Marcie Wilmot

"I've always been analytical and someone who enjoys math and numbers. So by the time I went to college, I knew I wanted to do something in the financial field. I felt pulled between becoming an accountant or a financial analyst. Ultimately, I decided that being a financial analyst appealed to me more because I enjoy making predictions about the future. I like the idea that I can help direct the course of the company and the business. So I see myself staying in this type of role going forward because it really suits me. Also, working for a fintech startup like yours as a financial analyst really excites me because I know I'll be able to directly see the impact of my work."
