Switching Industries (Moving to Finance)

I am 23, recently graduated with degrees in mathematics concentrated in Actuarial Sciences and a degree in Finance. I am able to code in Python, R, and am learning SQL. Currently I'm a data analyst for a small firm, but would like to make the jump into the Finance industry. Any ideas of how to get there or where to start?
