Hi guys,

I have been working in a very small CA/CPA (Chartered Accountancy) firm of 5-6 people since a couple of months and I need to get a 'work experience letter' from my boss and I am confused what to put in as my 'job title'. While normally, someone working in a CA/CPA firm would be termed as an 'accountant' because he holds a CA/CPA degree, I only have a Bachelors in Accounting & Finance and a Masters in Management. My duties on the job have so far involved preparing refund letters for clients, filing online rectifications for income tax, preparing lists of clients in Excel and helping the boss with some other stuff. Ofcourse, I have knowledge of Accounting but I have hardly done any of it in my office. My boss is not sure what to put as my job title either (yes, he's not too smart) and is asking me to let him know what he wants me to put in there. Any clues what I should put in??

neville.... you can go with Assistant accountant OR Jr. Accountant

Further when you go for personal interview you may explain at personal interview what you did in office..

I agree with Nirav..If you are doing a specific aspect such as say Tax or Audit, you may add this in (... ) to help the prospective employer understand your practical exposure...

Thank you for the responses !!

A question - Since I have a Masters degree in Commerce, I don't want to be called just a clerk or 'Accounts Executive' who does all the side things like filing, making coffee (I don't but web definitions say that clerks do that also), etc.

I'd rather be called a Junior Accountant, because I believe it would have more weightage and I do have a little acctg. experience with Tally too.

What do you guys think??
