Finance Assistant Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a finance assistant in Virginia?
Most Virginia employers require at least an associate degree in accounting or finance, though many prefer a bachelor's degree. Virginia does not require a state license for finance assistants, but earning credentials like the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers certification or passing the QuickBooks ProAdvisor exam strengthens applications. Roles tied to federal government contractors in Northern Virginia may require a security clearance as an additional step.
Which companies hire finance assistants in Virginia?
Virginia finance assistant roles are posted by Rare, Hilton, and Omni Hotels and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Virginia's dense concentration of defense contractors, federal agencies, and large financial services firms means steady and varied openings across the state throughout the year.
Which Virginia cities have the most finance assistant jobs?
Arlington, Roanoke, and Fairfax County have the most finance assistant openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's volume is driven by federal agencies, defense contractors, and technology firms headquartered along the I-495 and Route 1 corridors, Richmond draws from state government offices and major insurers and financial institutions, and Virginia Beach reflects the demand from military installations and regional healthcare and retail employers in the Hampton Roads area.
Are there remote finance assistant jobs in Virginia?
Yes, and more than many comparable roles, since finance assistant work is largely desk-based and document-driven. About 0% of finance assistant openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how well the day-to-day tasks translate to distributed work. Accounts payable processing, financial data entry, and budget reporting are the functions most likely to be offered on a remote or hybrid basis.
How can I get hired as a finance assistant in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for accounts payable clerk or billing coordinator roles, which Virginia employers use as feeder positions into finance assistant titles. Large Northern Virginia contractors like Leidos and SAIC run internship and early-career programs that place candidates without prior professional experience. Richmond-area employers in banking and insurance regularly hire recent community college graduates from programs at Northern Virginia Community College or Reynolds Community College. Earning a QuickBooks ProAdvisor or Microsoft Office Specialist certification gives entry-level candidates a concrete edge in Virginia applications.
