Accountant Cover Letter Example

I am writing to express my interest in the Senior Accountant position at Anderson & Associates CPAs. As a Certified Public Accountant with five years of experience in financial reporting, tax preparation, and audit support, I am well-prepared to contribute to your firm's reputation for excellence in client service.

In my current role at TechStart Inc., I have managed full-cycle accounting operations for a $20 million revenue company, including monthly close, financial statement preparation, and tax compliance. I reduced month-end close time from 15 days to 9 days through process automation and standardization, and maintained a 99.9% accuracy rate in account reconciliations. My experience preparing complex tax returns (1120, 1065, 1040) and providing strategic tax planning has helped clients save an average of $75,000 annually.

What attracts me to Anderson & Associates is your firm's commitment to professional development and your diverse client base across manufacturing, retail, and professional services sectors. I am proficient in QuickBooks, SAP, and NetSuite, and I bring strong analytical skills along with a client-focused approach. I am also committed to mentoring junior team members and have successfully trained three staff accountants in my current role.

I am confident that my technical accounting expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to client service make me an excellent fit for your team. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can benefit Anderson & Associates. Thank you for considering my application.
