Hi,

Actually even im interested in going for a career in Finance; especially manufacturing industries coz i feel our subjects like SFM and AMA are applied in a full fledged manner.there...To be a good finance executive, we should have good analytical skills, in depth knowledge of SFM and AMA, coz its full of decision making....Nature of job would be like

1 Preparing budgets and estimates

2. planning, controlling and supervising finance matters - cash flow estimation, profitability analysis, project evaluaiton, debtors creditors working capital and inventory management, payroll

3. Complex issues - Capital exp planning, reducing tax burden, expansion & diversification, merger & acquisition, term loans... n lot lot more....

We need to develop the skill to work on the above aspects.

I also suggest u interact with CAs in finance job to know more....
