Matthew Wehner

Experienced Financial Analyst and Accountant

St. Louis, MO

************@*******.*** - 816-***-****

I have over eight years of financial analysis and accounting experience. I have advanced skills in Excel, Word

and Powerpoint. I graduated from Saint Louis University in 2008 with a Master's in Finance and from the

University of Missouri-St. Louis with a triple major in Finance, Accounting and Economics in 2006. I enjoy

digging into financial statements to understand how a company or project works and figuring out the issues

that arise. I would like to get into a Wealth Management or Investment Brokerage company. I like to stay up to

date on the current issues within congress and the economy and know how they will affect myself personally

and the company I work for. I have great problem solving skills and I go out of my way learn all aspects of the

company I'm working. I want to show my next employer just how valuable I will be to them.
