  • One column in reading order, with standard headings, so applicant tracking systems read it top to bottom.

Who it is for

For accounting, finance, banking, consulting and operations, where a conservative page signals the right things.

Writing a finance resume

  • Put qualifications such as CPA, ACCA or CFA where they are seen early, with the year.
  • Quantify with the numbers you were responsible for: portfolio size, close timelines, savings found.
  • Name the systems you use (ERP, consolidation and reporting tools) in Skills.
  • Keep the language precise; finance readers notice vague claims.

Questions about this template

Where do I list my CFA or ACCA?

In a Professional Qualifications section near the top, which this layout suggests. Include the year and status if you are still a candidate.

Is a serif resume right for banking and consulting?

It is a common, conservative choice in those fields, and it parses as cleanly as a sans-serif.

Can I use it for operations roles?

Yes. It suits operations and supply chain roles too; rename the qualification section to Certifications if that fits better.
