Example bullet points
Strong résumé bullets lead with a result and a number. Here are examples you can adapt:
- Owned monthly forecasting and rolling 12-month outlook for a $400M revenue portfolio, improving forecast accuracy from 88% to 96%.
- Led GAAP-compliant month-end close, shortening the cycle from 10 to 6 business days.
- Built driver-based financial models used by the CFO for board packs and two successful capital raises totaling $75M.
Questions
Where should certifications like CPA go?
Near the top. Finance recruiters and ATS look for CPA, CFA or MBA early, so the builder places a certifications section prominently.
Is a conservative design better for finance?
Yes. Finance favours clean, single-column, no-frills formatting — which is exactly what keeps a résumé ATS-safe.
