Dear Hiring Manager:

With over 20 years of accounting experience I have learned the importance of accurate and detailed reporting using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; excellent communication – both oral and written – is extremely important to convey that information for decision making.

Accurate reporting requires analytical skills, dedication and sometimes long hours to provide correct information; that is how I approach and complete a project. I am looking forward in joining and spending years with an energetic, hardworking, ethical team to share my accounting and business knowledge to help with your efficiency and profits.

I would enjoy discussing this job opportunity with you and will provide any additional information you may need.

Sincerely,

Joseph Luigs

SUMMARY

Being a self-employed accountant, I have learned the importance of good working relations with clients, accurate detail and reporting along with time constraints. Cost, financial and ledger analysis are extremely important as they show trends towards profit or loss, clarity of verbal and written communications is a necessity in explaining that information. I have helped clients continue and increase profits on some lines of business and modify or cease other lines by observing sales and cost trends.
