Sem 1: Tax Sem 2: E&G Sem 3: SMA & FR Sem 4: GSL & Audit. The reason for this is Tax and E&G are killers. However, E&G is related to GSL, which is a unit you will need plenty of help with. Also, no matter what you do, try to do SMA before GSL, as there's a lot of material that both units share.

1) Finance jobs are a lot harder to land than accounting. To even consider a career in finance you need to be confident, good communicator, intelligent etc. to even land the job in the first place. In the current climate D average is the minimum.
