Dear Hiring Coordinator,
My main focus has been in the accounting/bookkeeping field, and I have
multiple years of experience as an Office Manager as well as being the
right hand assistant to the business owners. I have 18 years of experience
with full cycle accounting including AP, AR, GL, PR and taxes,
employee/employer relations, human resources, and confidentiality
agreements. I have superb organizational skills, people management and
prioritization skills, and am able to work independently or as a productive
member of any team.
In working in the Accounting field, I've worked for companies in many
different industries ranging from legal to construction to sales and
marketing to insurance. Working within these different industries has
provided me with a wide range of skills and understandings when it comes to
the general operations of various types of businesses.
In working in the law field, I've gained firsthand knowledge of the
importance of maintaining confidentiality in dealings with clients, co-
counsel and law clerks. I've also acknowledged the importance of accurate
and up-to-date record keeping, as well as strict compliance with State and
Federal deadlines. In working in the construction field, I've gained
valuable knowledge regarding costs of goods sold and inventory management.
In working in the insurance arena, I am well versed with the types and
differences in personal and company insurance policies. In working in the
sales and marketing, I've gained an insight into the importance of
customer/client relations.
I am driven, motivated and very result-oriented. I am able to work
simultaneously on multiple projects through successful completion. Overall,
I am professional, meticulous and detail oriented, as well as having the
ability to think outside of the box. I take great pride in my work product
and thrive in any situation presented.
I am very confident that, with the skills I have acquired, I can become an
asset to your company.
