Financial Analyst Management

March **, ****

Dear Sir or Madam:

As a motivated financial analyst with proven capabilities, I

believe this position would be an excellent fit for both of us. My

past education and work experience has thoroughly prepared me for

all your job requirements. I graduated from Rochester Institute of

Technology in May 2004 with a Bachelors of Science in Finance and a

minor in Economics. In addition to receiving an outstanding

education, RIT stressed essential business qualities, including team

building and leadership skills, interpersonal skills, and the value

of professionalism.

While working at IBM as a revenue financial analyst for three

and a half years, I was responsible for managing of all contractual

monthly invoices, revenue and tax reconciliations, statement of work

review and approvals, overseeing invoice adjustments, and ensuring

full compliance with SOX and IBM internal auditing guidelines. I

have excellent PC skills, with a strong command of Excel and Word.

I was responsible for developing financial planning and forecasting

reports on a monthly and quarterly basis.

I believe that I have all of the qualifications, ability and

enthusiasm to contribute to your company. I appreciate the

opportunity to speak with you about the position and how I might

become part of your team.

Thank you for your consideration,

Andrew T. Carroll
