Finance CVs that show more than
your qualifications.
Most candidates for a qualified role will have ACA, ACCA or CIMA after their name, so the letters alone won't separate you. What does is evidence that your work shaped decisions, which is where the ICAEW has been pushing the profession. We build that into your CV alongside the technical detail recruiters still check for.
Early career, senior finance or retraining into accountancy.
What your CV has to prove depends on your stage and on where you're applying, because practice and industry employers read finance CVs very differently. Here's how we handle each.
Qualified people are hard to find.
Two thirds of UK finance hiring managers say they'd pay above their planned range to secure qualified talent, according to Robert Half's 2026 salary guide, and permanent roles for ACA, ACCA and CIMA-qualified accountants are regularly taking more than eight weeks to fill.
That demand sits mostly at the qualified, commercial end. Accountants with strong technical grounding and business partnering experience have plenty of options, while junior transactional roles and some graduate routes have softened as automation and cost pressure bite.
It's the shift the ICAEW has been describing for some time. As routine processing gets automated, the value of a qualified accountant moves towards influencing decisions, and your CV needs to show you can do that.

Professionals who got where they wanted to go.
James Greenall was brilliant, he totally grasped what I wanted off the back of a single phone call. I work in quite a niche industry so this was super impressive. All really quick an easy and now I have a great CV to hit the ground running. Excellent service James, thanks so much. It was a pleasure and I would not hesitate to recommend you.
I am so pleased with the service and end result. They did a great free CV review for me which made me realise that expertise was required. Sarah arranged a call, we discussed my career and she listened. Then as promised the documents arrived. As she had really paid attention I had very few amends, the CV and cover letter are professional, concise, informative and what I need for the next step in my career. It's a fantastic service which I will recommend to others, writing a CV is so hard for yourself! Thank you so much!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Louise, and I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding job she did on my CV. Louise was professional, attentive and clearly dedicated to producing a high quality result. The whole process was smooth and efficient and Louise made it easy every step of the way. I highly recommend to anyone looking to elevate their professional profile.

Finance CV writing: common questions
Yes. Our finance CV writing covers practice and industry, from AAT trainees and accounts assistants to financial controllers and finance directors. We know how employers read ACA, ACCA and CIMA, exam stages and PQE, and we set out your frameworks, systems and results the way finance recruiters expect to see them.
If you're part-qualified or recently qualified, yes. List your qualification, the exam stage you've reached and your expected completion date, and mention first-time passes if you have them, as practice firms often look for them. A few years after qualifying, your PQE and what you've delivered matter more than exam detail.
Yes. Practice firms usually want your qualification, the frameworks you've worked under, such as IFRS, FRS 102 or UK GAAP, and your technical skills ahead of your client list. Industry employers look for budgeting, forecasting and business partnering, and how your work shaped decisions. We write for whichever you're targeting.
Our professional CV writing starts at £229 for finance professionals up to senior manager level. For heads of finance and above, executive CV writing starts at £329.
You'll receive your completed CV within three business days of your consultation call. Order before 2pm and your writer is assigned the same day.
