Why a serif for finance
Finance recruiters see hundreds of near-identical resumes. A well-set serif with one accent mark looks considered while staying conservative, and leaves the reader's attention for the numbers.
How to fill it
Lead bullets with the size of what you handled (budget, portfolio, entities) and the result (forecast error, close days, savings). Put qualifications such as CFA or CA in Certifications with the level and year.
When to pick another
For investment banking applications that expect one dense page, Compact or Plain fit more. For senior finance leaders, Executive leads with achievements.
Words to use
The layout is half of it. For the terms recruiters search for, see the keyword lists for business analyst, data analyst and project manager resumes.
