the job is reading legislation and guidance carefully and applying it to a specific set of facts.

Financial analyst

Financial analysts pull together financial and operating information so an organisation can judge how it is performing and what a decision would cost. Much of the day is spent in models and reporting tools, but the output is usually a recommendation someone has to be able to follow and challenge.

Investment analyst

Investment analysts research companies, sectors, or instruments and form a view on what they are worth and what could change that. The output is usually a written recommendation supported by a valuation model, defended in front of portfolio managers, clients, or an investment committee.

Portfolio manager

Portfolio managers decide what a pool of money is invested in, within the mandate and risk limits agreed with clients or trustees. The role carries accountability for outcomes that are not fully controllable, and a large share of the work is explaining positioning and decisions to the people whose money it is.

Financial advisor

Financial advisors help people decide what to do with their money across saving, investing, protection, and retirement. The advice is regulated in most places, so the job involves documented suitability assessments and disclosures as well as conversations about goals and risk.

Financial planner

Financial planners build long-range plans that pull saving, retirement, tax, protection, and estate considerations into one picture. The role overlaps with financial advising but is planning-led: the deliverable is a written plan with prioritised actions, often coordinated with a client's accountant or lawyer.

Bank teller

Bank tellers handle everyday transactions at a branch counter and are usually the first person a customer speaks to. The work is fast, procedural, and closely controlled, because every transaction has to balance and identity and authorisation checks are not optional.

Personal banker

Personal bankers look after a set of retail customers, reviewing their accounts and arranging products such as savings, everyday lending, and insurance referrals. The role blends advice and sales, and it is bounded by suitability, disclosure, and record-keeping requirements.

Loan officer

Loan officers assess applications for credit and decide, or recommend, whether the lender should extend it and on what terms. The job sits between customer contact and credit discipline: the same file has to make sense to the borrower and hold up under audit.

Mortgage broker

Mortgage brokers act between borrowers and lenders, matching a borrower's circumstances to products available across several lenders and taking the application through to completion. Because the advice is regulated in most places, disclosure of how the broker is paid and why a product was recommended is part of the job.

Credit analyst

Credit analysts work out how likely a borrower or counterparty is to meet its obligations, and what the lender should require in return for taking that chance. The output is a written credit assessment that a committee can challenge, so the reasoning has to be explicit rather than intuitive.

Insurance underwriter

Insurance underwriters decide whether an insurer will take on a risk, on what terms, and at what price, working within guidelines and a delegated authority. The judgement is about the specific case in front of them, informed by data and policy wording rather than by a fixed formula.

Insurance claims adjuster

Claims adjusters investigate what happened, check it against the policy, and decide what the insurer owes. People are often dealing with a loss when they call, so the role needs both careful evidence work and the ability to hold a difficult conversation clearly.

Insurance broker

Insurance brokers work for the client rather than the insurer, finding cover that fits what a person or business actually needs to protect. The job is part technical, understanding wordings and exclusions, and part relationship work, since renewals and claims support are where the value shows.

Actuary

Actuaries model uncertain future events such as claims, mortality, or longevity, and translate them into prices, reserves, and capital requirements. Qualification usually runs through a long series of professional examinations taken while working, and much of the job is defending assumptions rather than running models.

Risk analyst

Risk analysts identify what could go wrong for a portfolio or business line, measure how exposed it is, and make sure the people accountable actually see that picture. The role is analytical but also political: the findings are frequently unwelcome to the teams generating the exposure.

Anti-money-laundering analyst

Anti-money-laundering analysts review customers and transactions for signs of financial crime and decide which cases need to be escalated or reported. Most alerts turn out to have an ordinary explanation, so the skill is in investigating efficiently and writing up the reasoning so it survives regulatory scrutiny.

Treasury analyst

Treasury analysts manage the money an organisation actually has moving: forecasting cash, funding shortfalls, investing surpluses, and keeping banking arrangements working. The work is time-critical, since a funding gap or a missed payment window has immediate consequences.

Financial controller

Financial controllers run the accounting function: the close timetable, the reporting that comes out of it, the controls around it, and the team doing the work. The role is accountable for whether reported numbers are right, which makes it as much about process and people as about accounting technique.

Policy analyst

Policy analysts research a public problem, set out the options a government or agency could choose between, and write up the trade-offs so decision-makers can choose with their eyes open. Much of the work is reading, interviewing, and drafting, and the output is usually a briefing note, an options paper, or a submission that has to survive scrutiny.
