A useful starting point
Show the tax, the clients or business, and a saving or risk you handled. Two pages. Skip “good with numbers”. Skip this if you only processed returns with no advice — say tax technician or bookkeeper instead.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
