Board’s Address

Dear Members,

On behalf of the National Board of the FMAA, I would like to welcome you to the 36th Anniversary Edition of the FMAA Careers Handbook

Firstly, let me congratulate you on being excited enough about your future after University to join the FMAA. Back in 1990, when we started the organisation, we did so in a very tough economy for first time job-seekers. We didn’t come from families with lots of “connections”, so we decided to make our own with potential future employers by establishing the FMAA and creating forums through which all students, regardless of background, could meet with and talk directly to the people they wanted to work for and learn from.

In addition, the FMAA provides members with an opportunity to differentiate themselves from other potential job candidates, by providing a curated calendar of extra-curricular activities and training sessions throughout the academic year. In 2026, these opportunities, facilitated by the FMAA, are more valuable than at any time since 1990.

Contrary to popular belief, many employers are more interested in “character” and “attitude” than academic achievement A student’s character and attitudes are often best reflected in their level of participation in extra-curricular activities (on and off campus) while they are completing their degree.

In this regard, I strongly encourage you to be more than an FMAA member... become an active FMAA member and set yourself up with a competitive advantage in an increasingly competitive job-hunting market.

I wish you the best of luck for your future endeavours.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Hameister OAM | Co-Chairman and Founding President, 1990

Financial Services

The financial services industry is the backbone of the economy, as it works to move money from institutions who have it to people and businesses who need it, whilst managing potential investment risks and enabling growth. The first institutions people will think of are banks, who handle everything from your everyday spending to billion-dollar corporate deals.

Financial Services

At its core, Australia’s Financial Services Industry facilitates the flow of funds between sectors, companies and people. Major players in this industry include commercial banks, investment banks, brokerage firms and insurance companies.

Investment Banking

Investment Banks exist to provide high quality advice to large multinational institutions, governments and individuals to meet their clients’ financial goals. Traditionally, investment banks differ from commercial banks in that they do not engage in retail deposits or lending services. However, some investment banks do interrelate with commercial banks to form a multi-industry company Although investment banks deliver a diverse range of financial products, some areas of focus include mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, sales and trading, investment management and investment research.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and Acquisitions advisory is concerned with the provision of advice on transactions that may alter the ownership structure of a client’s organisation. Although the terms “mergers” and “acquisitions” are generally referenced together, they are different concepts. A merger occurs when two firms combine to create a single, new firm; and an acquisition involves one entity (the acquirer) purchasing another entity (the target). Providing such advice is only possible once certain processes are completed, such as valuation (generating a value for the target to ensure that the acquirer pays the optimum price for the company), due diligence (analysing the possibility of factors that may impact the acquisition and thus alter the target’s value) and third party negotiation with opposing advisors and lawyers

Capital Raising

The Capital Raising and Mergers and Acquisitions advisory divisions work closely together when acquiring a company, which requires clients to raise additional capital to fund the transaction. Investment banks raise capital from two markets: the equity capital market (ECM) and the debt capital market (DCM). In the ECM, capital can be generated via initial public offerings, dividend reinvestments plans and rights issues. On the other hand, DCM allows capital to be raised using methods such as bond issuance, notes and commercial paper.

Investment banks may also raise capital through a method called security underwriting. This involves investment banks acting as an intermediary between the client and investors, by purchasing their client’s newly issued securities and selling it to investors at a higher price.

Financial Services

In consideration for accepting the risk that the market to investors is unsuccessful, the investment bank will retain the profits earned from the difference in sale price and the cost price of the securities purchased from their client.

Sales and Trading

Sales and Trading involves purchasing and selling securities such as shares, bonds, and currencies on behalf of clients and the investment bank itself. The sales team is concerned with attracting customers and ensuring that the bank stays up to date with the constantly changing market. The trading team aims to buy and sell securities at the ideal price. Typical clients include institutional investors such as hedge funds, superannuation funds and other banks. Recent commentary, however, suggests that direct proprietary trading is losing its prominence in investment banks The investment bank may also act as an agent, principal, broker and market maker to coordinate transactions between private investors, institutions and the firm.

