Is Hyacinth Delacroix-Mwangi a real bookkeeper

No. She is invented for this page, and so are Tallowbridge Accountancy Services and Stapleford Community Trust. The figures show a shape and describe nobody.

What is the most useful bookkeeping figure

Client count with a turnover range. Twenty-six clients from GBP 80 000 to GBP 4 million tells a practice manager the complexity you are used to, which a client count alone does not.

What did the checker score it

99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 2 points short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 98 × 40% for content. The writing check beside it scored 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied, and the five points it withheld are the tense rule.

Is charity work a different job

Different enough to be worth its own role. Restricted funds, grant claims and independent examination are vocabulary a charity client will look for, and a bookkeeper who has done it is not easy to find.

Classic, one of the eight layouts these examples were moved onto on 2026-09-14.

Bookkeeping is judged on whether the books are right and the deadlines were met, and both of those are countable. This example is written out in full so you can read the counted version, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser stores. The candidate is invented.

Clients, payroll, deadlines

Twenty-six clients with turnover from GBP 80 000 to GBP 4 million. Payroll for 340 employees a month across eighteen clients with no late submissions in three years. A bank reconciliation backlog of 2 000 items cleared for three inherited clients.

The range on the client turnover is the useful part. A bookkeeper who handles a four million pound business and an eighty thousand pound one is describing a range of complexity, and a practice manager is hiring against exactly that range.

The charity block is a second specialism

Nine restricted funds, forty grant claims a year, four annual accounts files prepared for independent examination. Charity bookkeeping has its own rules and its own vocabulary, and keeping that role visible makes this candidate the obvious choice for any practice with charity clients.

The system consolidation line is the commercial one: year end preparation down 34% after fourteen clients moved onto one system. That is a saving the practice feels every January.

This page used to be on a side-column design

It was rendered in Sidebar, and the paragraph here argued for the side column as a deliberate demonstration of the trade: a document that reads top to bottom on paper and left to right in an extracted text layer can end up with the skills interleaved through the experience. That argument is left standing as a description of the risk. What changed on 2026-09-14 is the document, which was moved onto Classic, so this page no longer demonstrates a risk it also recommends against.

Classic is one of the eight layouts these examples were moved onto. The eight came out of a measurement rather than a flag: of the 37 layouts in the gallery, 24 export a PDF whose text layer scores exactly what the pasted text scores, on both test documents, in a single column, with the reading order kept and no graphics, and the eight were taken from that set. That is a property of the layout, measured on its own export, and it says nothing about a particular employer's software. The ATS checker measures the document rather than the label, and if you want a side column the responsible move is to export the file and check it rather than to assume.

Skills for a bookkeeper résumé, grouped

Hyacinth's skills fall into books, payroll and tax, and clients. Books: double entry bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, credit control, year end preparation, charity fund accounting. Payroll and tax: payroll, VAT returns. Clients and software: Xero, QuickBooks, client training. An accountancy practice reads the software and client items as proof you can be given clients directly.

In-house bookkeepers group around one company's processes instead, so rename the groups to match. Name and order the groups yourself in the free résumé builder, or keep one list.

From accounts assistant to senior bookkeeper

An accounts assistant's résumé proves accuracy: invoices entered, statements reconciled, queries answered. The Tallowbridge first role shows that. A bookkeeper adds clients, payroll runs and deadlines kept.

A senior bookkeeper adds a portfolio and a specialism: clients managed, charity accounts prepared, clients trained on software. Put the licence in certifications. The certifications guide covers the format.

How it reads and scores

The ATS checker scored it 99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 2 points short. The second reading is the writing check, which asks how the document is written rather than what a parser can find in it, and it scored 95: 91 of the 96 points that applied. How the reading and the score are produced is set out in the note on how these examples are made.

What to change for your own

Change the client base. Practice bookkeeping, in-house, construction industry scheme work and charity finance all use this shape with different compliance calendars. Then put in your own client counts, turnover ranges, payroll headcount and submission record.

Keep the licence with its year. The guide on certifications covers placement, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the accountant example, the translator example and the teaching assistant example sit beside this one.
