RE: Application for Accountant Position

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in the Accountant position at your esteemed organization. With over ten years of experience in financial accounting and reporting, and as a Certified Public Accountant (K), I have built strong expertise in supplier payments, statutory deductions, reconciliations, tax compliance, and financial reporting. In my current role as a Financial Accountant at Best Solutions Ltd, I oversee the full accounting cycle including accounts payable, receivable, payroll processing, bank and Mpesa reconciliations, and timely filing of statutory returns such as VAT, PAYE, NHIF, and NSSF. I have successfully supported external audits and enhanced reporting accuracy by implementing effective internal controls. Previously, at Kiboko Highway Hotel and Mwarabu Petroleum Products, I transitioned the finance function from manual to computerized systems, managed tax filings, and prepared financial statements that supported key management decisions. I am confident that my analytical skills, attention to detail, and collaborative approach would allow me to make a valuable contribution to your finance team. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can be of benefit to your organization. Thank you for considering my application. Sincerely,

Andrew Kariuki Njonjo
