Dear Sir or Madam:
I am applying for the staff accountant position you seek to fill. As
a staff accountant at Walsh Landscape Construction, Midwest Direct Mailers
and Filtration Group, I enter journal entries, reconcile accounts,
reconcile the bank statement and perform other accounting duties such as
adding new account number to the general ledger and the financial
statements. As the acting controller at Walsh Landscape, I close the books
for the month, print the monthly financial reports and review them with the
president and owner of the company. I also performed other accounting
duties such as 1099's and W-2's. I assist and back up the accounts
payable, accounts receivable and payroll departments.
At Filtration Group as the material analyst, I ordered all of our
plant's raw material, maintained and controlled its inventory, maintained
the item master database and reviewed the product structures.
I am a self-motivated, organized person who can perform multiple
tasks with little or no supervision. I am proficient in Word, Excel, ADP
and MRP. I have performed training for office staff and management in
phone operations, software updates installation and new features.
I have been performing customer services either in person or on the
phone for over 20 years. I enjoy helping and working with people in a team
environment.
I truly believe that I would be an asset to your company by using my
accounting and payroll skills to help the account department. I look
forward to the opportunity to becoming a member of the team.
Cordially,
Lisa Heim
