Financial Analyst at ABB

At ABB, we help industries run leaner and cleaner—and every person here makes that happen. You'll be empowered to lead, supported to grow, and proud of the impact we create together. Join us and help run what runs the world.

As a Financial Analyst at ABB, you won't just crunch numbers — you'll shape the story behind them.

You'll present your findings directly to management, giving you meaningful visibility and a platform to drive change.

You'll also play a key role in ensuring ABB's financial integrity — owning reconciliations, compliance frameworks, and audit-readiness — while partnering with project teams to identify risks and opportunities that directly impact revenue and cash flow.

If you're someone who thrives on turning data into decisions, loves building efficient processes, and wants to grow in an environment where your analytical skills genuinely move the needle — this is the role for you.
