Accountant Biodata Format for a Job: Accounts Assistant and Accountant

A CA firm, a trader, a distributor or a company hiring an accountant reads a biodata for four things: your commerce qualification, the accounting software you use, the statutory work you have handled (GST, TDS) and how much of the books you managed. A general biodata hides all four under personal details. This format brings them to the top.

When this format is the right one

Use it for an accountant, accounts assistant, accounts executive, junior accountant, billing and accounts or articleship post with a CA firm, a shop or distributor, a private company, a school, a hospital, a society or a government contract post that asks for a biodata.
