Sample Statement of Purpose (SOP) For MBA In Banking And Finance

I realized my prime source of motivation at a very early stage in life – the satisfaction that comes after determinedly facing challenges and emerging victorious. Be it soccer match against a stronger team or a highly trained tennis player or a complicated puzzle, I would never give up till the goal of winning was achieved.

As I grew up to my teens, the same attitude reflected in my curricular and co-curricular pursuits at college and in my reaction to a financial crisis at home. The later taught me to think ahead and find solutions instead of giving up on plans; I thus started working part-time and continued with education. Those years developed the mental discipline for managing multiple responsibilities and time management was learnt hands-on. I also learnt to adapt my life in response to a frugal living and invest money wisely.

Over time the financial pressures eased out – my family was out of the trouble and I had evolved to be much more responsible compared to my peers. Upon graduation I networked my way to  ABC  Inc. where I was hired as a management trainee (Finance) . The opening was the best way to understand the financial structure of various businesses that we would audit. After executing record levels of audits (16 in place of 11 planned and within the allocated budget), I won over the faith of senior management to be able to handle Corporate Audits as Deputy Manager.
