This is rich. You can’t make this stuff up. I viewed a job posting today and here is what it said:

Contract to Hire Financial Analyst

I am currently conducting a search for an entry level Financial Analyst. The ideal candidate will have a degree in Accounting or Finance and approximately 2 years experience as a Financial Analyst. Job Duties will include the preparation of profit and loss statements, monthly closing, cost accounting reporting, analyzing budgets and forecasting.

The ideal candidate will have a working knowledge of accounting transaction flows, account reconciliation and internal controls.

I guess there is no “Entry Level” anymore.
