A useful articleship CV tells a firm three things quickly: your present course stage, what you can already do and when you can join. For CA and CMA candidates applying in Ahmedabad, a clear, accurate application is more helpful than a long document filled with unsupported skill claims.

To apply to PGT & Associates, email your resume to pgtulsian@gmail.com. Identify whether you seek CA articleship or a CMA practical-training discussion; these are different training routes and should not be presented as interchangeable.

Contact details and professional summary

Put your name, mobile number, email and current city at the top. A short summary can state your course stage, preferred learning areas and availability. You do not need to publish your full residential address or identity-document numbers in an initial CV.

Examination and training status

List the course, examination level, groups completed and relevant dates accurately. If a result is awaited, say so. CA applicants should state ICITSS status where relevant; CMA applicants should identify their registration and training position without claiming employer recognition that has not been confirmed.

Education, projects and genuine skills

Include relevant education in reverse chronological order.
Describe academic or volunteer projects using the task, your contribution and the outcome.
Name spreadsheet functions you can actually demonstrate, rather than writing “advanced Excel” without evidence.
Mention accounting software only at the level you have used it.
Keep examination attempts and marks accurate wherever included.

Turn vague skills into clear evidence

Instead of “good at accounting”, describe a practice exercise: “Prepared a bank reconciliation from a sample ledger and statement, investigated unmatched entries and documented the remaining differences.” Label it as an academic or practice exercise. Do not imply that sample work was a real client assignment.

Instead of “expert in GST”, say which concepts or tasks you have studied and what you want to learn under supervision. A trainee application should demonstrate care and curiosity, rather than claim expertise before practical experience.

Frequently asked questions

Should CA and CMA applicants use the same CV?

The overall layout can be similar, but course status, training requirements and learning interests should be specific to the applicant. Do not describe CA articleship as automatically satisfying CMA practical training.

Can a fresher apply without a long skills list?

Yes, you can send an honest application for consideration. Explain your academic preparation and willingness to learn; the firm decides suitability and current opportunities.

Where should applications be sent?

Send your updated CV to pgtulsian@gmail.com and mention Ahmedabad in the subject. Review the firm's articleship page before applying, and confirm all joining terms directly.
