Recruiter tips for Accountant CVs

Accountant CVs should lead with your qualification status (ACCA, CIMA, ACA) and pace. Both are hard filters.
Show close cycle and accuracy metrics. Month-end days and restatements are core performance signals.
Mention your systems: SAP, Oracle, Xero, Excel modelling. They are baseline filters for most roles.
Include business partnering. Accountants who influence decisions stand out from those who just report.
