A financial analyst internship opportunity allows you to intern with a business and gain hands-on experience in the financial world. It enables you to use the economic concepts you learned in school and apply them to the industry. You work under the supervision of a senior financial analyst to learn the different aspects of the job and improve your analytical skills. Specific job duties vary, depending on the company and your supervisor, but general responsibilities may include evaluating finance reports, handling cash flow, budget development, conducting research, developing economic modeling improvements and strategies, and tracking risks and opportunities. A financial analyst intern also collaborates with other departments to review financial decisions.
