  4. Create a finance case using open or anonymized data: model, calculation, dashboard and management conclusion.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for Accountant, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
