Budget Analyst Jobs in New Jersey

A Budget Analyst in the finance industry is responsible for helping organizations, both public and private, organize their finances. The professional evaluates budget proposals and funding requests, conducts cost-benefit analyses to determine the most cost-effective solutions, and establishes and enforces budget guidelines and procedures. The analyst then prepares regular reports detailing the organization's financial status and communicates their findings to management and stakeholders. They also review and monitor spending to ensure it remains within budget. They offer guidance and technical assistance when preparing budgets, review budget proposals, and prepare financial analysis reports.

Potential Budget Analysts should have strong skills in numerical computation, analysis, problem-solving, and communication. They should also possess a keen understanding of financial forecasting and data analysis. Holding a Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) credential can be beneficial, though it's not a strict requirement. A Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, accounting, or a related field is often required, but many employers prefer candidates with an MBA or related advanced degree. Before becoming a Budget Analyst, potential candidates often gain experience in roles such as Financial Analyst, Accounting Analyst, or Cost Estimator.
