An accounting CV should illustrate quantitative skills and, of course, any experience you have acquired in the field. Make sure to include any exchange programmes or study abroad experiences. Traveling and living abroad shows you can adapt well to new situations. Companies of all types are keen to see graduates with leadership capabilities, if you have had a leadership role in a school or university club, team, magazine, or organisation make sure to include it.
