What we change for finance
Figures move up
Deal size, assets under management, portfolio scope, cost saved, variance closed. Where a line carries no figure, we flag it so you can add one before the final version.
A proper deal sheet
The transactions you list, laid out with role, size and outcome — on the resume or as a second page. You decide what is disclosable; we format it.
Licences stated plainly
Series registrations, CFA level, CPA, FRM — with dates, in a block a compliance reviewer can verify without hunting.
Conservative typesetting
This is not the field for a two-column pastel layout. Tight, serious, legible at a glance and intact after upload.
Buy-side and sell-side
Two variants where you are applying to both, because each rewards a different half of the same career.
Portfolio, if warranted
Worth adding if you publish research or hold a disclosable track record. ₹699, or leave it out.
What you receive
Layout studies, not finished documents — yours is built from the material you send us.
The resume
One page, single column, with no graphic element an applicant tracking system will discard. A header, a three-line summary carrying your two strongest figures, then experience with a number on nearly every line.
- Licences and certifications in their own block
- Deal or portfolio band drawn out as a strip
- Education last, unless you are within two years of it
- PDF and an editable DOCX in the same layout
The curriculum vitae
For board papers, regulatory filings, expert-witness work and senior internal moves, where one page is insufficient and the reader wants the full record.
- Complete transaction and mandate history
- Committee and board service
- Publications, research notes and speaking
- Numbered pages, structured for straightforward updating
The portfolio
Optional in finance, and worthwhile when you publish research, hold a disclosable track record, or want a single address at the foot of every application.
- Two or three transactions written up as short cases
- Research notes and commentary, set out properly
- Put live on free hosting in your name; your own domain connected for +₹349
- Editable after handover, with no recurring fee to us
