A bachelor’s degree in finance, economics, accounting, or a related field is often expected; some senior positions prefer an advanced degree or professional credentials. Valuable skills include financial statement analysis, quantitative reasoning, knowledge of credit regulations, data and risk-modeling tools, clear communication, and sound judgment.
