RE: CFO

As a Regional Controller for a Fortune 500 and a 1000 corporation for 14

years, I am seeking to leverage my accomplishments and expertise as a

proven Accounting & Finance Executive within the Sales, Distribution and

Manufacture Sectors into a challenging Accounting/Financial leadership role

with a leading firm in the greater Houston, Texas area.

However, rather than being exactly like the hundreds of other applicants

that will surely apply stating that they meet, or exceed all your

requirements and qualifications; a rather tough call without a telephone,

or personal interview, let me say that I bring more than 20 years of

diverse Accounting leadership within highly competitive environments by

building and mentoring strong, responsive teams that provide the highest

levels of efficiency, productivity, cost control and accuracy.

I have taken the liberty of attaching my Professional Summary for your

review and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you, or your

designate to investigate opportunities in greater depth. I am sure we both

hope to see if this matches both our immediate requirements and those that

lie ahead in the future.

Thank you in advance for your time and kind consideration. Please visit my

LinkedIn site under Jim Matticks, as well as my video resume, which is

linked below.

Sincerely,

Jim Matticks
