Tips for a chartered accountant resume

  • ✓Mention first-attempt passes or ranks — they matter to Big 4 and large firms.
  • ✓Describe articleship by the work you did (audits, returns, client size), not just the firm’s name.
  • ✓Choose a focus for each application: an audit role and a GST role need different bullets at the top.
