Highlight your software skills (Tally, Excel), certifications, and any practical projects you worked on during training. At Accounting Baba, the placement team builds an AI-assisted resume for every student.

3. Prepare for Interviews

Common accounting interview questions in Surat: What is the entry for GST on purchases? How do you handle TDS on salary? Walk me through a bank reconciliation. These are practiced during mock interviews in the course.
