Dear HR Manager:
I am a skilled individual with 15 years experience in public and corporate
accounting, auditing, bookkeeping, payroll, HR and office management. The

controller responsibilities.
Job reviews have described me as pleasurable, dedicated, trust-worthy,
competent, efficient, hard-working and great ability to multi-task and take
on challenges with ease. The quality of my work has been described as
accurate, neat, organized and informative.
The qualifications, job responsibilities and experience needed for an
