Dear Morgan McKinley Recruitment Team,

I am writing to express my interest in the Financial Analyst position at Morgan McKinley. As a recent MSc Finance graduate, I am excited about the opportunity to apply my academic knowledge and analytical skills to support financial analysis, modeling, and reporting within a dynamic organization.

Throughout my master’s program, I gained comprehensive knowledge in financial analysis, accounting principles, and financial modeling. My coursework provided me with a strong foundation in gap analysis, driver cost models, and the development of financial forecasts. Additionally, my dissertation focused on the impacts of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which allowed me to gain practical experience in analyzing complex financial data and deriving meaningful insights.

The responsibilities outlined for the Financial Analyst role, such as conducting financial analyses, providing insights to leadership, and supporting business partners in making informed decisions, align closely with my academic background and career aspirations. I am particularly drawn to the opportunity to develop OKRs with support from a manager, identify potential financial issues and risks, and connect variances to business operational metrics.

During my academic journey, I worked extensively with Excel and financial analysis tools, enabling me to build and maintain financial models that track spending, plan forecasts, and drive operational excellence. My strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to communicate complex financial information clearly and effectively will allow me to contribute positively to your FP&A team.

I am highly motivated, detail-oriented, and possess strong time management skills. My ability to work both independently and as part of a team has been demonstrated through various academic projects and group work. I am confident that my skills and enthusiasm for financial analysis make me a strong candidate for this role.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my academic achievements, analytical skills, and passion for finance can contribute to the success of Morgan McKinley.
