How do I get an entry level finance assistant job?
Employers hiring at the entry level prioritize candidates who can demonstrate basic accounting principles, proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets, and attention to detail. Relevant coursework, a finance or accounting internship, or experience with bookkeeping software like QuickBooks gives you a concrete edge. Tailor your resume to highlight any hands-on exposure to accounts payable, receivable, or financial reporting, even from academic projects.

Companies hiring entry level finance assistants right now include Omni Hotels, Allied Universal, and Columbia College, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level covers corporate finance departments, accounting firms, healthcare organizations, and government agencies, all of which regularly bring on junior candidates to support day-to-day financial operations.
Are there remote entry level finance assistant jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still lean on-site due to training and mentorship needs. About 0% of entry level finance assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who prefer flexible arrangements should filter for those options when searching current listings.

A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it lists zero to two years of experience as acceptable, or when it mentions internships, coursework, or a portfolio as qualifying credentials in place of a full work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level finance assistants?
Entry Level finance assistant roles concentrate in Education, Staffing & Recruiting, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
