How do you highlight actual operational finance skills so you don’t get automatically denied? Staring at my resume trying to figure out how to frame "SOX compliance testing" so it doesn't immediately condemn me to a lifetime of Internal Audit roles. I want to pivot into general corporate accounting or financial operations. I actually helped design a workflow automation that cut our closing cycle down by two days, which is way more strategic than just checking user access logs.

Perhaps highlight those things on your resume and position yourself as a strategic operations leader.
