Dear Mr. Wilson,
Iām excited to be applying for the accounting job at [Organization X] in [City, State]. My skills in accounts payable and receivable are well-matched with the job advertisement on [website.com] under section [Careers]. Therefore, I want you to consider my application for the accounting position. I certainly can contribute to [Organization X] when it concerns industry accounting.
To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Name], and I have 10+ years of experience working in industry accounting at [Organization Y]. During my third-year internship, I started writing checks and managing budgets for vendors. Since then I am passionate about developing my career in the field of accounting. I am thrilled about the prospect of working with [Organization X], and contribute to establishing budgets with your department.
During my employment at [Organization Y], I was responsible for working on budgets with departments and executives. I helped to analyse previous years, and forecast how budgets need to be handled in the upcoming years. As a senior accountant, I was responsible for the cash-flow between different departments, doing reimbursements when needed, and ensuring that everything was done with proper documentation and correct financial practices. Basically, I have direct experience in working with vendor contracts, invoices and tax documentation on a daily basis. At [Organization Y], I even received recognition for these tasks and was awarded accountant of the year in 2022.
In the attachment, you can find my references and resume. Last mentioned includes a demonstration of my knowledge in making budgets and capability to understand financial practices to keep a budget on track. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you in person. For any questions, you can contact me via [Phone number] or [E-mail address]. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