Investment Management

The Investment Management division aims to maximise capital gains or to create a source of stable income. These objectives are achieved by investing in a range of assets such as hedge funds, real assets, fixed income securities and equities This division must balance their client’s risk tolerance with their investment objectives to devise a suitable asset mix. After the creation of the portfolio, the investment management division is required to periodically track movements in the investment to ensure that it remains aligned with the client’s objectives.

Investment Research

The Investment Research division provides financial information to both clients and other divisions within the bank, to help them make informed decisions about their future. Financial reports may include trading history and previous trends, future industry developments, and financial disclosures. This information is used to create financial models to predict future cash flows and in turn, the estimated value of a security Due to the ever-changing nature of financial information, reports and recommendations will need to be frequently reviewed and updated. Research divisions are categorised into equity and fixed income research groups. Each group will further subdivide into different sectors and research related securities. Researchers gain a deep understanding and expertise in specific financial areas.

Financial Services

Business and Corporate Banking

Retail banks provide clients with banking services such as loans and transactional services. Related services include personal wealth management for owners, directors and other high net worth individuals, and protecting them against future losses.

Institutional Banking

Directed towards a retail bank’s largest corporate and government clients, institutional banking includes services providing access to equity capital markets and debt capital markets, as well as merger and acquisition advisory.

Markets

This department is responsible for all of the activities associated with financial markets. This includes stockbroking services and hedging client exposures to certain markets such as interest rates, currency and commodities. In some banks, Institutional Banking and Markets are referred to as a single division The activities of these departments are often similar to those of investment banks.

Wealth & Financial Planning and Insurance

Retail banks provide a range of services to customers with the main goal of growing and protecting wealth, as well as providing general insurance for items such as property and income.

Retail Banking

As the most visible function of banks, it involves providing retail customers with savings and transactional accounts, mortgages, personal loans, and debit and credit cards. This department includes teams across branches, call centres and support office staff. Almost everyone will have to deal with retail banking departments for their personal financial needs.

Financial Services

Commercial Banking

Known for its strength and resilience during the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Australia’s retail banking industry has proved to be a crucial service in fostering economic growth through its provision of financial credit. Clients range from small to large businesses, individuals and private clients.

Other

The risk subsector, which is typically non-customer facing, is responsible for estimating a bank’s risk in the other departments. Transactions and activities from the other departments usually need to gain approval from the risk department before they are completed. Strategy monitors and controls business processes and performance. It formulates strategies to improve these processes to achieve optimal outcomes for the bank. It can be thought of as the bank’sown internal consulting division Accounting The accounting department is responsible for monitoring, managing and improving a retail bank’s financial accounts with the overall goal of maximising customer and shareholder satisfaction. Furthermore, they ensure the bank is complying with external audit requirements.

Asset Management

Rather than lending money, asset management firms invest money on behalf of others, with the ultimate goal of growing wealth over the medium to long term. Their clients span from everyday individuals, superannuation funds, corporations, charities and even governments.

Asset Management

The asset management industry, including private equity and portfolio companies, is responsible for managing funds for individuals and companies, where these funds invest in various asset classes. The primary role of these institutions centres around making well-informed investment decisions on behalf of their clients to grow their finances, diversify their portfolios, and mitigate investment risk. With the volume of investable assets continuing to rise and changing demographics shifting asset management to centre-stage, opportunities in this field are more present than ever.

Mutual Funds

Mutual funds are managed portfolios of assets which are managed by a professional investment manager, and make up the bulk of the industry. Investors come from all aspects of life including from superannuation, retail investors, and institutions Most of the time, mutual funds are longonly and employ more conventional investment strategies. These types of funds cover a variety of asset classes, from property trusts to international shares, and have the benefit of being diversifiable and entailing low transaction costs.

Hedge Funds

Hedge funds are fund that employ unconventional investment strategies to seek higher returns Strategies include shorting stocks, risk arbitrage, and activist investing. As a result, hedge funds tend to be more risky, and investors tend to be institutional investors and high net worth individuals who are able to meet the cash threshold needed to invest in a hedge fund.

