Financial Analyst market in Edinburgh.
Finance pay tracks credentialing first (CFA, ACA, CPA), then sector. Buy-side and IB analysts sit firmly above the headline percentiles; corporate finance analysts cluster around them. Side income for finance professionals is heavily concentrated in fractional FP&A for early-stage companies (£400-£700/day).
Edinburgh specifically: Edinburgh's technology and financial services sectors have grown steadily. Fintech roles — particularly at asset managers and insurers — pay above the city median for tech skills.
