Entry Level Financial Counselor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level financial counselor job?
Entry level financial counselor roles typically look for candidates with a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, social work, or a related field, though some employers accept an associate degree paired with relevant internship or volunteer experience. Certifications like the AFC (Accredited Financial Counselor) credential signal commitment even before you have years on the job. Highlighting client-facing experience, budgeting projects, or coursework in consumer finance gives you a real edge at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level financial counselors?
Companies hiring entry level financial counselors right now include PruittHealth, DRH Health, and UCLA Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from credit unions, nonprofit financial wellness organizations, hospital systems, and consumer finance firms that build internal counseling teams from the ground up.
Are there remote entry level financial counselor jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still favor in-person or hybrid arrangements due to the client-facing nature of the work. About 25% of entry level financial counselor openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote positions more common in nonprofit debt counseling and employer-sponsored financial wellness programs.
Are these new grad financial counselor jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior financial counselor roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or practicum hours toward the requirement, or accepts a strong academic record and relevant certifications in place of full-time history. If a listing mentions an internship path or training program, that is a reliable signal it is open to new grad applicants.
Which industries hire the most entry level financial counselors?
Entry level financial counselor roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Human Resources, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive junior hiring because they serve large populations with ongoing financial guidance needs, creating consistent demand for counselors who can be developed into specialized roles over time.
