I've always been under the impression that any type of experience hire resume should have their education come after their relevant experience
Thanks for the feedback. Does anyone else share this view that my experience should come before my education?
Any other comments regarding content would be appreciated.

Definitely put your work experience before your education since your not fresh out of college. I don't know about Europe, but thats how its structured in North America.
Great content, but I would change a couple of things just to make it look a little sexier:
I know these points may seem overly picky or trivial, but they do matter. The advice I am passing on comes straight out of a book titled "Polished"; which was written by a previous MD at Goldman Sachs on writing cover letters and composing your resume'. I would highly advise looking for it on amazon. It has been a great resource to me through the recruiting process and helped me with formatting my resume to attain my FT IB offer.
Best of luck to you!
You've got a good resume. Just curious if you're looking at a particular region (i noticed you mentioned a US work visa for 12 mths). I think Europe is a better bet for advisory and research jobs as they value the CA a lot there. Whereas in US it's not as respected (well the CPA isn't - the CA is harder to get, but I don't think a lot of Americans know much about it).
Besides flipping the education and work experience order (as others have said, once you're already experienced, work exp comes first), I'd take out 'English (native)' in languages - unless you're applying to countries where the first language isn't English. And under interests you have "macroeconomics" - unless you know that shit cold, you don't want to get called upon it if you happen to interview with someone with a good econ background, I'd take that out unless you're confident.
