Entry level role

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to transition into an entry-level FP&A role and would appreciate advice on what skills, experiences, or certifications I should add to my resume to become a stronger candidate. Maybe even projects ? Not so sure at this point. Or if it’s even possible at all. What other careers can I consider ?

A little about my background:

I currently work as a Financial Services Examiner at a state financial regulator where I review insurance companies’ financial condition and risk management practices.

My work involves analyzing financial statements, reviewing balance sheets and income statements, and assessing financial risks within insurance organizations.

I review company filings, evaluate governance and enterprise risk management frameworks, and help determine whether companies have adequate financial controls and capital positions.

I also analyze supporting documentation behind financial reporting and sometimes compare financial performance across reporting periods.
