Why do you want a career as a budget analyst?

"I started as a junior analyst for TD Bank many years ago while completing my accounting degree. Career progression was slower than I expected which is why I moved to the government sector. There, I learned a great deal about statistics, programs, and then budget decisions that affect investments and subsidiaries. I decided to advance my degree to a Masters' degree in Accounting. This brings me to present day where I am now seeking a Senior Budget Analyst role within the scientific services industry."
