How to write an accounts receivable clerk resume

Craft a resume summary statement

A resume summary is your opening statement that highlights your strongest skills and top accomplishments. It is your chance to quickly let recruiters know who you are professionally - and why they should hire you for the accounts receivable clerk role.

Step 1: Start with your current job title, or the one you aspire to. Are you a passionate manager? A skilled analyst? It's a good starting point.

Step 2: Next put your years of experience in accounts receivable clerk-related roles.

Step 3: Now is the time to put your biggest accomplishment or something you are professionally proud of.

Step 4: Read over what you have written. It should be 2-4 sentences. Your goal is to summarize your experience, not recite your resume.

Hiring managers spend under a minute reviewing resumes on average. This means your summary needs to demonstrate your value quickly and show why you are the perfect fit for the accounts receivable clerk position.

Please upload your resume so Zippia’s job hunt AI can draft a summary statement for you.

List the right project manager skills

Use your Skills section to show you have the knowledge and technical ability to do the job. Here is how to make the most of your skills section and make sure you have the right keywords:

Start with the job listing. Frequently, the keywords looked for by recruiters will be listed. Be careful to include all skills in the job listing you have experience with.
Consider all the software and tools you use on a daily basis. When in doubt, list them!
Make sure you use accurate and up to date terms for all the skills listed.

These five steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some accounts receivable clerk interviews.

Here are example skills to include in your “Area of Expertise” on an accounts receivable clerk resume:

How to structure your work experience

Next you should include your work experience. Structure your work experience section by listing your most recent experience first, followed by earlier roles in reverse chronological order.

Start with your job title, company name, city, and state on the left. Align dates in month and year format on the right-hand side.

Include only recent, relevant jobs. Avoid including work experience over 20 years to avoid ageism.

Beneath each job, you should have bullet points to emphasize why you're the perfect fit for the accounts receivable clerk.

How to write accounts receivable clerk experience bullet points

Your resume is not a list of responsibilities or a job description. Instead, it is your chance to show your accomplishments and show why you're good at what you do.

Use the What, How, and Why format. Answering these questions turns a bland job description into an effective showcase of your abilities.
What were your responsibilities or goals?
How did you accomplish them?
Why were your results important? (How did it impact your company? Can you quantify the results in numbers? )

Here are effective examples from accounts receivable clerk resumes:

Add an education section to your resume

Here is the best way to format your education section:

Display your highest degree first.
If you graduated over 5 years ago, put this section at the bottom of your resume. If you lack relevant work experience, the education section should go to the top.
If you have a bachelor's or master's degree, do not list your high school education.
If your graduation year is more than 15-20 years ago, it's better not to include dates in this section.

Here are some examples of good education entries from accounts receivable clerk resumes:

High School Diploma

2009 - 2009

Bachelor's Degree in general studies

Ball State University, Muncie, IN

2009 - 2012

Highlight your accounts receivable clerk certifications on your resume

Certifications can be a crucial part of your resume. Many jobs have required certifications.

Start simple. Include the full name of the certification. It's also good to mention the organization that issued the certification. Next, specify when you obtained the certification.

If you have any of these certifications, be sure to include them on your accounts receivable clerk resume:

Certified Management Accountant (CMA)
International Accredited Business Accountant (IABA)
Certified Medical Office Manager (CMOM)
Certified Resume Specialist: Accounting and Finance (CRS+AF)
