Channel: Being An Analyst

[0]
hi guys welcome back to the channel i just made a聽 video talking about a day in a life of a financial聽聽
[5]
business analyst but in as i was watching the聽 video i realized most people can confuse a聽聽
[10]
business analyst with a financial business idea聽 so i decided to wait wait a second take a step聽聽
[16]
back a little bit so we took a step back and聽 on this video i'm trying to explain as much as聽聽
[22]
broad high level what is the聽 difference between a business聽聽
[25]
analyst and a financial business analyst the聽 difference between a business analyst and a聽聽
[30]
financial business seller is what we're discussing聽 less please stay tuned for the rest of the video聽聽
[41]
initially the first thing that you can realize聽 between business analysts and financial business聽聽
[46]
analysts is that they the name seem more or less聽 the same let's take business analyst for instance聽聽
[52]
if you're using the word business analyst and then聽 you put another way to front of it call it senior聽聽
[58]
business analyst you can expect that the people do聽 more or less the same thing the only difference is聽聽
[63]
one the senior guy might be doing something with聽 high level sensitivity that the junior guy might聽聽
[69]
not have access to maybe a little bit more complex聽 or a little bit bigger project might be given to聽聽
[75]
the senior guy while the junior guy doesn't do it聽 so junior business analyst business analyst and聽聽
[81]
senior finance business analyst the difference聽 might be very very very close to each other聽聽
[86]
and i used to think the same is true when you聽 put another name in front of a business analyst聽聽
[93]
which is financial business analysis but i'm聽 afraid it's totally different business analysts聽聽
[99]
look at requirement specification they write the聽 document learn about processes and they can become聽聽
[104]
process engineers which means you tell them about聽 this is how i do to my close arrest and they map a聽聽
[110]
process to say you first check what's missing from聽 your fridge until you go all the way to the store聽聽
[116]
and then you bring it back and they map that聽 whole process a business analyst will call out聽聽
[121]
take that process go meet with the people make聽 a business case about what do people do to make聽聽
[128]
groceries so when it comes to financial business聽 analyst their job has to do with looking at聽聽
[135]
any data that has got financial information聽 on it initially i had been called the senior聽聽
[140]
financial business analyst and i was in a聽 sales department i think the role that quite聽聽
[146]
fitted me best was sales analyst because i was聽 looking at sales data and i was analyzing that聽聽
[153]
but in this case when you called financial聽 analyst i think the reason why they took me聽聽
[159]
to the financial side it was most of our data was聽 financially related and my education was actually聽聽
[166]
leaning towards the finance side so it becomes聽 easy to call me a financial business analyst聽聽
[171]
financial business analyst looks at not just you聽 know your normal income statement that's what聽聽
[176]
financial officers does but a financial business聽 and it takes maybe surveillance is your ni聽聽
[182]
normal revenue and then they derive meaning from聽 them whether they split it further or they add聽聽
[187]
other layers into it that's what a financial聽 business analysts do so when you talk about a聽聽
[194]
day in a life of a financial business and it is聽 they might at all not be talking about process聽聽
[200]
engineering they might not be talking about聽 creating documents the only way that they would聽聽
[204]
be talking about making documents might be during聽 presentation while this is unless the first thing聽聽
[210]
that they might be talking about is collecting聽 information so that they can create a document聽聽
[215]
the other guys all they do financial business聽 unless all they do is collect the data so that聽聽
[221]
they can get reports on the other one they collect聽 information so that they can make a documentation聽聽
[228]
to say okay this project is visible we can go聽 ahead with it while the other one says this is聽聽
[233]
where you're spending most of your time that's聽 where you're spending so that's the difference聽聽
[236]
between the two and when i'm talking about the day聽 in the life of financial business analysts that聽聽
[242]
you are you are sure to see me talk about聽 data because the biggest thing that inputs聽聽
[249]
into their work is data while on the other side聽 if you were talking about business analysis as a聽聽
[254]
business analysis what does business analysts聽 do you'll hear more about going into meetings聽聽
[260]
which is the biggest thing you will hear about聽 collecting requirements daily stand-up meetings聽聽
[265]
you'll hear about all of those things those are聽 the key things that are required when it comes聽聽
[270]
to business analysis financial business analyst聽 data data data data so as people as they see it in聽聽
[278]
their mind okay we follow this that is required聽 so that's that's one of the difference between聽聽
[282]
those two so another difference is business聽 analysts most of the time they sit within iit聽聽
[289]
information technology because they help with聽 projects so you are sure to find them as a key聽聽
[296]
driver on project management financial business聽 analysts they sit within the finance side聽聽
[302]
so you are more likely to see them as聽 right hand man to some of the guys so you聽聽
[308]
you can see maybe a financial business analyst聽 as right hand woman to a financial officer聽聽
[315]
but mostly the people that needed those people聽 might be your execs or your heads of department聽聽
[321]
this is why when you talk what do you say my聽 client you're actually saying the execs because聽聽
[326]
you they were they got you know an issue to deal聽 with and then they brought it forward there's聽聽
[332]
another way the reason why i'm looking for for the聽 one for these two is because they have the name聽聽
[338]
business analyst at the end of it there's another聽 one in finance called the finance specialist聽聽
[343]
finance specialist the thin line between a finance聽 specialist and a financial business analyst聽聽
[347]
so that one we can talk about it later they do聽 more or less the same thing the only difference聽聽
[352]
is one goes out and then finds best practices聽 right best practices in that field that's what聽聽
[358]
a finance specialist does as far as i'm concerned聽 once you've found the best bra like you can still聽聽
[363]
analyze the data like financial business analyst聽 after you analyze the data and you can see where聽聽
[368]
it's going you bring in another element聽 to say but the competitor are doing this聽聽
[372]
so that layer makes you you know going into聽 financial specialist where you spend most of聽聽
[379]
the time doing it it's ten rents an hour but聽 what what's the best practice it's 25 75 right聽聽
[387]
now you know stuff like that this one in聽 natural business and it's quite interesting聽聽
[391]
because even the what's required is quite聽 different to what's required from business聽聽
[396]
analysis i think so i thought i should just make聽 this video just to clarify the difference between聽聽
[401]
the two rows they look quite similar but they're聽 not similar they're far far far different from聽聽
[406]
each other thanks guys for watching this video聽 please stay tuned for another video coming up聽聽
