I feel that I am qualified for this opportunity. I have over 30 years experience in a full cycle accounting
environment. I have strong software and IT skills in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. I have been responsible
for system design and implementation. I have always enjoyed working in an environment where I could help out as
the need arose. I have a strong work ethic - I believe that one should contribute 100% when on the job. I am
friendly and have a positive outlook on life. I look forward to meeting with you to determine if I would be a good
match for the position of Accounting Manager.
