B.Com fresher resume · 2026A resume for B.Com freshers, with a full sample.
Most B.Com freshers apply for accounts, banking, finance operations and tax roles — and every one of them screens for the same few things: Tally, GST, Excel, and proof you have used them. Below is a complete sample, the skills and keywords each role looks for, what to write if you have no internship, and a free builder that writes yours in English, Hindi or Hinglish.

The B.Com fresher resume format
One page, one column, in this order. It is the same order as any fresher resume; what changes for commerce is what goes in each part.
| Section | What a commerce recruiter looks for |
|---|---|
| Contact details | Name, phone, a professional email, your city. LinkedIn if it has something on it. |
| Summary | Your degree and specialisation, the accounting work you have done, and the role you want. |
| Education | B.Com with specialisation, college, years, CGPA or %. Class XII below — many employers ask. |
| Internship or training | A CA firm, a company’s accounts team, a bank. What you did, for how many clients. |
| Project | Your final-year project report, with what you found — in one or two lines. |
| Skills | Tally Prime, GST, TDS, Excel functions by name, bank reconciliation, languages. |
| Certifications | Tally, GST, NISM, NCFM — and CA, CMA or CS Inter status if you are appearing. |
Skills and keywords by role
Recruiters search for these words, and screening systems match them. Use the ones you genuinely have, in the job ad's own spelling — "Tally Prime", not "accounting software".
| Role | Keywords to show, where true |
|---|---|
| Accounts executive / assistant | Tally Prime, GST returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B), TDS, vouchers, ledgers, bank reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable |
| Audit or tax assistant | Statutory audit, vouching, GST filing, income tax returns, TDS returns, Form 26AS, working papers |
| Banking operations | KYC, account opening, cash handling, customer service, cross-selling, CASA, loan documentation |
| Finance & accounting process (KPO/BPO) | Accounts payable (P2P), accounts receivable (O2C), record to report (R2R), invoice processing, reconciliation, SAP or Oracle basics |
| MIS or financial analyst trainee | Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, SUMIFS), MIS reports, variance analysis, budgeting, Power BI basics |
Writing the summary
Two or three lines, about you and the job — never a line that could be anyone's.
- Weak: Hardworking B.Com graduate seeking a challenging position in a reputed organisation.
- Strong: B.Com (Accounting and Finance) graduate with six months at a CA firm — GST returns, TDS entries and bank reconciliations for 15 clients in Tally Prime. Looking for an accounts executive role.
No internship? What to write instead
Plenty of B.Com students finish without a formal internship. The page still needs evidence that you can do the work — it just comes from elsewhere:
- Your final-year project report, with the finding: "Compared the cash flow of two FMCG companies over five years; found X" says more than the title alone.
- Practical work you have done — keeping the accounts of a family shop, filing GST for a relative's business, a Tally practice company with a month of real-looking entries.
- Certifications with the skill in their name: a Tally Prime with GST course, NISM or NCFM modules, an Excel course with the functions you learnt.
- Positions and activities — treasurer of a college society (you handled real money and receipts), commerce fest organiser, NSS.
If you are also doing CA, CMA or CS
Put the status under education: "CA Intermediate — cleared Group I, May 2025" or "CMA Inter — appearing June 2026". Employers read it as evidence of depth in accounts and tax. Articleship goes under experience, written like any job: the firm, the months, and what you did for how many clients.
Mistakes that cost B.Com freshers interviews
- "Knowledge of Tally" with nothing to show you have used it — say what you did in it.
- "MS Office" instead of the Excel functions the job needs, named.
- A two-page resume with a declaration, father's name and a signature line — none of it is read.
- Leaving out Class XII marks for a bank or finance role that screens on them.
- One resume for every job. A banking role and an audit role want different words at the top.
Will it get through the screening software?
Banks, Big Four firms and finance process companies hire freshers in volume through an applicant tracking system. Keep the layout to one column and real text, and use the job's words for your skills — the ATS-friendly resume guide covers why. To see what a particular job asks for that your resume does not say, check your ATS score against it.
