Our programs
The Financial Management Associates program (FMA) provides
Financial Management Associates with the challenge of diverse
rotational assignments in various finance areas across all Citi
segments. Financial Management Associates have the opportunity to
work closely with senior-level finance managers in key areas
including Strategy & M&A, Financial Planning and Analysis,
Treasury and Controllers.
What makes the FMA program unique is the cross-business exposure
that the FMAs experience. Where else could you spend six months in
a Citi Strategy role assessing Citi's next acquisition, spend six
months in Financial Planning for one of Citi's biggest sectors, and
then learn how money is moved at Citi by spending six months in a
Treasury function? In addition, FMAs will be paired up with a
Senior Mentor who will guide, support and mentor them throughout
the program. These are professionals who have volunteered their
time to mentor FMAs, and therefore have a strong commitment to the
program and to the future leaders of Citi.
Program Details
The Financial Management Associates (FMA) program consists of
three six-month rotations with an optional international
placement., By offering a range of experiences, it will ensure you
receive a broad, global persepective, both professionally and
personally. You will be able to choose where you would like to be
based, from locations such as NA (New York City), Asia, LATAM and
Japan.
Several key elements of the FMA program
include:
Access – Start at the top. You’ll gain direct
access to Citi's senior Finance leaders while working with
carefully selected managers who know how to maximize your potential
and develop your careers. You’ll learn about Citi Finance from the
people who shape it every day.
Global Reach – Build an endless network. You’ll
select your region from four major global sites. Additionally,
you’ll be exposed to varied global perspectives and businesses by
spending one of your three rotations on an international assignment
outside your region. Much like the business school experience,
you’ll develop close ties within the FMA community at Citi and
strengthen these relationships throughout your career.
Leadership – As part of a leadership
development program, FMAs are viewed as the pipeline for future
finance leaders of Citi. So you’ll be encouraged to develop your
management skills at every stage of your three rotations.
Responsibility – Contribute from day one. Part
of Citi's growth strategy depends on the entrepreneurial spirit of
our employees. As a full-time member of the team, you’ll apply your
leadership skills in a customized curriculum to accelerate your
learning and professional development.
Empowerment – Be part of the action. Right away
you’ll be challanged to become intricately involved in the
fast-paced analytical and dynamic financial environment of a
world-class corporation.
Mentors: From the start, you’ll be paired up
with a Senior Mentor who will guide, support and mentor you
throughout the program. These are professionals who have
volunteered their time to mentor FMAs, and therefore have a strong
commitment to the program and the future leaders of Citi.
Upon successful completion of the program
After learning and contributing to the business during the
program, many Financial Management Associates take Vice
President-level finance positions that ultimately lead to important
leadership roles inside Citi businesses. The FMA program is a great
launching point for a successful career path in finance.
