- 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.

How you'll work

- Speed: you give a quick first answer, then make it better.

Entry Level FP&A Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level fp&a lead job?
Employers hiring entry level fp&a leads look for candidates with a finance or accounting degree, hands-on experience with Excel or financial modeling tools, and exposure to budgeting or forecasting through coursework or internships. Highlighting a college capstone project, a finance internship, or any experience building financial models gives you a concrete edge over candidates with only general business backgrounds.
Which companies hire entry level fp&a leads?
Companies hiring entry level fp&a leads right now include SharkNinja, Avis Budget, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, you'll find openings across a mix of large corporations with structured rotational finance programs and mid-size companies where junior analysts carry meaningful responsibility early.
Are there remote entry level fp&a lead jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles still make up the majority at this experience level. About 18% of entry level fp&a lead openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who need location flexibility do have real options without limiting themselves to only fully in-office roles.
Are these new grad fp&a lead jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad and junior roles that welcome recent graduates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly fp&a posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward that threshold, and treats a strong academic finance background or modeling portfolio as a genuine substitute for full-time work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level fp&a leads?
Entry Level fp&a lead roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Banking & Financial Services, and Automotive, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to run large planning and analysis functions that need junior analysts to support forecasting cycles, variance reporting, and budget builds, making them natural entry points for candidates starting out in corporate finance.
