B.Com Fresher Resume for Accounts Executive Jobs (Tally, GST): Sample and Tips

Nm7 Team · 16 Oct 2026 · 5 min read

Quick answer: A B.Com fresher resume for an accounts executive job should be one page and show your degree, accounting skills (Tally Prime, GST, TDS basics, Advanced Excel), any articleship, internship or practical training, and 2–3 short project or training bullets. Recruiters want proof you can do day-to-day entries, reconciliations and basic GST work, so name the exact tasks you have practised.

What do employers look for in a B.Com fresher accounts resume?

Small and mid-size companies, CA firms and trading businesses in India hire freshers as accounts assistants, accounts executives or junior accountants. The daily work usually includes voucher entry, maintaining ledgers, bank reconciliation, preparing GST data, vendor payments and Excel reports.

So your resume should answer three questions fast: Do you know Tally? Do you understand GST basics? Can you work with Excel? Practical training, internships at CA firms or a family business all count as experience.

How do I write accounts project and training bullets? (3 examples)

Use the pattern action verb + task + tool + scale or result. Numbers are examples only.

  1. Entered about 300 purchase and sales vouchers per month in Tally Prime for 4 small business clients during CA firm training, with GST rates applied correctly on each invoice.
  2. Prepared monthly bank reconciliation statements for 2 clients, found and listed 15 unmatched entries, and shared them with the senior accountant for correction.
  3. Analysed 5 years of annual reports of a listed FMCG company in Excel for my final-year project and calculated working capital, current ratio and inventory days, presented in a 10-page report.

If you did a Tally course or NPTEL course, list it properly. See how to list internships and certifications.

What are common mistakes on B.Com fresher resumes?

  • Writing only "Tally" with no tasks. Say what you did in Tally: voucher entry, GST invoices, bank reconciliation.
  • Claiming you "filed GST returns" when you only helped prepare data. Be exact: "helped prepare data for GSTR-1".
  • Skipping practical training. Work in a family shop, a CA firm or a Tally course counts. Add it.
  • Long personal details sections with father's name, religion and marital status. Most private jobs do not need these. Read what personal details belong on an Indian resume.
  • A generic objective like "seeking a challenging position". Mention accounts, Tally and GST.
  • Spelling errors in accounting terms such as "recievable" or "ledgar". Accounts work needs accuracy, so check carefully.

Should I mention CA Inter, CMA or M.Com plans?

Yes, if they are real. If you have cleared CA Foundation or one group of CA Intermediate, add it under education with the attempt month and year. If you are pursuing M.Com or CMA, write "pursuing" with the expected year. Do not list exams you only plan to write.
