Entry Level Project Financial Controller Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level project financial controller job?
Entry level project financial controller roles reward candidates who can show hands-on experience with budgets, cost tracking, or financial reporting, even from internships, coursework projects, or part-time work. Employers at this level look for proficiency in Excel or financial modeling tools, an understanding of project accounting basics, and clear communication skills. A finance or accounting degree helps, but demonstrated analytical ability and relevant project work can be equally compelling to hiring managers.
Which companies hire entry level project financial controllers?
Companies hiring entry level project financial controllers right now include Hyatt, JPMorganChase, and Teksky, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this stage, openings tend to come from construction firms, consulting organizations, and large enterprises that run multi-team projects requiring dedicated financial oversight from day one.
Are there remote entry level project financial controller jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles still make up a meaningful share of openings at this level. About 0% of entry level project financial controller openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, giving new candidates flexibility without requiring relocation. Many hybrid postings expect two to three in-office days per week, so checking each listing's location requirements is worth the extra step.
Are these new grad project financial controller jobs?
Yes, many of the listings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward that threshold, and treats a strong academic project or portfolio as a valid substitute for full-time work history. Filtering for "entry level" or "junior" in your search surfaces these openings most reliably.
