WORKING WITH MONEY

A . THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR

In my job people either come to me or I go to them. This is because most of
my clients are working full time and only have the evenings or weekends free.
We usually spend a few hours going through money matters and then I work
out with the client how best their money can be invested and how to plan for
their retirements. I give advice on anything from pension funds to taking
equity out of property. In short what I’m doing is advising people how to make
their money work for them and provide them with a secure future.

B . THE DEBT COUNSELLOR

The people who usually consult me are often desperate to find a way out of a
very difficult and traumatic situation. These days I’m seeing more and more
people who have overreached themselves and been tempted by easy credit.
They can’t see a way forward and that’s where I come in. My job often
involves reassuring people that there are ways out of their problems.
However, in the course of my work I also encounter people whose lives
revolve around spending money that they haven’t got and who are neither
willing nor able to change their ways.

C . THE ACCOUNTANT
I work in partnership with two other people and we are always extremely
busy! We mainly deal with small businesses or individuals who need help with
their taxes. We calculate their profits (or losses) and advise on what
expenses they can claim for. Some forms they have to complete look quite
complex but for people with our experience they’re really quite
straightforward. Some of our clients think we should be able to save them
enormous amounts of money but we’re certainly not miracle workers!

D . THE ECONOMIST
In my opinion the economy is a fascinating subject and I try to pass this on to
my students. It’s such a wide subject. There are so many influences you have
to consider and a successful economist must be familiar with all the markets
and current trends. As we’ve seen recently with unstable stock markets world
wide, predicting how an economy is going to do is almost impossible because
of all the contributory factors. Friends often ask for advice on what shares to
buy or sell but unfortunately there are no guarantees in my business and it’s
always a big risk!

Complete the sentences with the correct person A–D.

1. _______ is a teacher.

2. _______ thinks his subject is not straightforward.

3. _______ doesn’t work office hours.

4. _______ has some clients that do not take his advice.

5. _______ doesn’t always do what his clients expect.
