Update Your Resume for Chief Financial Officer Jobs
If you have enough experience to apply for a CFO role, writing a resume could be tricky. How do you summarize all your achievements in a one or two-page CFO resume? Well, you don’t. Instead, cherry-pick the experiences that match what’s required in the job offer and describe them with the same keywords.
Then, present them in the form of achievements with numbers, metrics and other quantifiable results. As CFOs are an important part of the leadership team, don’t forget to include your soft skills, especially those related to building relationships.
Top it all off with a powerful professional summary. Define your personal brand and what you are looking for in your next role. Finally, to attract recruiters, write a compelling cover letter. Explain what you can bring to the company and where you see your career going.
Interviewing for Chief Financial Officer Jobs
To lock in a C-suite role like the chief financial officer (CFO), expect multiple rounds of interviews to come your way. Focusing on your interview preparation is, therefore, crucial.

Recruiters will also want to hear about your experience in leadership. Prepare to talk about your managing style, your organizational processes, and your ideas for the prospective company you would work for. They’ll certainly ask you behavioral questions as well. Make sure to answer them following the STAR method for maximum efficacy. Above all be enthusiastic and make the company envision you as the leader they’re looking for.
