ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES
Early careers are built on experiences, and this one is designed to give you more of them than most. As a Financial Analyst in our rotational program, you will move across four core finance disciplines in your first two years, gaining hands-on expertise that sets you apart. You will do real, meaningful work in each rotation, not shadow work, and you will bring a modern edge to it by using Microsoft Copilot to automate repetitive tasks and sharpen how the team operates. If you are passionate about finance, excited by what AI can do for it, and ready to grow faster than a traditional analyst track would allow, this is the role for you.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Rotate through Accounting, FP&A/Program Control, Pricing & Compliance, and Financial Systems on a 4-8 month cadence, building real expertise in each area
- Partner with each team on budget development, financial forecasting, and estimate-at-completion (EAC) reporting
- Contribute to month-end close activities, account reconciliations, and reporting accuracy reviews
- Maintain funding records and support client status reports and ad-hoc financial analyses
- Assist in preparing indirect rate workpapers and compliance documentation as assigned
- Use Microsoft Copilot to spot automation opportunities and make routine finance workflows faster and smarter
- Leverage Microsoft Excel and the company's ERP to support day-to-day financial operations
- Stay organized and deliver quality work across multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
- Solid proficiency in Microsoft Excel and comfort across the Microsoft Office suite
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Copilot or similar AI productivity tools, with an interest in applying them to automate and improve financial processes
- Sharp attention to detail and the communication skills to work effectively across teams
- A genuine passion for finance and technology, and curiosity about how modern tools can change the way financial work gets done
- Flexibility and confidence to adapt as you move between teams, systems, and priorities throughout the program
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
- Familiarity with additional AI tools or platforms beyond Microsoft Copilot, such as automation assistants, AI-driven analytics tools, or large language model applications
- Experience with Unanet, Deltek, or a comparable financial ERP system
- Background in a customer-facing or deadline-oriented professional environment
EDUCATION & CERTIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related field; an Associate's degree or equivalent work experience will be considered
- 0-5 years of finance experience; internships and academic project work are welcome
