What holds most finance resumes back
- Writing finance bullets without showing what the analysis was used for or what decision it supported
- Not specifying the financial models or tools you have built or used: DCF, LBO, three-statement, scenario models
- Leaving out financial software experience listed in the job description, such as SAP, Oracle, or Anaplan
- Not distinguishing between the type of finance work you have done when applying to a specialized role
