What this example does well

  • The qualification is in the first line of the summary: for most accounting roles it is the first thing screened for.
  • Numbers give scale: the size of the entity, the number of ledgers, how many days the close took before and after.
  • Systems are named exactly (Sage Intacct, Excel Power Query), because job ads ask for them by name.
  • A conventional layout, which suits a conservative profession.

The person and employers in this example are fictional. Shown in the Classic template; you can switch templates at any time.

Daniel Okafor

ACCA-qualified financial accountant with seven years in practice and industry. I run month-end and year-end for multi-entity groups, and I like turning a slow close into a predictable one.
