Best Finance Classes in Seattle

Finance is a broad field that involves managing money for an individual, an organization, or a government agency. Finance professionals perform various activities, such as budgeting, investing, borrowing, lending, or saving money. Finance comprises activities like investment banking, financial engineering, risk management, and stockbroking. Those who work in finance typically focus on one of three areas. Personal finance involves managing a single family or individual’s finances, such as advising them on investments to make during their career or preparing them for retirement. Corporate finance professionals oversee a company’s finances. They are hired to help their organization make the most profit off of investments while being cognizant of risks. Individuals with public finance jobs work for a government entity and are tasked with monitoring how it shares resources and distributes social programs and income. They also study the economy to be informed of fluctuations.

Studying finance can open many professional doors and lead to high-paying career options. Those who know how to manage money have job opportunities in many industries, such as education, advertising, tech, or consulting. Finance professionals are also in a position of power within their organization; these individuals are trusted with making some of the most important decisions a company or individual can make since they pertain to money. The field of finance is in a constant state of evolution and has grown well beyond traditional big banks. Those with the training and skills to understand the ins and outs of finance play an integral role in this ever-changing field and often work with new technologies and banking, such as mobile deposits, cryptocurrency, and fintech. Not only will a background in finance help in a current job, but finance skills are transferable. The analytics training finance professionals acquire in how to leverage quantitative data to solve problems is a skill that can help in various business settings. Additionally, finance training has applications for personal fiscal well-being and can help individuals make more informed investment choices and more conscious budgeting efforts.

Seattle Industries That Use Finance

Seattle is home to many industries that contribute to its economy, such as technology, health services, construction, life sciences, and manufacturing. The following sections will examine several of the city’s main industries and the role finance plays in them.

Technology

Seattle is one of the world’s leaders in innovation and technology. This city has been a powerhouse in fields like gaming, software, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for decades. In 2021, over 13% of the Seattle metro area was employed in a tech-related career, such as web development, UX/UI design, or software development. That year alone, there were nearly 95,000 job postings in technology. Seattle’s tech industry has greatly impacted the city and generated $133 billion in 2021. This placed Seattle in a Tier 1 designation for tech talent, ranking alongside cities like NYC and San Francisco.

In the tech sector, finance is important in helping businesses, startups, and other organizations monitor their financial well-being. Fintech, which is short for financial technology, is a field that merges finance and technology and strives to automate and improve how financial services are delivered and used. Fintech helps companies and consumers manage their finances and financial operations. This field applies new technological advances to compete with those that were used traditionally to provide financial services. To do so, those who work in fintech employ tools and technology like AI, cloud computing, big data, and blockchain.

Construction

Another major Seattle industry is construction. The city’s construction efforts primarily focus on three aspects: buildings; highways, roads, and related infrastructure; and residential and commercial construction specialty trades. In the first quarter of 2022, 51 cranes were being used in Seattle, which was more than any other US city. These cranes were being used for large-scale construction projects. From the summer of 2022 till the summer of 2023, the employment rate for construction jobs in Seattle increased by 8,700 people. This trend is projected to continue due to a transportation funding bill that will allocate $17 billion during the next 16 years for a range of construction projects in Seattle. This funding will be used along with federal funding to support $4 billion for road and bridge construction, $4.3 billion for pedestrian and bicycle projects, as well as $1.5 billion to create a statewide ferry system.

Finance plays an important role in the construction industry. Construction financial management ensures that the appropriate financial resources are allocated to fund construction projects. Finance also plays a role in the construction loan process that is needed to fund many construction projects. Those who work in construction finance study topics like land and property equity and how this can be used as a down payment for construction loans.

Aerospace

The greater Seattle area is a space hub and is home to over 900 aerospace-related companies that employ nearly 100,000 people. Half of the satellites in operation that are orbiting Earth were created in Seattle. Over the past five years, the Seattle space economy has more than doubled due to increased aerospace sector activity, access to high-tech manufacturing resources, a talented workforce, and new IT assets. Aerospace remains a capital-intensive industry. To remain competitive with the latest technology and innovations, those working in aerospace often rely on financing aircraft using debt or equity financing. Large aerospace companies often employ Aerospace Financial Analysts to help them manage complex financial data and make informed decisions about expending resources and funds.

Finance Jobs & Salaries in Seattle 

Seattle is one of the best places in the country to work in industries like software development and technology. The following sections will explore several career paths for Seattle residents with a finance background.

Aerospace Engineer

Aerospace Engineers are involved with developing technologies used in spacecraft, aviation, and defense systems. These professionals have high-level technical training in structural design, navigation, guidance systems, communications, propulsion and combustion, robotics, instrumentation, and aerodynamic fluid flow. These professionals also design and test the equipment on aircraft and spacecraft. They employ and integrate cutting-edge technologies into aerospace systems, which are then used for exploration, communication, transportation, or defense. In Seattle, Aerospace Engineers make $140,000 a year.

Project Manager

One of the main industries in Seattle is construction, and to successfully complete a large-scale construction project, Project Managers are needed. A Project Manager is hired by a company to organize, plan, and carry out one or more projects, such as building or apartment construction. These professionals must consider a range of variables and constraints, such as schedules, budgets, zoning regulations, and safety protocols. Project Managers clearly articulate the goals of a project, create and oversee teams to carry out tasks, communicate with internal and external stakeholders, and ensure a project progresses smoothly from conception to completion. Seattle-based Project Managers earn approximately $101,000 annually.

Software Engineer

Seattle has a thriving tech scene and provides professionals who work there with a range of opportunities to develop and grow. Software engineering is a popular field for Seattle residents. Those who work as Software Engineers devise solutions for web and desktop applications, games, operating systems, mobile apps, network systems, and robots. These professionals employ training with databases, programming languages, frameworks, and servers to perform daily tasks. Software Engineers are also tasked with monitoring how software is performing and fixing any bugs and errors they find in the software. They often work as part of a team to provide software users or clients with technical support and to design and code various software solutions. Software Engineers who work in Seattle earn a yearly salary of $155,000.
