Marking Amaechi

Literacy Achievement Coach @ Nottingham Trent University

About

As a recent First Class graduate in Accounting & Finance and Business Management, I’m looking to apply my academic and practical experience across entry-level roles in asset management, wealth management, consulting, and broader business environments. During my degree, I developed a strong foundation in corporate finance, financial management, and international marketing. My dissertation on capital structure optimisation strengthened my interest in long-term financial strategy and investment-focused decision making. I also completed an Asset Management Audit internship with Mazars, gaining exposure to financial reporting, data analysis, and professional client-facing work within a structured financial environment. Alongside this, I’ve worked in fast-paced customer-facing roles that strengthened my communication, resilience, and relationship-building skills. I’m confident using Excel and continue developing my analytical and portfolio analysis skills through independent learning. I’m now looking to join a team where I can contribute, learn quickly, and develop within a fast-paced and forward-thinking business environment.
