 This article is going to be pretty straightforward and to the point. While some resumes such as those for college students or resumes for teachers might need some special consideration, that's really not the case when putting together resumes for accountants. It's a fairly common financial profession that deals with numbers a lot, so we don't have to worry about things like the number of research papers published.
Resume Styles for Accountants
When choosing a resume style for an accountant position, we are going to provide our standard guidance on resume formats before we show you a link where you can download an example resume for free. That's because you need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each resume format before you decide which is best based on your own individual work history.
-
Chronological Resume - the chronological resume is the most popular of all resume types. Its focus is on where you've worked in the past, with secondary consideration for the knowledge and skills you've gained.
-
Functional Resume - by contrast, the functional resume is a good choice for accountants that are right out of school or don't have a lot of work experience. It's also a good choice if you want to hide a significant employment gap.
-
Since the combination resume is arguably the most complex resume format you can use, our accountant example is going to be in that style. There are plenty of references elsewhere on this website that allow you to find examples of the other resume styles. As is the case with all of our examples, you can download the example for free and use the resume template we've provided to get a jump on your own resume.
Sample Resumes for Accountants
As we've already mentioned, a resume for an accountant should be pretty straightforward. The only thing worth talking about here is that accountants may have professional certifications - such as in the case of a Certified Public Accountant or CPA. Our example will show you exactly where to include these certifications so they grab the attention of the reader.
You can download the sample here - Accountant Resume. The example we've provided is just that, an example. Our hope in providing all of the examples appearing in this website is that they help our readers to generate ideas of their own. There is simply no substitute for the unique work experiences and qualifications that each of us has gained through the years.
