Hasham Arif

Recent graduate with a B.S. in Financial Economics from Northern Illinois University, currently exploring full-time opportunities in finance, banking, and business operations. I’m eager to join a company where I can contribute meaningfully, grow professionally, and build a long-term career.

My academic background in Financial Economics has equipped me with strong analytical and financial modeling skills, along with hands-on experience using various software tools to manipulate data and run models effectively.

I’m eager to learn and bring a strong work ethics. I’m looking to grow within a company that values long-term development and invests in its people.

I’ve worked on and off with Liberty Tax Services, most recently during the 2025 tax season. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience preparing federal and state tax returns, assisting clients with deductions and credits, and using tax software to ensure accuracy and compliance. 

In my senior year, I contributed to a student-led research project examining the gig economy and its effects on Federal Reserve Bank Interest Rates. I analyzed labor market data, built models and presented findings to associates from Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. This experience deepened my understanding of monetary policy and its real-world implications while enhancing my data analysis and presentation abilities.
