financial organisations, insurance companies,
education is an obvious choice. Government organisations (especially in the statistical fields), medical research(especially in statistical field). Consumer product research.
Lots of companies take mathematicians even if they do not state it specifically.
When applying for jobs, you have to sell your transferable skills, especially if you do not have prior job experience.
Things like organisational skills, research skills and so on.
Good luck.

I have a BS in mathematics. What math teaches a person is problem solving skills. Problem solving skills are needed in every job. You may not actually use math to solve a problem, but you will be able to sift out the extraneous chaff and get to the core of an issue. Your coworkers who are educated in other disciplines may not have effective problem solving skills, you will have the edge.
I have a good friend who received a BS in physics and now he is a medical doctor, an anesthesiologist. He told me that his math/physics background has given him a rational thinking process that helps him in the operating room.

Math is a good starter for people in technical fields. I've worked with math majors who have done well in their careers. The key was that they had to be flexible and adapt to the work which wasn't necessarily all math. They learned management and computer skills that gave them opportunities in quality engineering, database operations, statistical work, research and development where, for example, design of experiments and analysis of data was key. There are people with good math backgrounds that have also worked in business and finance fields, continuing to learn the nature of the business as they grow with it.
