Dear
I wish to apply for the role of Accounting Supervisor advertised in The Times on 20 May 2005. I outline below my experience as it matches your requirements.
I am ACCA qualified and have five years in-depth accounting experience in progressively senior roles. In my most recent role as Finance Manager for Dolby Investments Ltd, I manage a team of three professionals and have reduced costs across departments by 5% year on year.
My strong analytical skills have enabled me to excel at analysing complex business accounts with a view to making informed recommendations. For example, at Dolby I undertook a detailed audit inventory of processes which lead to a more streamlined process and significant savings of £50,000.
I am experienced in day-to-day, month and year end processing and a Super user for SAP implementation involved in defining user requirements. I have also developed and implemented a new purchase order system using new software resulting in increased cost control and greater reporting accuracy.
I have additional relevant accomplishments explained in my attached CV.
I look forward to hearing from you shortly about my application.
Yours sincerely
