“Dear finance professionals…

the times, they are a changing…”

• You will want to understand how technology can be used, so that you can apply it to your

job and be part of this transformation process.

• Finance professionals will need to train fintech software and work on more complex or

strategic issues.

• Automation will significantly reduce administrative tasks. You will continue to have an

important role in the relationship with clients, but will be increasingly assisted by more

digital tools.

• As alternate currencies and blockchain technologies become increasingly integrated into

the finance industry, there will be a greater need for roles in security fields like encryption,

identity protection, risk and compliance.

• Roles will require personnel having strong soft skills — like personal attention and empathy

— that cannot be replicated (yet!) by machines

• Fintechs need professionals that understand financials services are in-demand
