Probably mixed opinions on this but Alteryx and SQL

Right now, Python + Selenium for web scraping and data cleaning is big. Also, Power Automate if you're in a Microsoft-heavy workplace. Bonus points if you can show how your automations saved time or cut errors; that’s what hiring managers love.

Lately I’ve seen people focus on tools like Alteryx for data prep, Power BI for reporting, and Power Automate for streamlining approvals or journal entries. Even basic Python for recon automation is becoming a strong differentiator on accounting resumes.

Awesome thanks I’ll have a look into these

Python is the one that I’m focusing on. Fairly basic but it’s a start. Do you have anything in mind currently?

Yes python is great to learn. I was able to use it to pull custom GL parameters and save them into folders and manipulate them for variance analysis. Looking for other use cases.
