What you'll do

The Finance Undergraduate Internship program is being offered during summer 2023. It is a structured program with opportunities to visit and better understand airline operations and our corporate culture while  gaining valuable exposure by presenting your project(s) to senior management. 

Each Division Finance team seeks to partner with the business unit to support the need for financial analysis relating to various business changes being considered. These  
decisions could include the need for headcount, capital, and operating expense investment as well as incremental revenue generating opportunities. Analysts  
develop financial analyses for improved understanding of the situation and potential areas of business improvement. We are looking for team members who will drive innovation and evolution within our business as we deliver improved operational performance and customer experience. 

Analysts will be expected to develop relationships with their business units as well as other departments to maximize the effectiveness of projects. Analysts are also expected to present original analysis and strategies to senior management, design and improve departmental business processes, analyze the impact of projects on the airline's revenue and cost structure, and work on ad hoc projects related to the airline's strategic goals. Mastering this job will lead to a better understanding of how financial decisions drive the airline and the industry, and will position you for future opportunities both within Finance and other areas within the airline. 

Financial Analysts are charged with budgeting and forecasting the operating revenues and expenses for each division within American Airlines. Analysts use financial modeling built around operational volume drivers to develop an annual budget and forecast those expenses monthly as volume drivers change. Analysts are involved in the monthly close 
process; researching payments, accruing expected expenses, and using variance analysis to explain monthly results. As such, analysts should have a basic understanding of accounting principles as they work through booking expenses to the General Ledger and reconciling Balance Sheet accounts. 
 

All you'll need for success
