Finance and Accounting professionals should follow basic resume writing guidelines to produce a resume. Individuals in an executive or management position may want to review the guidelines for those particular resume styles.
For professionals in the finance and accounting industry, resumes should be one page unless if you have had less than 4 jobs and less than 15 years of experience. Their is not reason to go into tremendous detail. A simple list of you core skills and responsibilities with a few statements of achievement can generally be enough to gain interest.
Of course, you should make sure to highlight significant certifications such as noting your are a CPA (please don't miss that).. I often tell people to include CPA after their name on the resume as seen in the CPA - Controller resume sample below. Also make sure to include information about your brokerage licenses obtained, such as Series 7, if those pertain to your job position.
The finance and accounting resume samples were contributed from resume service firms across the country. These resume services include professional and certified resume writers from the NRWA and PARW.
