Being a Finance Analyst at Citi
The Finance Analyst program provides the unique perspective that comes with being cross-sector.  After training, Analysts have the opportunity tojoin a finance team in any one of Citi’s sectors, including Markets & Banking, the Global Consumer Group, Citi Alternative Investments and the Corporate Center.
Initial Training
Your formal training will start with an orientation in designed to provide you with an overview of Citi.  During the first week, you’ll join trainees from other divisions to learn about the structure of the company, the global marketplace in which we operate and the resources available and how to access them. After this orientation, you’ll embark on a longer program of industry and product training, including a six-week period where you will gain in-depth training in accounting, credit/risk, and financial analysis. There will also be on-going product, technology, sales, and professional skills training during the two year program.
What You’ll Learn
The Analyst Program is a two-year program in a specific finance function within one of Citi’s sectors. During the program, Analysts receive valuable work experience to help them achieve their career goals. Analysts work closely with finance management teams across numerous sectors and add value to the company through reliable and efficient transaction processing, accurate record keeping, development of financial auditing and controls, drafting of policies and procedures, strategic planning and analysis, and effective management of balance sheets and liquidity.
Upon successful completion of the two years, it is anticipated that Analysts who have excelled in the program will be invited to remain for a third year with the option to rotate within Citi Finance.  This rotation may be across functions and sectors to help broaden their finance skills and knowledge of the organization. Included in this third year rotation are opportunities for potential international assignments. These opportunities may in turn allow for the possibility of promotion to the Management Associate level program and beyond.
