Application for the Position of Finance Assistant

Dear Head of Human Resources,

I am writing to express my interest in the Finance Assistant position at your organization. With 3 years of experience in finance, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your team.

Currently employed as a Finance Administrator at RED International, I have gained valuable experience in supporting accounting functions, managing payroll administration, and maintaining financial records. Some of my key responsibilities include handling accounts payable, maintaining the integrity of the nominal ledger, assisting the bookings team, and successfully reducing outstanding payments.

In addition to my practical experience, I hold a Bachelor of Economics & Finance and I am actively pursuing the CIMA qualification. I possess strong critical thinking, attention to detail, problem-solving, multi-tasking, and communication skills.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at RED, but due to a recent relocation, I am seeking a new opportunity closer to home. I have attached my resume for your review and consideration.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills and experiences align with the needs of your organization.

Sincerely,
Marian Lecocq
