ATTN: Human Resources

Enclosed is my resume outlining more than 25+ years’ extensive experience in Accounting/Finance. I’m looking for an organization where, I can grow and show my expertise. As you will see, my credentials include progressive responsibility with documented success in all array of accounting/finance at various organizational levels.

As today's economic and competitive pressures place tighter constraints on business, accounting managers with a diverse background can provide greater value when budgets are tight. I quickly learned to evaluate and measure biased criteria, handle many duties at the same time, organize material and information methodically, work to maximize gross profit, and meet or exceed expectations in what best benefit the organization.

With many years of experience in accounting and finance, I am confident I will make a significant contribution at your company. What makes me different from other applicants?

I am self-motivated and dependable.

Have demonstrated poise and confidence while speaking and presenting financial reports.

Easily establish excellent rapport with others.

Quickly identify needs and problems, and then provide solutions.

I have strong evaluation, planning, and leadership skills. I also have the motivation and drive to be an asset to any company. I consistently present a high-profile, professional demeanor, complemented by a positive, "can-do" attitude.

I welcome the opportunity to elaborate on how I could make a substantial contribution to your organization. I look forward to talking with you soon. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Marilyn D. Barnes
