Resume Roast for Accountants

An accountant's resume gets scanned for the close, the credentials, and the systems. How many days your month-end close took, whether the CPA letters are there or in progress, and which ERP you lived in. Detail-oriented professional is what every accounting resume says right before a typo. The reviewer wants the size of the books and the state of the audits.

What Gabe checks first on a Accountant resume

Describe the close you ran, like month-end close in 5 days for a 30 million revenue company. Close speed and entity size place you instantly.
Name your systems by product: QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, and your Excel depth. ERP match is often the first screening filter.
State CPA status plainly, licensed, in progress with exams passed, or not pursuing. Ambiguity here reads worse than any answer.

Worth knowing

Referred candidates are roughly 40 times more likely to reach an interview than cold applicants. (referral-to-interview research)
