If you talk to any veteran of the business finance world, they will tell you that the best thing to have on your post-graduation resume is an internship. Those with marketable, business finance experience are most likely to get a job quickly after graduation – or before, if they’re one of the lucky few.
Business finance is the practice of taking a business’s financial information and managing those funds in order to make the business more profitable. Jobs and internships in this field may include reading balance and cash flow statements and then determining reasons for loss and strategizing for profit.
You may find jobs in the business finance field at financial institutions or within the financial department of a large corporation. Unpaid internships and paid internships will be no different.
