Top 3 Issues

1

9 of your 13 experience bullets use passive, vague language — "responsible for", "assisted with", "involved in" — that bulge bracket recruiters skip past in under 3 seconds.

2

Zero financial metrics across all work experience. No deal sizes, AUM figures, percentages, or revenue impact. A JPMorgan recruiter would stop reading here.

3

Critical IB keywords absent from your skills section: "DCF", "LBO", "precedent transactions", "capital markets", "mandate" — your CV will not pass ATS screening.

Spent three weeks polishing my CV. This took 60 seconds to catch what my careers centre never did — zero deal exposure language, weak bullet structure, missing ATS keywords. Fixed it overnight. Got Barclays.

Two of the rewritten bullets are on my CV verbatim. It knows exactly how asset management teams talk. I sent this link to every friend in my year group applying to AM roles.

The keyword gap section alone was worth the £19. I was missing 11 ATS terms specific to S&T roles. Added them and started getting callbacks within a week. Actual game changer.

FAQ

Common questions

How is a finance CV scored?

Your CV is scored 0–100 across six weighted criteria: metrics & quantification (25%), bullet point quality (20%), role-fit alignment (20%), structure & formatting (15%), education (10%), and skills & keywords (10%). Each is benchmarked against successful candidates at firms like Goldman Sachs, Citadel, and KKR.

Is this just generic CV advice?

No. Every point is specific to your CV — it quotes your actual bullets and explains exactly why each one is weak. The rubric also adapts to your target role, so an investment banking CV and a quantitative research CV are judged against entirely different criteria.

How is this different from my university careers service?

Careers services give general guidance like "use strong verbs". This gives you firm-specific feedback: your exact bullets rewritten in top-tier analyst voice, the precise ATS keywords your CV is missing, and a ranked action plan — all benchmarked to bulge-bracket and top-fund standards.

How long should a finance CV be?

One page for students and recent graduates; up to two pages once you have a few years of relevant experience. Bulge-bracket recruiters treat a two-page student CV as a red flag — fitting everything onto one page is itself part of the test.

What do I get for £19?

The full report: a scored breakdown of all six sections, three of your weakest bullets rewritten in top-firm voice, a role-specific list of missing keywords, a ranked action plan, and a benchmark against a successful candidate at your target firm tier. The score preview is always free.

How much does a finance CV review cost?

Professional CV writers and careers consultants typically charge £100–400, and university careers services are free but give generic feedback. Finance CV Audit gives you a finance-specific score for free, and the full report — your CV rewritten, missing keywords, a ranked action plan, and a recruiting guide — for a one-time £19.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes — a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If the full report does not help you improve your CV, email us within 30 days and we will refund the £19 in full.

Is my CV kept private?

Yes. Your CV is analysed in real time and is not stored after the analysis, never sold, and never shared for marketing. We keep only the email you provide to send your report and a short series of follow-up tips, which you can unsubscribe from at any time. See our Privacy Policy for full detail.

What file types do you support?

PDF and Word (.docx), up to 10MB. The PDF must be text-based rather than a scanned image, so the analysis can read your actual CV text. Upload takes about five seconds.
