Help Needed with Resume Bullet Points
I’m looking for some help in rephrasing a few bullet points on my resume, and I’d greatly appreciate any assistance!
To give you some context, I work as an Accounting clerk for a large organization that includes a parent company and four subsidiaries, operating in both non-profit and for-profit sectors. My responsibilities primarily involve processing bank deposits and accounts receivable for all five companies, as well as intercompany invoicing. I also handle accounts payable for two of the companies, which includes coding invoices and printing checks. Additionally, I oversee several grants, ensuring that recipients submit their receipts correctly and that they do not double-dip when using funds from multiple grants. Some grants require upfront spending, while others are disbursed in increments, so I maintain a spreadsheet to track payments, amounts, and necessary documentation. My role also includes basic GL reconciliations and intercompany account reconciliations, alongside assisting with year-end Audit preparations and various audits throughout the year.
This is my first position in Accounting, and I’m still a student, expecting to graduate in June 2026. I’ve been in this role for about three months now and want to enhance my resume. While I don’t have standout achievements yet, I started right before the year-end Audit preparation, and I genuinely enjoy my job.
I’m struggling with how to express my daily responsibilities and identify the most important points to highlight. Here are the five bullet points I currently have on my resume:
-
Develop and maintain detailed summary workbooks for multiple grants, outlining all financial and analytical activities related to funds received and distributed.
-
Oversee accounts receivable and bank deposits for five companies while managing accounts payable for two.
-
Prepare invoices for monthly intercompany grant transfers and the monthly clear-out of prepaid expenses across various grants and projects.
-
Conduct monthly reconciliations for the general ledger and intercompany accounts.
-
Assist with annual year-end Audit preparations and multiple grant audits throughout the year.
Any feedback on rewording or improving these bullet points would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
