Application for the Position of Payroll Clerk

Dear Head of Human Resources,

I am writing to express my interest in the Payroll Clerk position within your organization. With 3 years of experience in the construction industry, I am currently employed as a Payroll Clerk at BH Construction where I manage a weekly payroll for over 400 employees across multiple union sites.

I am skilled in handling payroll queries, updating records, and utilizing software such as QuickBooks, Microsoft Excel, FreshBooks, and SAP. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor of Accounting and am working towards becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

I have successfully reduced operational expenses by 47% in 2019 by transitioning from Excel-based payroll to QuickBooks. I am passionate about payroll and am eager to bring my expertise to a new opportunity closer to home.

I have attached my resume for your review and consideration. Thank you for your time and I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your team.

Sincerely,
Richard Bourke
