Template 40 of 59
Finance
For analyst, accounting and treasury roles. Garamond sets smaller than it looks at the same point size, which is what buys rows of figures; the dates are tabular, so a ten-year timeline lines up in a column; and a heavier rule under a title-case heading keeps a dense page legible without spending a second colour on it.
The numbers
Every figure below is a value in the template registry the builder ships (assets/js/render/templates.js), or a size derived from it by the same multipliers the document stylesheet uses. Body text is not the preset’s nominal point size: it is that figure corrected for the face’s optical size, which is why a 10 pt Helvetica preset renders at 11.73 pt here. Nothing on this page is a measured pass rate or a hiring outcome, because neither exists.

What it is for
Good at
- Parsed applications: one column, no tables, no images, and a heading alone on its own line.
- Garamond, which is a reading face rather than a scanning one, at 11.46 pt.
- Black and white printing. The builder already treats this preset as print-safe, so every fill and hue is gone.
- A page size of Letter, which is what most of the mail in that country is.
Bad at
- A reader who wants the layout to say something about them. It is a document, not a signal.
- Screens, where a serif at 11.46 pt is a page people scroll past rather than read.
- A house style of your own: this preset is the builder’s, not your organisation’s.
ATS profile
Clean
Structurally this is the plain case: one column, no tables, no text boxes, no images, and a section heading standing alone on its own line. Nothing on the published failure lists applies.
It is print-safe as well as clean, which is a stronger claim than most presets can make: no fills, no hue, and hairlines thickened for toner.
What no layout can do is make a parse correct. The ATS guide is blunt about this, and no vendor publishes an accuracy figure, so this page will not invent one.
Still yours to get right
A clean layout with a placeholder employer named “Company 1” is still a document a parser discards. No template can fix a sentence that describes effort instead of effect. Start with the resume basics guide and the one on quantifying impact.

Profile
Garamond under ruled headings, tabular dates. Built for figures. Nine years across distribution and light manufacturing, most of it spent on the unglamorous half of the job: getting a forecast, a rota and a supplier to agree with each other.
