RE:
Dear Mr(s).______________:
Your job opening sounds perfect. As a new graduate, I’m seeking an entry-level A/P, accounting, and financial support position exactly like that outlined in the scope of responsibilities for this position.
While attending college, I handled an eclectic load of classes covering accounts receivable, accounts payable, cost accounting, auditing, report analysis, and payroll — among many others.
I know each financial department is set up differently; and with my experiences, I can handle the expectations and needs of your department.
Also, I interned as an A/P clerk during the summer with John-Jilly, Inc., here in Cincinnati, which allowed me to support the Controller and Accounting Manager with receiving, auditing, and submitting 1,000s of invoices for approval.
I also participated in an internal audit with the company’s outside accounting firm.
That was a bit intense at times! I was also trained on the company’s ERP financial system as well as audited and balanced various bank accounts.
The extent of college experience allows me to fulfill key accounting capacities, from a “right-hand” accounting assistant to one that can work effectively with your clients and vendors/suppliers.
You’ll discover that I can flourish regardless of the demands and expectations placed upon me.
In fact, here’s a list of everyday tasks that I can handle with _________:
■ Address simple to complex tasks, from assisting with operating procedures and account administration to specific items like A/R, A/P, payroll, and internal auditing
■ Monitor incoming and outgoing finances to ensure the company’s “financial wellness”
■ Assist your financial department that may consist of an audit manager, controller, and CFO
■ Maintain accounting statements, databases, and other financial information under the direction of your staff and other key departments
Call me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx, Mr. ___________, so we can schedule a time to sit down and discuss this position in length. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Samuel J. Future
Attachment
