Dear Sir,
My experience in accounting and financial functions spans over 15 years, with the large majority of my experience as an Accounting Manager. The details of my responsibilities and accomplishments are outlined on my resume; what I would like to convey here are the underlying traits and abilities indicated through my background:
I am well-versed in a broad range of accounting and administrative functions. Through my experience in these activities, I am able to make quick, well-formed decisions as issues and problems arise.
Able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, to follow up on these tasks to the last detail, and to report on their progress at a moment’s notice.
I maintain a clear focus on producing results. Whether it is through achieving a high completion rate for on-time payments or influencing team members to improve their capabilities, I stress that actions without positive results are costly and set back company goals. Thus, the “end result” is my priority.
Researched and participated in documenting accounting treatment for bankruptcy, asset acquisition, leases, capital funding and all sorts of due diligence requirements and loan covenants.
In addition to a results-driven approach, you can be assured that I would uphold the highest level of work detail and ethical standards as a member of your team. I am flexible and adaptable to both new situations and changing organizational needs. I am ready to bring my skills and abilities to work for a company such as yours with greater opportunities for advancement.
My resume is enclosed to provide you with specific details concerning my background and qualifications. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss
Yours Sincerely,
Christopher Daniels.
