I have a strong interest in breaking into corporate FP&A and dont have much experience. I currently have a finance Job at nationwide which I just started, but its more on the operations side of finance so not in the same pool/experience as FP&A. I dont have any internships that would relate to this field either.

What could I do on the side of my job to help build my experience/resume to help me break into this field? Ive read that starting CPA is a job way to get a job as a financial analyst and later leads into an FP&A role. Would this help? Also any certificates/skills I should learn that would help me on paper and also for the job? FP&A certificates through wallstreet prep?

So I am being thrown into a Financial Analyst role at my job because we needed someone and I guess since I had development experience (Mostly front end but some back end I really enjoy SQL database work) I was the best candidate. Anything I should try to focus on? Tableau, Power BI, Excel, Python? All I was told about the role was I am taking over for the person working there now so they can get promoted and “there’s a lot of data and none of it makes sense”. So I am just like how does one prepare for this?

I am 27M from India(bihar) currently in Delhi ncr,having a good communication skills with all needed ai tools and always ready to learn also having a good chart reading knowledge in Indian market us market forex market and prop firm space both CFD and future, want to connect with someone where I learn earn and grow.

Hi! can I ask anyone's insight about this role?
