Fictional example for illustration — names, employers and numbers are invented, but every bullet follows the honest formula: action + scope + verifiable result. Never copy claims you can't defend in an interview.
Close time is your headline number
Days-to-close, audit adjustments, entities owned — controllers hire accountants on process reliability, and these numbers prove it faster than any duties list.
CPA in the title line and education
ATS filters search "CPA" literally; recruiters skim the name line. Put it in both places, with the state and year in education.
Name the ERP
NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks, Workday — system experience is a hard screening keyword and a training-cost signal.
