1. WING SUN LAU – CPA & MCP
Dear Hiring Manager:
I want to write this letter to express my interest to be your ERP administrator and analyst. Specially, I want to share my
personal history and some highlight of my skills.
I come from Hong Kong, major in Economics in UC Berkeley, and graduate in December 2005. I started off as a Planning
Analyst in a medical device manufacturer when I first enter the job market. Then I went to Cal State Fullerton to get
continuing education in Accounting, and I actually complete the CPA exams and finish internship with Life Equations
Accountancy in three years. I got my first Corporate Accountant job in Live Nation Inc. in 2010. At that time, they had a
very tedious process that requires a lot of manual work. I challenge myself and came up with a creative idea to create an
Excel VBA program that actually transfer the data from raw format into General Ledger input format in one minute.
Because of my new Excel VBA program and timeliness, I was tasked to help five regional managers to manage their venue
reporting. When the project is over, I went back to private industry for the following three years. When the owner of Life
Equations Accountancy, Mike Ong Gonzales, got a new project in NetSuite, he called me back, and my life has changed
since then.
I am always thankful for Mike because he boosted me up, and he is actually my business mentor. When I come back to
him second times, I work day and night to learn NetSuite and how this system work. We together accomplished an
incredible feat by winning a $360,000 annual contract for Pre-IPO audit and IT implementation project. Mike let me see
what I can accomplish, and he made me expand.
I want to expand myself and want to see the world. I got a job offer at Bay Area, so I moved to Northern California. At one
of the meeting, I met a recruiter from Dynamic Staffing, and she introduce me to a consultant position at BlueShield of
California. I was tasked to be the Revenue Accountant there. My main accomplishment there is not closing the book
monthly, but I actually help them to debug their Access program. I actually reduce the load time from one hour to ten
minutes by properly organize their code and correct the mistake.
When my wife demanded me to come to Vietnam to marry her, I left the position and travel to Vietnam for marriage. When
I come back, I was hired as an Accounting manager for Lux Beauty Group Inc. I learned a lot about manufacturing,
warehousing operation, and being a leader in the company. I actually recovered $130,000 missed billing and cash when I
organize their paperwork. However, the sales slump and my position get eliminated. I did a NetSuite consultant job in San
Diego, and I began to use Excel DAX to help accomplish faster and better reliable programming. However, my wife came
here to USA, and I want her to live in San Gabriel area, so I move back from La Mesa back to West Covina. I have been
looking for job in West Covina area, but there is not much big business in the area. I tried to work as New York Life agent,
but the requirement is too high that I didn’t qualify. However, I value the experience in New York Life, I want to thanks for
the partner to give me this opportunity. He made me learn the sales and personal communication skills.
As my wife settle in San Gabriel area, I am looking for opportunity near West Covina. My last consultant job hourly rate is
$40 per hour. I am very good in IT and Accounting, and I would welcome to listen to you if you have opportunity within
my area, and I can commute within one hour distance. I am really thankful that you give me a chance to share my
background, and I look forward to work with you.
Sincerely,
Wing Sun Lau, CPA & MCP
