Free CV check for accountancy roles
Score your CV against what accountancy employers actually screen for — qualification, reporting framework, core process, systems — plus the hiring norms of the country you are applying in.
Quick answer
An accountancy CV is screened on three things: where you are in your qualification, which reporting framework you actually work under, and which systems you have used in anger. Recruiters filter on those before they read a single achievement, so they belong near the top.
Your CV is read on this device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent to an AI model for the score.

What a accountancy reviewer looks for
- — Qualification status (body, stage, expected completion)
- — Reporting frameworks you work under (IFRS, local GAAP)
- — Systems and tools, named specifically
- — Experience with scale stated (turnover, entities, team size)
- — Education and any exemptions
What gets CVs binned
- — Hiding qualification status, or leaving a reviewer to guess how many papers remain.
- — Describing duties without any scale — 'prepared accounts' means nothing without size.
- — Omitting the reporting framework, which is the first filter for group roles.
- — Generic 'MS Office' instead of the actual finance systems used.
- — No indication of language or local-GAAP fit when applying cross-border.
