Janifer
Budget Analyst

I primarily work with our financial system and how it interfaces with some of 
our other systems, such as payroll, procurements, or our travel systems. I spend 
a great deal of time talking to our customers and helping them understand how 
budget relates to or impacts the other systems that they use on a daily basis.

I graduated with a bachelor of science degree in accounting. Once I completed 
college, I worked for an investment -- global investment company, doing 
investing accounting.

If you're interested in applying for a budget analyst position at the IRS, you 
definitely need to have a degree. You need to be a strong thinker, willing to 
learn new things, and just enthusiastic about learning all that you can about 
the federal budget process.

Oh, the most enjoyable part of my job is definitely talking to people every day. 
I am a people person, and I really enjoy speaking to people in Texas, Arizona, 
New York, Florida, you name it, I speak to them every day, and it really helps 
to give me a better view of the  IRS and what their mission is.

I was originally hired as a budget analyst in 2004. I'm still a budget analyst 
now. I've received numerous promotions since I've been in my short term here in 
Internal Revenue Service, so the promotion potential is, is definitely there.
