Who it suits

Applicants in Europe and international organisations, and anyone who likes a clear, form-like structure that is easy to compare and scan.

Ledger keeps one reading order from top to bottom, so a recruiter and an online application system meet your sections in the same sequence.

Its traditional styling suits conservative fields such as law, finance, the public sector, and academia, where a familiar format is often expected.

Ledger does not show a photo, which matches the usual expectation for CVs in the UK, Ireland, the US, and Canada.

Your information, your order

Add or remove entries, move sections, and keep only what matters for your application. Empty sections stay out of your CV, and longer documents flow across multiple pages.

Pick one of ten accent colours, choose your own, or keep the template’s. You can also switch between a sans and serif body and tighten or open up the spacing. You can switch templates in the editor without losing your details, and preview every page before downloading your free PDF.
