You have decided you are ready to look for a new role. You have a good idea of what you want your next career move to be and you have started to look at job boards and adverts. Now you need to get your accounting resume looking sharp! But how do you make your resume stand out from all the others?
We look at thousands of resumes every week and I have some tips to help your CV get noticed and ultimately secure you an interview! Once you have read the 10 points below, why not review our Accounting resume templates here.
It’s important to make it clear what qualifications you have, from where and when. You have worked so hard for these – you should be proud of them! Remember to state where your qualification is from if the course(s) are still in 
progress, and how long before you complete them. For example, if you are part-way through your CA, you should include how many modules were completed and that it was CA ANZ – i.e., 2020 – Present, Part-qualified Chartered Accountant (2 of 5 modules completed), CA ANZ.
Some companies have very similar names and it’s important to be clear about where and who you have worked for. Under each company, include a short description of what the company does, revenue, number of employees, and location. If they are listed, this would be a great place to mention that fact as well. This way, anyone reading your resume can be clear about the industry experience you have.
Paragraphs are too hard to read on a resume. You want all the key information on your CV to be easy to read for the hiring manager. You have the right experience; you don’t want the reader to miss it. Concise, clear bullet points will give you a clean and well-structured format to ensure the reader identifies your key duties quickly and doesn't get lost in too much detail.
