What Accountantrecruiters & ATS look for
- ERP/accounting systems in the ad (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks)
- Standards (GAAP, IFRS) and the reporting you owned
- Certifications (CPA, CA, ACCA, CMA) where required
- Close cycle ownership and its speed/accuracy
- Reconciliations, audit, and compliance experience
Common Accountant resume mistakes
- Omitting the exact accounting system the employer runs
- "Handled the accounts" with no scope or standard
- Leaving the required certification off the top of the resume
ATS tip: Put your certification and the ad's accounting system near the top, and quantify the close ("owned a 5-day month-end close").
