Dear Recruiter,
I have been an assistant accountant at a major media publishing company in the financial sector
for the past 18 months, and I am currently working towards completing my CPA designation. I
am writing to you to express my interest in working for your company as an accountant. I am
confident that my work experience, expertise, and desired career path align well with the
requirements of this position.
I recently obtained my Master of Business Administration with a focus in accounting at Penn
State University. I secured my current position through demonstrating my passion for accounting
to the senior managers at InsuranceNewsNet.com, who were impressed by my knowledge,
insight, and work ethic. I was hired to analyze and resolve significant account balance issues that
have been persistent for years in company books. I successfully identified the cause of the issues
as human error, and resolved these issues, which had been long persistent in the company’s
books, within four months. During this time, I also worked with the Vice President of Finance
and Operations to implement an optimized process that maintains accurate account balances and
bookkeeping records.
Currently, I am responsible for overseeing all accounts payable and accounts receivable
activities, generating detailed reports of company finances, bank reconciliations, document
control, and providing administrative support in a fast-paced environment. I also presently play
a leading role in the design and implementation of a continuous improvement process for
company spending and budgeting. My analytical, problem-solving, communication, and multi-
tasking skills have earned me consistent praise from my supervisor and I thrive in fast-paced
environments.
I believe that I am a strong candidate for the position given my solid educational background and
experience. I further believe that working with your company is in line with the direction I want
to pursue in my career. I am excited at the prospect of working at your company to contribute to
its continued growth and success.
Thank you for your consideration of my application and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely Yours,
Yuelin (Lillian) Lai
