To Whom It May Concern,

I am a finance corporate professional with an entrepreneurial brain looking to leverage more than fifteen years of strategic/tactical financial leadership along with experience in private equity, business development, operations, capital projects, personal investments and P&L management. Over the course of my fifteen-year career, I have been involved with all levels of a financial and sales teams, including a CFO-level manager. I have learned to adapt quickly to what is needed in a position and put together a team that can help achieve the organization’s overall financial goals. Every business faces the same profitability challenge. The latest business cycle taught us that companies need greater efficiency management as competitors are being squeezed out. I’m an efficiency junkie and my philosophy is to solve a problem the right way, so that the same issues do not return. I am always looking ahead to mitigate financial and operational risk. I also have an understanding of business that most corporate candidates do not have as I as I have owned my own restaurant and other small businesses on the side for eleven years. In both the small business and corporate worlds, I have excelled at taking things from “good to great.” At this point in my career, I am looking to invest myself into an organization whose mission is to be the best at what they do. I really do believe I am an excellent candidate to help grow and prosper correctly in the ever-changing world that we live in. If anything, I would love to hear more about your challenges that you are facing and the direction that the organization is heading. I look forward to speaking with you more about my qualifications and welcome you to contact me at the telephone number or email address listed above. I have attached my résumé for your review and thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Miller
