HireSetu's note
The numbers come off a shop floor
Read finance analyst and you might picture forecasting or building models in Excel. The day here is month-end accruals and reclass entries in the ERP, tracking cost metrics against corporate policy, and following up with the operations team when a metric goes off track. You are also the backup for the cost accountant, so the whole process needs to sit in your head, not one slice of it.
The costs come out of production: material, labour, overhead. If you have done a cost accounting or management accounting paper, that is the closest thing on your transcript to this job. Know what an accrual is and why a reclass entry gets posted at month end, because that is the work you will be handed first.
The lines that match this listing
Cost accounting coursework belongs near the top of your CV, and so does any internship where you touched inventory, bills of material, standard costing or variance analysis. Name the ERP you have used. The listing asks for ERP knowledge, and a bare three letters tells a recruiter nothing about whether you have posted a journal entry or just heard the term.
MS Office appears twice in different words, which says Excel is used daily. Say what you actually do in it: lookups, pivots, reconciliations. The unusual part of this posting is the process-improvement language, pocket kaizens and time-saving initiatives, sitting next to SOP writing and document management. Freshers rarely bring that, so if you have written up a process or found a faster way to do a repetitive task, even in a college project, it belongs here ahead of another line about your grades.
