Dear Head of Human Resources,

I am writing to express my interest in the Accountant position within your organization. With 3 years of experience in large corporations, I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills that align with the requirements of the role.

Currently serving as the Financial Accountant at FT Group, Inc., I oversee management and financial reporting for 6 group entities with a combined annual turnover of $83m. In this role, I support the preparation of financial and management accounts, liaise with audit teams to ensure compliance with statutory obligations, and lead enterprise-wide initiatives and special projects such as tax projects, system upgrades, and M&As.

In addition to my professional experience, I hold a Bachelor of Finance (Accounting) and am a Chartered Financial Accountant (CFA). I am proficient in various accounting software including QuickBooks, GnuCash, and Sage. With a strong work ethic, exceptional interpersonal skills, and a proven track record of taking ownership of responsibilities, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your team.

Having enjoyed my time at FT Group, I am now seeking a new opportunity closer to home as they relocate their head office to Aberdeen. I have attached my resume for your review and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience align with the needs of your organization.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing next steps with you.

Yours sincerely,

Gustave Baschet
