How to write a finance & big 4 resume
Big Four Classic is built for candidates targeting the Big 4, investment banks, funds and corporate finance teams. The template handles the formatting, these are the content rules that win interviews in this field:
- 1Numbers are the language: deal sizes, portfolio values, error rates, hours saved. A finance bullet without a figure is a red flag.
- 2Name the frameworks and standards you actually used, IFRS, US GAAP, SOX, they're literal ATS search terms.
- 3Keep design austere. In this industry a colorful resume costs more interviews than it wins.
- 4Spell out credential progress precisely: “CPA program, 2 of 6 modules complete” beats “working towards CPA”.
