Financial Officer Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a financial officer in Virginia?

The most direct path is a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance followed by CPA licensure through the Virginia Board of Accountancy, which requires passing the Uniform CPA Exam and meeting Virginia's experience requirement. For roles in government contracting, familiarity with cost accounting standards is equally important. Many Virginia employers also value the CMA or CGFM credential, particularly in the public sector and defense industries.

Which companies hire financial officers in Virginia?

Employers hiring financial officers in Virginia right now include Arizona College, Berkley, and ChemTreat, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Virginia's dense concentration of federal agencies and defense contractors means many openings require familiarity with government financial regulations.

Which Virginia cities have the most financial officer jobs?

Norfolk, Henrico County, and Glen Allen have the most financial officer openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia drives the largest share due to its concentration of federal agencies, defense contractors, and corporate headquarters, while Richmond's role as the state capital and a regional banking hub anchors steady demand there, and Hampton Roads is supported by military installation finance offices and supporting contractors.

Are there remote financial officer jobs in Virginia?

Yes, and more than many finance roles because financial officers work primarily with data, reporting systems, and strategic planning that translate well to remote environments. About 38% of financial officer openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting broad employer flexibility in the sector. Budget analysis, financial modeling, and FP&A functions are the most commonly offered in remote or hybrid arrangements.

How can I get hired as a financial officer in Virginia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry point is a staff accountant or financial analyst associate role, which many Virginia employers treat as a pipeline into financial officer tracks. Large Virginia-based contractors like Leidos and SAIC run structured rotational programs for new finance graduates, and state agencies including the Department of Accounts offer entry-level budget analyst positions that build the government financial management experience Virginia employers value. Earning the CGFM credential early signals commitment to public-sector finance and gives candidates a concrete edge over other early-career applicants.
