The administrative and financial sector includes, among others: accounting, human resources, payroll, controlling, audit, risk management, administration, as well as investment and finance departments. People working in this industry plan, organize and coordinate activities related to finance and administration, as well as cost control, budgeting, financial analysis, customer service and the preparation and analysis of various types of reports and documents. The administrative and financial sector is important for almost every company, because it allows you to maintain financial liquidity and smooth functioning of the entire organization. Working in this industry requires not only knowledge of finance and management, but also analytical, organizational and interpersonal skills.
