About the Internship

As a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Intern, you'll do realistic FP&A work inspired by real corporate finance teams: building budgets, forecasting revenue and expenses, analyzing variances, and recommending business decisions backed by data.

You'll learn how FP&A professionals turn raw financial data into plans, forecasts, and insights that guide how companies invest, spend, and grow.

Responsibilities

* Build annual budgets and quarterly reforecasts for mock companies.

* Create revenue forecasts using historical data and market assumptions.

* Analyze budget vs. actual variances and explain key drivers.

* Build three-statement financial models (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow).

* Prepare monthly management reporting packs with commentary.

* Analyze profitability by product, customer segment, and business unit.

* Model headcount plans and operating expenses for growth scenarios.

* Evaluate capital expenditure requests with ROI and payback analysis.

* Run sensitivity and what-if scenarios on key business drivers.

* Build pricing and margin analysis for mock product lines.

* Track KPIs and build dashboards for mock finance leadership.

* Analyze working capital trends and their impact on cash flow.

* Support board and investor-style presentations with financial exhibits.

* Benchmark mock companies against industry peers on key ratios.

* Model debt and equity financing scenarios and their P&L impact.

* Analyze cost structures and recommend efficiency improvements.

* Prepare bridge analyses: actuals vs. budget, forecast vs. forecast.

* Use AI tools to accelerate data analysis, report drafting, and forecasting.

* Present planning recommendations to stakeholders with supporting evidence.

* Document planning assumptions and maintain audit-ready model files.

Requirements

* Current student or recent graduate in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field.

* Strong interest in corporate finance, budgeting, and financial modeling.

* Analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with data and deadlines.

* Strong spreadsheet skills (Excel or Google Sheets); formulas a must, modeling experience a plus.

* Good written and verbal communication skills, including explaining financial results clearly.

* Ability to build a clear, logical business case from raw financial data.

* Interest in how companies plan, forecast, and make investment decisions.

* Familiarity with financial statements and basic statistics is a plus but not required.

* Familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar platforms is a plus.

* Previous professional finance experience is not required.

What You'll Gain

* Hands-on experience doing FP&A work like real financial analysts.

* Practical experience building budgets, forecasts, and financial models.

* Experience writing management reports and board-ready financial presentations.

* Understanding of budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis frameworks.

* Experience presenting financial insights with supporting evidence.

* Understanding of profitability analysis, scenario modeling, and capital allocation.

* Practical exposure to financial dashboards and KPI tracking.

* Experience using AI and modern finance tools.

* Portfolio-ready financial planning & analysis projects.

* Personalized AI feedback on your work.

* Professional certificate upon successful completion.

* Mentorship and weekly learning sessions.
