Paste your resume and a accountant job posting. See which of the posting's keywords your resume shows and which are missing.
Your resume stays in your browser: what you paste or open here isn't sent anywhere unless you choose to continue. This page counts visits with Google Analytics and runs no advertising pixels.
The checker runs in your browser. Keyword coverage is which of this job's keywords your resume shows, in any word form. It is a tailoring guide, not an ATS score and not a prediction of interviews. Add a keyword only where it's true for you. If you have done the work, say so in the job's words. If you haven't, leave it out.

Read from the sample posting above by the same rules the checker uses. Real postings for this role vary, so paste the one you're applying to.
Keywords are read from the posting by fixed rules, without AI: tool and product names, certifications and other capitalised terms, common skill phrases, items in the posting's skill lists, and phrases the posting repeats. Requirements count most. Remove any that don't fit, or add your own.
Suggest rewrites your resume in the job's terms, only from what's true: it works from your own resume and this job, and you keep or discard each change.
Free to start, no credit card required. Continuing sends your resume and this job to CareerGenius so it can suggest rewrites.
Yes, unless you are working toward it. Then say exactly where you are, for example "CPA candidate (FAR passed)".
Yes, when you describe the accounting work in the posting's terms: reconciliations, accounts payable, journal entries.
No. No tool can tell you how a particular employer's system will rank your resume, so CareerGenius doesn't show an ATS score, a pass rate or your odds of an interview. Keyword coverage only shows which of the posting's keywords your resume states.
No. The check runs in your browser. Your resume and the job text aren't sent to CareerGenius or anyone else unless you choose to continue to tailoring, which needs a free account. The page counts visits with Google Analytics (the page address, not what you paste) and loads no advertising pixels.
The checker looks for the keyword itself in any word form ("managed" for "management"), not for a synonym. If you did the work but described it differently, use the posting's word where it is accurate.
No. Add a keyword only where it's true for you. A resume that claims a skill you don't have can cost you the interview, and the job.
No account is needed to check keywords. An account is needed only to save your resume and get rewrite suggestions for a job.
