Finance Intern Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a finance intern in Illinois?

Most finance intern roles in Illinois require current enrollment in an accredited undergraduate or graduate program in finance, accounting, economics, or a related business field. No state-issued license is required for internship-level positions. Illinois employers, particularly in Chicago's financial district and insurance corridor, typically look for relevant coursework in financial analysis or corporate finance, a solid GPA, and proficiency with Excel or financial software as the primary hiring criteria.

Which companies hire finance interns in Illinois?

Companies currently hiring finance interns in Illinois include Ankura, GGP, and RSM, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Illinois's concentration of insurance headquarters, asset management firms, and Fortune 500 corporate offices in and around Chicago makes it one of the more active states for finance intern recruiting.

Which Illinois cities have the most finance intern jobs?

Chicago, Moline, and Peoria account for the most finance intern openings in Illinois. Chicago leads by a wide margin given its density of banks, asset managers, and corporate headquarters, while suburban areas like Deerfield and Northbrook attract intern volume from large insurance and pharmaceutical finance teams based there.

Are there remote finance intern jobs in Illinois?

Yes, and they're more common than in many fields, since finance intern work is largely analytical and desk-based. About 33% of finance intern openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with fully remote positions more likely in financial analysis and reporting roles than in trading, banking operations, or team-embedded corporate finance rotations.

How can I get hired as a finance intern in Illinois with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to structured summer intern programs that large Illinois employers run for undergraduates with no prior finance experience, including rotational programs at firms in Chicago's Loop and insurance companies in the northern suburbs. Building a discounted cash flow or budget model as a portfolio sample gives candidates a concrete edge. Adjacent starting points include accounting assistant or data analyst roles at mid-size Illinois firms, which often transition into finance intern tracks after one cycle.

Where can I find and apply to finance intern jobs in Illinois?

You can find and apply to finance intern jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings updated regularly. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match your program, timeline, and location preferences.
