October 2026

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am interested in an accounting opportunity with your organization. I bring more than 25 years of experience in accounting, payroll, accounts payable and receivable, collections, reconciliations, and financial reporting. My background includes supporting small businesses and Fortune 500 companies, as well as managing financial needs across multiple locations.

In previous roles, I processed biweekly payroll for more than 450 employees through ADP, supported financial operations for 350+ restaurant franchise locations across Latin America and the Caribbean, managed billing and receivables, prepared financial reports, and improved collection results. I have worked with ADP, Hyperion Enterprise, JD Edwards, Microsoft Excel and Word, QuickBooks, and spreadsheet-based systems.

I also have more than 15 years of volunteer nonprofit financial experience with Stepping Out in Faith Global Ministry, including bookkeeping, tax filings, donation records, fundraising support, and financial documentation. Ten years of private-duty caregiving further strengthened my dependability, discretion, communication, organization, time management, and ability to work independently.

I take pride in accurate work, protecting confidential information, meeting deadlines, and following through on responsibilities. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my accounting experience, practical judgment, and steady work ethic to your team. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Tina R. Johnson-Bain
