I’ve been in my role as a financial analyst for 3 years now and I’m really struggling with my current manager as she tends to micro manage and her expectations change constantly, I feel like no matter what I do I can’t win… I’ve been told by several previous managers and mentors that they believe I’m “overdue” for a promotion into a senior role at the company but unfortunately the corporate structure is set up so only my current manager is able to put me in the running for a promotion.

That's a tough situation. I suppose all you can do, if you need her favor to get a promotion, is to put up with her bad management. If things really don't look promising, you should probably put out feelers and start looking for a new opportunity. No point in being held down by bad management, you can shine somewhere else.

Ugh I am sorry to hear that OP. I have had a manager in the past that was a micro manager and in my experience it never gets better. I ended up leaving because she was constantly stressing me out with the micro managing. I would start looking for something else.
