Job Description
Are you passionate about finance but equally obsessed with the power of Artificial Intelligence? We are seeking a highly motivated FP&A Summer Associate to join our team in San Mateo and spearhead our finance automation initiatives.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to participate in impactful projects that help to drive and shape the way FP&A operates. You will not only crunch numbers and create reports, but you will also act as the bridge between finance and technology. You will partner with our FP&A managers to map out existing workflows across our primary financial systems (NetSuite, Workday HCM, and Workday Adaptive Planning) and design AI-driven solutions to automate repetitive tasks, enhance data accuracy, and generate predictive insights.
Key Responsibilities:
- Process Mapping & System Optimization: Analyze and document current FP&A workflows within NetSuite, Workday, and Adaptive Planning to identify bottlenecks, manual data-entry points, and areas for automation.
- AI Integration & Automation: Research, test, and implement AI tools (e.g., LLMs, Microsoft Copilot, custom Python scripts, or RPA) to streamline data extraction and consolidation across our financial stack.
- Proof of Concept (PoC) Development: Build and present working prototypes of automated financial models or dashboards that reduce manual processing time for month-end reporting and variance analysis.
- Prompt Engineering & Data Querying: Develop optimized prompts and queries to extract actionable financial insights from large datasets pulled from our ERP and EPM systems using Generative AI tools.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with FP&A, Investor Relations, Accounting, Data/IT, and other cross-functional teams to ensure automated solutions are secure, scalable, and compliant with financial controls.
- Strategic Support: Assist the FP&A and Investor Relations team with ad-hoc financial modeling, close activities, market benchmarking, competitive analysis and preparation of executive dashboards to understand the foundation of the process you are automating.
Minimum Qualifications
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in Finance, Economics, Computer Science, Data Science, Data Analytics, or a closely related field.
- Strong foundational understanding of core finance concepts (budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis).
- Proficiency in Excel and/or Google Sheets and a strong willingness to push beyond traditional spreadsheets.
- A fundamental understanding of Generative AI, Machine Learning concepts, or robotic process automation (RPA).
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with enterprise financial systems, specifically NetSuite, Workday, or Workday Adaptive Planning, is a strong plus.
- Hands-on experience using APIs (e.g., OpenAI API) or building custom scripts to parse financial data from ERP/EPM systems.
- Curiosity and a "hacker" mindset. You love figuring out how to make software do the heavy lifting for you.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical AI/automation concepts to non-technical finance professionals.
What You Will Gain:
- Real-World Impact: Your projects will directly reduce manual hours for the Freshworks finance team, and your solutions may be adopted permanently.
- Skill Development: Hands-on experience at the intersection of enterprise finance tools (NetSuite/Workday/Adaptive) and SaaS AI.
- Mentorship: Direct access to senior finance leadership and data science experts who will guide your professional development.
Additional Information
Please note this is a paid, full-time (40 hours/week), fixed-term Associate internship running from June through September. This is a hybrid role with onsite expectations of 3x/week (Tuesday - Thursday) from our San Mateo, CA headquarters.
The hourly pay range for this position is $25 - $30/ hour.
At Freshworks, we have fostered an environment that enables everyone to find their true potential, purpose, and passion, welcoming colleagues of all backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnicities. We are committed to providing equal opportunity and believe that diversity in the workplace creates a more vibrant, richer environment that boosts the goals of our employees, communities, and business.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Summer Associate
Confirm your degree field matches the role
PERM requires the employer to specify a minimum degree requirement tied to the job duties. A Summer Associate position in consulting or law must list a field-specific degree, not just any bachelor's, so verify that your credentials align with the job order before applying.
Target firms with established PERM infrastructure
Law firms and financial institutions that run structured summer programs and routinely convert associates to full-time roles are far more likely to have in-house immigration counsel and an active PERM pipeline than smaller boutiques hiring their first international candidate.
Search green card sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Summer Associate openings by employers with documented EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, so you're targeting firms that have already run PERM filings for comparable professional roles rather than starting that conversation from scratch.
Understand the PERM timeline before your offer
PERM labor certification alone typically takes six to twelve months with DOL, followed by I-140 adjudication and adjustment of status. If your full-time conversion offer comes at summer's end, ask HR whether the firm initiates PERM during the first year of employment.
Ask employers about EB-2 versus EB-3 filing strategy
Firms with immigration counsel often file under EB-2 for Summer Associates converting to roles requiring an advanced degree or specialized expertise, and EB-3 for standard professional positions. Your filing category affects your priority date and wait time, so clarify this during the offer stage.

Find Summer Associate JobsSummer Associate Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Summer Associate roles typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Summer Associate positions at law firms, consulting firms, and financial institutions qualify under EB-3 as professional roles requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. If the full-time conversion role requires a master's degree or equivalent specialized experience, the employer may file under EB-2 instead. The PERM labor certification determines which category applies based on the employer's stated minimum requirements for the position.
How does green card sponsorship through PERM differ from H-1B sponsorship for Summer Associates?
H-1B is a temporary nonimmigrant status capped at 85,000 new visas annually, subject to a lottery. PERM-based green card sponsorship through EB-2 or EB-3 has no annual cap at the petition level, though per-country visa backlogs can delay the final green card. PERM also leads to permanent residency rather than a status that requires renewal or transfer, making it a fundamentally different outcome even when both paths begin with the same job offer.
When do firms typically start the PERM process for converted Summer Associates?
Most firms that sponsor green cards for converted Summer Associates begin the PERM process after you've been in a full-time role for six to twelve months, though some initiate the process earlier if your H-1B status requires it. DOL's PERM processing timeline adds another six to twelve months before the employer can file the I-140 petition with USCIS, so the earlier the firm starts, the better your overall position.
How can I find Summer Associate employers that actively sponsor green cards?
Migrate Mate lets you search Summer Associate openings filtered by employers with verified EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, so you're not guessing which firms have actually run PERM filings for professional roles. Targeting employers with an established immigration infrastructure saves significant time compared to raising green card sponsorship cold during an interview.
Does my country of birth affect green card timing even if my employer files PERM quickly?
Yes. Your priority date, set when DOL accepts the PERM application, determines your place in the visa queue. USCIS publishes monthly Visa Bulletin cutoffs by country of birth and preference category. Nationals from India and China face multi-year backlogs in both EB-2 and EB-3, meaning a successful PERM filing and approved I-140 does not translate to an immediate green card for applicants from those countries.
