Rowan Fletcher, Accountant
Rowan Fletcher is an ACCA-qualified accountant six years into practice and industry, running the management accounts for a three-site food manufacturer, and applying for a finance manager role. An industry accountant is hired on whether the numbers land on time and whether the budget holds, so this resume states the close in working days, names the budget and the reforecast as owned rather than assisted, and keeps the practice years for the breadth they add.
Why this resume works
- The close is given as a movement in working days, ten to four over the first year, which is the figure a finance director asks about before anything else.
- The budget and the quarterly reforecast are stated as owned and presented, so the step from accountant to finance manager is already visible in the current role.
- Two clean year-ends in a row are set beside the VAT return, the two compliance deadlines an industry accountant is judged on.
- The practice role keeps its portfolio size and one rebuild, the fixed-asset register that had run on three spreadsheets, so the years in a firm read as more than compliance work.
- A Continuing Professional Development section lists three dated courses, which shows the ACCA membership is being kept current rather than merely held.
