3 mistakes accountant resumes make

  1. “Tally” with no version or scope

    Say Tally Prime or ERP 9, plus any Zoho Books, SAP or Busy you've used, and the volume you handled, such as 300 vouchers a day or 40 party ledgers.

  2. Compliance work not named

    “Finalisation of accounts” is vague. Name the filings you actually did: GSTR-1 and 3B, TDS returns, e-way bills, advance tax workings.

  3. No sense of company size

    An accountant for a ₹5 crore shop and one for a ₹60 crore trader do different work. State the turnover, the number of entities and the size of your team.
