I just graduated from college and I have about 2 months before I start at a F500 company as a Financial Analyst. I studied economics so I don't know a lot about accounting or finance. How should I best prepare for my start date over the next two months?

Every company has different ways of doing things, so there is no "one size fits all" approach to prepare yourself for a Corp Fin job. There are a couple basics that you can brush up on however since you don't have a finance or accounting degree. First, make sure you understand the basic acronyms- ROI, NBI, EBIT, AR, AP, GAAP, COGS, NI, P&L, etc. Finance equations can be looked up when needed, but the basic acronyms that are thrown around in conversation should be committed to memory. Second, listen to the company's previous earnings call and read their 10k.
