Why are your dates and locations not on the left margin but slightly indented?
Keep your date formatting the same. Month Year - Month Year (for your university, the latter should be your expected graduation date, not "present")
No work experience at all?
Your bullet points kind of suck. They read like you're purposefully withholding any helpful information. Like "assembled a team of five". Okay and? You should read your bullet points and ask yourself "so what?" I have yet to be able to answer that question for a single one of your bullet points.

Join some finance societies in a position of responsibility. Get something other than an online course on your CV.
Do you think that mentioning the online course is more of a detriment because it really shows that I don't have much to mention? Also thanks for the advice, really good :)
No that doesn't make any sense.
82.5% is 4.0 GPA in the US so my grades are really good while my work experience is nonexistent
I’m guessing the scale is different where you are cause an 82.5% would be around a B or B- in America which is a 2.7-3.0. So the 4.0 you do have is great but we gotta get you some work experience and then you’re ready!
Any work experience at all? even if it is not related to finance? I worked in a coffee shop and was a math tutor for a while. Still threw it on the resume when I was a freshman.
no work exp, non-target uni. what kind of roles are you applying to?
All of them
Please don't put an online course as an experience.
