Resume Review: MS Financial Management grad targeting trade support / middle office roles

I’m trying to transition into finance after spending most of my career in regulated operations, compliance-adjacent transaction review, account support, documentation review, internal controls, and client issue resolution. I recently completed an MS in Financial Management and have been trying to reposition my background toward trade support, middle office, trading services, securities operations, corporate actions, transaction operations, or finance operations roles. I am not targeting investment banking or financial advisor/sales roles. I’m looking for roles where accuracy, reconciliations, controls, documentation, Excel/reporting, and cross-functional operational support matter. My challenge is that my experience is not traditional finance. A lot of it comes from casino/gaming operations, online gaming support, banking, and regulated customer/account workflows. I’m trying to figure out whether I’m framing that experience correctly for finance operations roles, or whether the resume still looks too far removed from the roles I’m targeting. I would appreciate direct feedback on whether this resume makes sense for trade support / middle office / transaction operations roles, what sounds credible, what sounds forced, and what I should cut or rewrite.
