Accounts, audit and tax. A Nepali employer checks the software and the filing first.

An accountant CV is read for three things before anything else: which software you use, which returns you have filed, and how big the books were. The example above names them — Tally, VAT and TDS through the IRD portal, payroll for 40 staff — because 'handled accounts' tells an employer nothing. Use the same format for an accountant resume in Nepal or India, whether you are applying to a trading company, a hotel, an audit firm or an NGO.
Summary
Accountant with five years in trading and hospitality. Handle the full monthly cycle alone — day book to trial balance, VAT return and TDS deposit through the IRD portal, and payroll for 40 staff. Have sat through two statutory audits as the person the auditors asked.

Accountant CV for freshers
A fresher accountant CV leads with the degree and the software. Put your BBS, BBA or B.Com with the year, then Tally or any accounting training you have done. An internship at an audit firm or a company's accounts department is your best experience — describe it in numbers: how many vouchers you entered a day, which reconciliations you did. If you helped a family business keep its books, that counts too; say what you kept and for how long.

Common questions
What skills should I put on an accountant CV?
Name the software and the tasks: Tally or TallyPrime, VAT and TDS filing, payroll, bank reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable, trial balance, and the Excel functions you use. Employers scan for these by name.
How do I write an accountant CV with no experience?
Lead with your commerce or management degree and any Tally or accounting training. Treat an internship as experience and describe it in numbers — vouchers entered, reconciliations done — and list any books you kept for a family business.
Should an accountant CV be one page or two?
One page for a fresher or junior accountant. Two pages is fine with several years of experience, as long as the first page carries your summary, current job and software skills.
Can I use this accountant CV format in India?
Yes. Replace IRD and VAT with GST and TDS filing on the Indian portals, and list ICAI membership or CA levels if you have them. The structure and the order stay the same.
