Dear Sir/Madam:
I was excited to see that there is an opportunity to work with your
company. As you know it is difficult to find hard working, dedicated
individuals who understand the business environment in which today's
organizations must operate, less, with a vision to the future.
I have had extensive cross-functional business expertise, and I have had
the opportunity to experience multiple facets of business working with both
privately held companies and publicly traded corporations. I feel that
this coupled with my "team approach" is a great element for success.
Enclosed is a copy of my resume' for your consideration.
As you can see I have a solid grounding in all facets of accounting and
have a proven record of accomplishment solving complex financial and
operations problems. I have a broad background in financial and
administrative management from designing systems and internal controls to
redesigning purchasing and cost accounting systems to improve efficiency,
profitability and competitive stance. I am not afraid to "roll up my
sleeves and tackle a job head on!" In addition, my extensive cash
flow/collection experience is a tremendous asset, which could assist in the
new global economy.
As a seasoned accounting professional, I have had the opportunity to be an
instrumental factor in the improvement of many corporations' financial
condition I recently developed and improved the cash flow and financial
reporting for manufacturing company and developed an effective inventory
internal control system for an oil and gas operations.
I feel my qualifications would be a great asset to your company. In
addition, I would appreciate the opportunity to outline further in a
personal interview what I would bring. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
"Innovation through Vision"
Sincerely,
Charles S. Dunlap
