Dear Hiring Manager,

I am permanently relocating to Florida. I read your online job posting for Accountant with keen interest, as I believe my skills and strengths are an excellent match for this position. You need someone who is highly organized and effective and who can remain positive and pleasant under strict deadlines. I believe my experience and education serves me well for this role.

In my capacity as a Senior Accountant at Gemstone Supermarkets Inc., I accurately maintained multiple ledgers with FMS Solutions while self managing multiple projects and learning new concepts regularly under deadlines. I was responsible for managing multiple regions of accounts involving managing employees’ payroll, managing accounts payable and receivable. I was solely responsible for the purchasing and managing of stationery and office equipment for these locations.

I have also worked in several customer service roles prior to receiving my college education, allowing me to develop excellent communication and conflict resolution skills. I’m proficient in accounting software including but not limited to Microsoft Excel, Word and Sage Accounting Software.

Having worked on many projects as a detailed oriented person, I am very enthusiastic about the possibility to work with a diverse team while managing sole responsibility as an accountant. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my qualifications would be an asset to the company’s continued success. My resume is enclosed for your reference.

Sincerely,

Surrendranath Diaram
