- Work with marketing, media, and program owners to understand what is driving the numbers.

- Build new views of marketing cost and performance that leaders have not had before: new metrics, deeper analytics, and cleaner P&L cuts.
- Support new business launches and build the investment plans to deliver them.
- Challenge the way things are done, and build new ways to save time and deliver value. Encourage the team to do the same.
- Take on ad hoc analysis, and follow it through to a clear answer.
Building with AI and automation
- Use AI tools to clean data, draft variance commentary, and build first-pass analyses quickly.
- Pull, clean, and model data yourself, and build repeatable processes.

- 1–3 years of FP&A, accounting, or finance analysis experience.

- Hands-on AI fluency: you use AI tools in your own workflow and can show what you built.
- Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain a number in plain language.
How you'll work
- Details make the difference: the consolidation ties out, and you can show why.
- Speed: you give a quick first answer, then make it better.

Entry Level FP&A Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level fp&a associate job?
Entry level fp&a associate roles reward candidates who can demonstrate hands-on work with financial modeling, budgeting, or variance analysis, even from coursework or internships. Proficiency in Excel and familiarity with tools like Tableau or a major ERP system gives applicants a clear edge. Tailoring your resume to highlight any exposure to forecasting, reporting cycles, or data-driven decision support helps you stand out at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level fp&a associates?
Companies hiring entry level fp&a associates right now include SharkNinja, Avis Budget, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from mid-size growth companies and large enterprises across finance, healthcare, and technology that run structured analyst programs or have dedicated FP&A teams with open entry points.
Are there remote entry level fp&a associate jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles remain common at this stage. About 18% of entry level fp&a associate openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader finance team norms where in-office collaboration is still valued for junior hires learning reporting workflows. Hybrid schedules are more common than fully remote for new entrants to the field.
Are these new grad fp&a associate jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad and junior fp&a associate roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically calls for zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic projects as qualifying background, and does not require prior full-time finance employment, making them accessible to candidates entering the field directly from school.
Which industries hire the most entry level fp&a associates?
Entry Level fp&a associate roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Banking & Financial Services, and Automotive, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to drive entry-level FP&A hiring because they operate with complex cost structures, recurring planning cycles, and finance teams large enough to onboard and develop junior analysts year-round.
