ATS Resume Checker for Audit Associate / Big Four Graduate Roles

What this checker looks for in a Audit Associate resume

With no job description pasted, the checker compares your resume against the keyword profile below. Paste a real posting into the job description box for a tighter, posting-specific match. Keywords are matched as whole words or phrases, so use the wording employers use, and only list skills you can discuss in an interview.

The core and differentiator lists are our editorial summary of commonly listed skills for this role, not scraped data. Employers differ; the posting you apply to always wins.

How the score reads

The checker scores experience, keywords, impact, education, structure and format together. On its own scale, 85 or higher is labeled Excellent, 70 to 84 Good, 50 to 69 Fair and below 50 Needs work. This is our own rubric, not an industry standard, and real applicant tracking systems differ. See how the score is calculated.
