One-size resume in a specialist market

The controller role at a PE-backed portfolio company reads nothing like the FP&A director at a public company. Your resume should know the difference.

78%

of senior accounting candidates use the same resume template they built as an associate.

"We shortlist based on the first third of the page. If I can't find your biggest number in ten seconds, you're not in the pile."

— Director of Finance Recruiting, Deloitte (2023)

Responsibilities, not results

"Managed month-end close" is a job description, not an achievement. We translate duties into dollar-denominated impact.

The document that got you to Senior Manager won't get you to Director.

Marcus Webb

Former Big Four Recruiting Lead · Resume Architect

I spent 11 years screening candidates for PwC, EY, and KPMG. I rejected thousands of qualified professionals because their resumes couldn't communicate what they actually built.

Ledger is the system I wish every candidate had walked in with. It's not design. It's forensic document architecture.

"Marcus sent us a candidate whose resume read like a due diligence memo. We hired her in two rounds. That document did half our screening for us."

Before

"Responsible for managing the monthly close process and preparing financial statements."

Generic. No scope. No impact.

After

"Engineered 4-day close cycle reduction (12→8 days) across 6 entities, freeing $2.1M in working capital for FY23 reinvestment."

Scope. Action. Dollar impact. Timeline.
