Some thoughts:

Definitely put CFA institute below your university. Capitalize "Financial Modelling" "Advanced Modelling" after Wall Street Prep and Wall Street Training, respectively.

Be much more specific in your work experience. QUANTIFY when possible. "Expected track record of exceeding expectations" needs to be taken out. Make sure you stay in the same tense. Take off "Play for Standard Life Soccer Team," your resume space should be too valuable to have something like that on it.

Contrary to mace, I would say CFA I and an undergraduate degree are relatively comparable, and would be indifferent what order you put them in. Remove the first attempt brag for sure, L1 is fucking easy and people will think you're a dick. Take out location, nobody cares where you took it.

Exclude major GPA, better letting people hope it was significantly better than 3.1 than pointing out it's 3.2 Make all dates consistent: you have Date – Date (use this), Date - Date, Date-Date You use the word "skills" 13 times (excluding the header). Use it 0 times. Never say "my X skills led to Y". Always say how it led to Y. Good: "Worked on a successful new business pitch that ultimately became an indication of interest" Bad: "Presentation skills led to a skillful pitch that skillfully got the firm new business" Really tighten up the language on these bullets with concrete examples. I read your second boutique PE RE bullet and it sounds to me like you used google and wsj.com. Languages - make "Fluent English and French; limited Spanish" (though better to use a word like fluent, conversational, basic that is more accepted)

Will look for your edits, GL

I believe Canadians use the double "L" here (I know Brits do).

Your bullet points are really awkward, saying my X skill led to whatever. That just sounds so weird. Also get rid of your periods, and as someone else noted, fix your dates and make them consistent. I noticed that right away. You also need to start your bullets with an action verb, and put it in present tense for your first job. I think overall it isnt bad at first glance, but after actually reading the bullet points, it seems like you just wrote all of this up in about 5 minutes.

Also, organization is spelled with a Z, not an S. Maybe that's a Canadian thing, but I would stick with the Z...
