Dear Potential Employer,
In January of 2016, I left a career that I loved to support my wife’s career in the Washington DC area. For nearly 20 years I was the CFO and Executive VP of a large software company in Ohio. Since then, I have been providing, as a consultant, CFO services to various organizations in the DC/Virginia/Maryland area including in the area of healthcare, real estate, not-for-profits, law firms, manufacturers, and more. Combine this with my 10 years as an executive with Ernst & Young, I have a proven background as a CFO and valued member of an organization’s executive team.
It is with great excitement that I submit my resume for consideration to become a member of your team. In addition to my formal education and training, my history of hands-on experience makes me an excellent match for the unique demands of any CFO position.
My resume provides detail on my talent for team collaboration and passion for problem-solving. It is my goal to apply these skills to the progress of a growing company. I look forward to setting up a meeting to discuss in greater detail how I can benefit your organization. In the interim, thank you for reviewing this letter and the attached material.
Sincerely,
Kenneth P. Jayne
Attachment: Resume
