How to find Accountants with Boolean search strings
To find an Accountant, use Boolean search on Google to find resumes and profiles. Modify our examples to build a Boolean search string for an accountant that match your criteria.
Generic search string to find Accountants
Build a generic search string around terms like:
- -job -jobs -sample -examples, to exclude irrelevant results
- (intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) to discover online resumes and CVs
- (accountant OR bookkeeper) to cover similar accounting job titles
Here’s an example of a simple string to find resumes:
(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) (accountant OR bookkeeper) -job -jobs -sample -templates
With this Boolean search string for accountant, the words “resume” or “CV” have to appear in the page title. Adding variations of titles helps you expand your search. Excluding more terms will reduce false positives.
Search for profiles and portfolios of Accountants
You can find Accountants on social networks using Boolean search in Google by including the site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:
- site:meetup.com accountant “member since”
- site:facebook.com inurl:about “tax accountant” “new york”
Add more criteria in your Boolean strings for accountants to find profiles that better match your requirements.
