As an FP&A Intern, you'll engage daily with various finance teams, contribute to financial reporting, and assist with data analytics projects that are crucial to business decisions. Expect to handle real responsibilities that will give you insights into the financial planning process, helping you develop valuable skills for your future career in finance.

We're looking for candidates who are detail-oriented and team players with a strong desire to learn. Basic Excel skills are essential, and pursuing a degree in finance or business is preferred. The ideal intern is someone who takes ownership of their work, effectively collaborates with others, and demonstrates a genuine passion for finance.

Candidates should currently be students pursuing a finance, business, or related degree, ideally with coursework in accounting and finance. If you have already completed introductory courses in these areas, that’s a big plus! We're seeking motivated individuals who are eager to integrate their academic knowledge into a practical setting.

The FP&A Intern position is based in Lincoln, Nebraska, with flexible work options. While we encourage candidates who live within a commuting distance to apply, there are no strict requirements regarding the number of days in the office, allowing your preference for remote or onsite work.

Expect a rich, hands-on internship experience where you'll be part of a supportive team dedicated to your success. In addition to working on impactful projects, you'll have opportunities to participate in lunch-and-learns, access curated resource libraries, and engage with employee resource groups, all aimed at enhancing both your personal and professional development.
