To whom it may concern,
Life has taught me that hard work and determination make anything possible. In applying for the role of Accountant, I hope to exhibit these qualities in my pursuit to make a valuable contribution to your business and the profession. An opportunity to build up experience as part of your team, would be highly valued.
I completed my traineeship at Leask Incorporated and recently worked post-articles at PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
This gave me a chance to work hands-on with clients and build good relationships. I gained exposure to a wide range of accounting functions, namely the preparation of the bookkeeping and VAT Reports for completion of VAT Returns, compilation of financial reports from source document to Financial Statement level, the preparation of tax reports for the completion and submission of Income Tax Returns for individuals, trusts, CC’s and companies. I have performed employees’ tax calculations, prepared EMP 501 reconciliations and submitted EMP201 returns. I was tasked with preparing returns for the Unemployment Insurance Fund, Rand Mutual Assurance and the Compensation Commissioner and additionally handled the subsequent administration, including queries and discrepancies. With the benefit of this exposure, I’m enthusiastic about developing my career. I am an approachable and friendly individual who is eager to learn. I am reliable and committed and believe in completing what one has set out to achieve. I work well both individually and in a team. I consider myself to be quite resilient and believe that I would be an asset to your business. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and I trust that my application will enjoy your favourable attention.
Yours faithfully,
Pedro Africa
