Resume Format for B.Com Freshers

The resume format for B.Com freshers should prove two things quickly: you understand accounts, and you can use the software Indian firms run on. Recruiters for accounts executive, audit assistant, banking and back-office roles look for Tally, GST, Excel and any hands-on exposure — an internship, articleship or even a family business. Lead with those, and keep the page clean and single-column.

Frequently asked questions

What skills should a B.Com fresher put on a resume?

Tally Prime, GST and TDS basics, bank reconciliation, Excel (VLOOKUP, pivot tables) and accounting principles, plus communication skills for client-facing roles.

Should I mention my CA or CMA attempt?

Yes, if you have cleared a level or group. State it plainly, for example "CA Intermediate — Group 1 cleared". It signals subject knowledge even without work experience.

What if I have no internship?

Add practical work you have done: helping a family business with GST returns, a college finance project or a Tally certification exercise. Describe the task and the scale.
