What is a finance administrator?

A finance administrator assists a company or business with processing accounts and setting a budget for success. As a finance administrator, your job duties include managing the business's liabilities and investments, reconciling accounts, preparing paperwork, and communicating any financial concerns. You should possess a thorough understanding of bookkeeping policies and best practices as well as organizational skills. Minimum qualifications for this career often include a bachelor’s degree in finance or accounting, but a company may consider candidates who studied economics. This job is a starting point for many accounting graduates, although having experience in establishing budgets, processing payroll, and handling account discrepancies is an advantage.
