My experience and education are an excellent fit for your job opening. I am an accounting professional with an emphasis on general corporate accounting. I am totally comfortable working independently or together with a collaborative team. I help organizations like yours calculate an accurate reckoning of their financial position, utilizing the three assumptions, the four principals and the five constraints of GAAP.

I have recent hands-on experience using several different ERP accounting systems including Workday and Sage 100.

I am fluent using Excel spreadsheets, including complex formulas. In fact, my accounting department co-workers at Electronic Drives & Controls and at Innovex came to me, whenever they had Excel questions. I am a team-player who is always delighted to help my co-workers be more productive and improve themselves. And I am always eager to augment my own skills. I recently completed instructional classes to learn MS PowerPoint and Pivot Tables in Excel.

My Accounting, Math and Spreadsheet skills have been tested on Indeed.com. In each of the eight examinations that I took, my score was either "Proficient", "Highly Proficient" or "Expert". The assessment section of my Indeed.com profile displays these test results.

I also passed the challenging Linked In tests for Accounting and Excel, thereby earning an official Linked In badge in both subjects, which can be seen in my Linked In profile.

If I become a member of your team, your company benefits because I am constantly focused on competent completion of the current task at hand. Feel free to contact me to arrange an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I acknowledge the fact that my recent corporate accounting experience includes some significant employment gaps, (filled with substitute teaching work). This is because I am taking time to selectively search for just the right accounting position, where I can perform my job comfortably and impeccably, while being an effective valuable part of a great team.

Respectfully,

Paul Rottmann