Private Equity Funds

Private equity funds focus on managing private companies. Broadly speaking, private equity funds can be separated into leveraged buyout funds (LBO) and venture capital funds (VC) An LBO fund generally borrows large amounts of money to fund purchases of companies to take private. It looks to generate returns by improving performance and selling the company later at a higher price. VC funds invest in early stage companies looking for the next big idea.

Portfolio Companies

Portfolio companies are businesses held by investment firms, with the aim of maximising longterm value. These companies typically span a variety of industries, such as retail, manufacturing, and resources, and benefit from strategic oversight and operational improvements Investment firms seek to drive value creation by optimising performance through effective management practices, expansion strategies, and operational efficiencies.

A DYNAMIC

TEAM THAT FOSTERS HIGH PERFORMANCE, CREATIVE THINKING AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Management Consulting

Management consulting firms help organisations develop creative and efficient solutions to a wide range of business challenges. Consultants advise companies using critical problem-solving and analytical skills to improve their strategic vision, streamline operations and synthesise internal processes, ultimately helping clients perform better and adapt to economic and social change.

Management Consulting

Management Consultants primarily provide advice to firms to maximise growth and improve their overall performance through achieving organisational objectives. Consultants take on an advisory role to not only identify issues and risks, but to alleviate such issues through offering strategic solutions and implementation methods As this field is dynamically growing, there are a wide array of graduate programs and some internship opportunities available for students.

The current business climate elicits the need for a fresh outlook on organisational management. A globalised economy, disruptive technologies, scarce natural resources and incumbent government regulations present unprecedented challenges to to every firm’s success While firms may have little difficulty identifying such challenges, devising feasible solutions to alleviate them is much more complex.

Industry Details

The services they provide are not confined to a single industry, client or category. They are not recruited based on a specific degree or qualification held. Location isn’t static either – because projects are typically conducted on-site, consultants are regularly required to travel interstate and overseas. This variety serves as the profession’s greatest drawcard. Consulting firms advertise a dynamic, transitional career removed from monotony, in turn attracting the brightest and most versatile talent.

Skills Involved

The best consultants are exceptional communicators They fluidly manage several stakeholder relationships at once, be they clients, colleagues, superiors or external parties. They work cohesively in teams to provide ground-breaking, innovative solutions whose results surpass those of competitors. As the Boston Consulting Group eloquently phrases it, “borrowed answers and undifferentiated strategies only achieve parity.” The aspiration of such firms is to outperform, and to do so consistently

Students who are highly articulate, intelligent, energetic, and who share this same passion for outstanding results, should consider a career in management consulting.

Professional Services & Bodies

Professional services firms provide specialist expertise and advisory support to help organisations operative more effectively, manage risk, and improve transparency. These careers can span across auditing and assurance, business and strategy consulting, tax, and transactions advisory, playing a key role in supporting both day-to-day operations and major corporate decisions.

Professional Services & Bodies

Industry Details

Professional services companies provide expert and independent advice on a business-to-business basis. Typically, professional services can be split into four primary lines of business: Audit, Tax, Consulting and Corporate Finance. Professional services are also increasingly active in the private client sector

Across their service lines, professional services firms deal with a vast array of clients including but not limited to government bodies, non-profit organisations and public entities. Firms maximise their client’s efficiency by providing specialised services that would often prove too costly if done in house

Careers in Professional Services

The diversity of work available in professional services is reflected by the diversity of graduates employed in the industry Professional services hire from an increasingly broad pool of degree backgrounds. Coupled with the diversity of clients the firms deal with on a daily basis, this creates a uniquely broad field of work. Alumni of professional services firms are considered highly employable as a result of their considerable expertise and vast industry connections.

What are Professional Bodies?

A professional body is an organisation that represents and supports individuals within a particular profession. It sets standards, provides certification, and offers guidance to ensure members adhere to ethical and professional practices. Professional bodies often provide members with networking opportunities, ongoing professional development, and a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices.

Professional bodies like CA ANZ and CPA Australia can be an essential resource for students aiming for careers in specific fields (such as accounting, finance, law, or engineering). These organisations can assist students in understanding the qualifications, skills, and certifications required for their chosen professions and offer career development tools such as job boards, mentoring, and training programs
