About the Opportunity
We are a growing $1B community bank seeking an experienced Credit Analyst who is energized by financial statements, tax returns, cash flow, collateral, repayment capacity, and the story behind the numbers. This role is ideal for an experienced credit analyst who brings strong analytical judgment, works independently, and is committed to deepening their expertise in credit analysis and underwriting.
You will partner closely with lenders and credit leadership. Your value will come from objective, well-supported underwriting, thoughtful risk identification, and clear credit presentations that help the bank make sound lending decisions.
What You’ll Do
- Analyze borrower and guarantor financial statements, tax returns, borrowing base information, rent rolls, collateral documentation, and related financial data.
- Prepare accurate spreads, global cash flow analysis, repayment capacity analysis, collateral analysis, and risk assessments for commercial, commercial real estate, and/or SBA credit requests.
- Develop clear, well-supported credit presentations that summarize financial performance, credit strengths, risks, mitigating factors, and recommended structure.
- Complete renewals, annual reviews, loan modifications, covenant testing, and monitoring of existing credit relationships.
- Identify trends, exceptions, policy considerations, and early warning indicators that may affect credit quality.
- Work collaboratively with lenders while maintaining independent judgment and a strong credit discipline.
- Support consistent underwriting standards, documentation quality, and sound portfolio management practices.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, economics, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered.
- Several years of commercial credit analysis, commercial underwriting, loan review, or closely related financial analysis experience.
- Familiarity with loan policy, regulatory expectations, credit risk ratings, covenants, and portfolio monitoring.
- Experience with financial spreading software, core banking systems, and credit presentation platforms.
- Ability to interpret complex financial information and translate it into clear, practical credit conclusions.
- Comfort asking detailed questions, challenging assumptions, and documenting the “why” behind a credit recommendation.
- Strong written communication skills and the ability to present analysis in a concise, organized, and balanced manner.
- A preference for deepening expertise in credit, underwriting, and portfolio risk rather than pursuing a production-focused lending career path.
Why Join Us
We’re committed to building long-term careers and relationships. You’ll enjoy competitive pay, comprehensive benefits—including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match—paid holidays, PTO, and opportunities for growth. Become part of a team that values your expertise and invests in your future.

Credit Analyst Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a credit analyst in Wisconsin?
Most credit analyst roles in Wisconsin require a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or economics as the baseline qualification. Wisconsin does not issue a state-specific license for credit analysts, so hiring decisions typically turn on education, relevant coursework, and industry credentials. Pursuing a designation such as the Credit Business Associate from the National Association of Credit Management or the Chartered Financial Analyst credential strengthens a candidacy considerably with Wisconsin's commercial banks and credit unions.
How much do credit analysts make in Wisconsin?
Credit analysts in Wisconsin earn a median of about $68,690 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,780 for the lowest 10% to over $126,640 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire credit analysts in Wisconsin?
Companies currently hiring credit analysts in Wisconsin include Advia Credit Union, U.S. Bank, and Ixonia Bank, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Wisconsin's concentration of regional banks, agricultural lenders, and manufacturing-sector finance teams means openings appear across a broad range of institution types beyond the largest national names.
Which Wisconsin cities have the most credit analyst jobs?
Madison, Fond du Lac, and Beloit lead Wisconsin for credit analyst openings. Milwaukee drives the largest share given its density of regional bank headquarters and corporate finance departments, while Madison's government, insurance, and university-affiliated institutions sustain steady demand, and Green Bay's agricultural lending and manufacturing base generates consistent openings in commercial and agricultural credit.
Are there remote credit analyst jobs in Wisconsin?
Yes, and more than many financial roles, because credit analysis is largely document-driven and desk-based. About 71% of credit analyst openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's analytical nature. Portfolio review, underwriting write-ups, and financial modeling are the functions most commonly performed remotely, while client-facing or loan-closing responsibilities tend to remain on-site.
How can I get hired as a credit analyst in Wisconsin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a credit analyst trainee or junior underwriter program at one of Wisconsin's regional banks or credit unions, such as those run by Associated Bank or local cooperative lenders affiliated with the Wisconsin Bankers Association network. Lateral moves from bank teller, loan processor, or accounting assistant roles are common starting points. Completing the Credit Business Associate coursework through the National Association of Credit Management gives candidates without direct experience a concrete credential that Wisconsin employers recognize.
Where can I find and apply to credit analyst jobs in Wisconsin?
You can find and apply to credit analyst jobs in Wisconsin on Migrate Mate, which lists current Wisconsin openings across commercial banks, credit unions, agricultural lenders, and corporate finance teams. Find the roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match.
