Business Analyst - Intern - #55469

As a Business Analyst Intern, you will work within our consulting team to support a large scale reporting project for a French industrial engineering firm. This role focuses on the bridge between technical system configuration and the financial reporting needs of a complex engineering organization. This is a fully remote position, allowing you to contribute to international projects from your own workspace.

About Alpine Business Consulting
Alpine Business Consulting operates where finance processes meet the systems that support them. We specialize in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and analytics, helping finance teams fix platforms that never delivered on their promises. While we build new systems from scratch, much of our work involves remediating existing setups in Oracle EPM, SAP BPC, and Power BI. We focus on the numbers side of the house, ensuring that consolidation rules, intercompany eliminations, and reporting pipelines reflect how a finance team actually operates.
Our approach moves away from typical implementation theatre. We prioritize finance-first configurations and fixed-price engagements, giving our clients certainty before any work begins. We do not believe in keeping clients dependent on us. Instead, we build administrator training and documentation into every project so teams can run their systems independently after go-live. We are a remote-first team of consultants who understand that a dashboard is only useful if the data is accurate to the cent and available the morning a period closes. Whether it is a cloud migration or a complex forecasting model, we value precision over presentation.

What You Will Do

• Review and organize financial data sets to ensure they are ready for import into EPM software.
• Assist senior consultants in mapping accounts and cost centers for our French industrial engineering client.
• Test system logic for intercompany eliminations to verify that the software matches accounting requirements.
• Draft clear, step by step administrator guides that help client finance teams manage their systems after the project ends.
• Attend remote project meetings to document technical requirements and track follow up tasks.
• Build basic reports in Excel or Power BI that help stakeholders visualize their financial performance.
• Investigate data discrepancies between source accounting records and final reporting dashboards.
• Help maintain project timelines by tracking the completion of specific configuration tasks.

What We Are Looking For

• A basic understanding of accounting principles or corporate finance from your university studies.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including comfort using formulas to organize and analyze data.
• Technical curiosity regarding how software handles business logic and financial consolidation.
• Clear written communication skills for creating technical documentation and project notes.
• A logical approach to problem solving and a high level of attention to detail.
• The ability to work independently in a remote setting while staying in close contact with the team.
• Willingness to learn tools like Power BI, Oracle, or SAP, even if you have not used them professionally.
• Fluency in English is required, as we work with international clients and teams.

What We Offer

• Direct experience with complex EPM projects for a global industrial client.
• Mentorship from experienced consultants who value technical precision and practical results.
• A fully remote working environment that respects your time and encourages focused work.
• This is a paid internship offering competitive compensation for the current market.
• Exposure to the reality of finance systems beyond the marketing claims of software vendors.
• A professional culture that avoids corporate jargon and focuses on delivering actual value to clients.

How We Work
We operate on the belief that consulting should be transparent and predictable. By using fixed-price engagements and clearly scoped deliverables, we avoid the open-ended timelines that often frustrate finance departments. Every project we undertake includes a heavy emphasis on training and documentation. This ensures that when our work is done, the client is fully equipped to manage their own reporting pipelines without needing ongoing support. We value work that is accurate and systems that stand up to the rigors of a fast month end close.
