How do you write a professional summary for a financial manager resume?

A professional profile summary should be between 1 to 4 sentences and located at the top of your resume just under contact information. It should illustrate what you bring to the table and highlight a few core skills and achievement-based examples from your career.

For example, "High-performing financial advisor with 6+ years of experience. Highly skilled in financial planning and analysis. In my previous position, I raised the client satisfaction score from 85% to 99% through using automation."

If you're just starting your career, we recommend writing a professional summary that focuses on your skills and training. However, you should add one professional achievement, such as an internship.

For example, "Thorough, detail-driven finance professional and recent graduate poised for an entry-level financial analyst position that requires in-depth experience with corporate finance models, data analysis and financial forecasting."
