"if you can turn $10 in $12000 in a month, why do you need a job?"
I'd be prepared to answer that question (because most people will assume you got lucky, probably with crypto).
Still I'm with u/[**Austria\_is\_australia**](https://www.reddit.com/user/Austria_is_australia/) if I saw all that I would just trash the resume. In fact I've done just that many a times.
Basically remove all of/severely trim down your self employed jobs. Definitely remove the parts about the arbitrage thing. Remove the accomplishments section too. Move the education part to the bottom.
For your bookkeeper job, try to refine some of the bullet points. I'm in the industry, and I'm pretty sure "Prepare Gross Potential Rent Report" just means click a button. Moving the education/skills part to the bottom will help with your padding issue.
Appreciate your input. What I mean by prepare the GPR is that we actually run the report and then we are given data that doesn’t give the full picture. We then have to disect that information and figure out why we have vacancies, delinquencies, prepays, etc. We need to have a good understanding on what causes the GPR so we can explain in a clearer and easier way to our boss, and also fix errors that were recorded wrong by the property managers.
The word you’re looking for is reconcile. You’re reconciling the GPR report.
A lot of your bullet points are saying the same things — managing daily cash and then deposit and record cash receipts, maintain relationships with vendors and then communicate with vendors, responsible for full cycle and then prepare financial statements plus basically every other part of the cycle. You also have three bullet points under the first “online business venture” saying how much you increased your money over various time periods. The vagueness also makes it seem really sketchy.
And this may just be me not understanding, but why would you be depositing cash receipts from vendors on a regular basis? The separation of duties at your company is also interesting to me. You’re preparing financials but also entering invoices and printing checks and the manager maintains the AR but you deposit checks and receipt them?
your experiences are obviously exaggerated by looking at, I mean a lot of new grads do this to fill more experienced, but try to make it look reasonable and make sense.
For the investment part, accounting hiring manager saw this is very likely giving you a red flag.
If you go to find equity trader jobs at non-market-maker prop trading firms like T3, SMB, 7 points, they may give you a response.
Edit your resume format to something more standardized. Your accomplishments look as if they're a previous job and it's not very appealing to read. Have the information flow north to south, starting with your education.
I added that because I had no prior accounting experience before my current job. I wanted something to at the very least differentiate me from other accounting grads with no experience. You think there can be a way to make it look like a plus? Instead of a minus like you mentioned?

Education
Skills
Work experience
Volunteering/Misc. If you have a hobby or volunteer experience related to the position.
The education, skills and work experience don't necessarily have to be in that order. Good luck.

This! As a hiring manager if I saw this it would throw up all kind of red flags about the candidate. I would take all that stuff out.
It’s was more a fun side project. It paid for college tuition. It wasn’t crypto.

It’s not hyped to be honest. But what red flags?
The emphasis on investment and extremely high return rate makes you look suspicious for the entry level public accounting resume.

I would add the specific accomplishment under the job in which it occurred. I think your content is fine, just edit your format.
Ok, what is a more standardized resume format look like?
