How to become a fiscal analyst?

The primary qualifications for getting a job as a fiscal analyst are a bachelor's degree in finance, business, accounting, or a related field, though some employers prefer candidates with a master's degree. You also need several years of industry experience. Many fiscal analysts start by interning while in school, then getting an entry-level job with a public agency, the government, or a private company. After working for several years, you can take the comprehensive exam to become a chartered financial analyst. Additional qualifications include advanced math skills, interpersonal skills, and the ability to work as part of a team when analyzing complex data.
