Dear Hiring Manager,

I am delighted to apply for the Accounting Assistant position at Flagship Engineering. The opportunity
to potentially work for your company, which has been recognized as the quickest-growing operator in
the field of civil engineering, excites me as I continue to seek new accounting challenges. As someone
who has spent multiple years in public practice, I possess an in-depth understanding of the U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as well as the basics of internal auditing. I believe
that my knowledge would match this job opening very well.

During my previous roles with companies such as Crossover Software and Foundry Marketing, I worked
as the Accounting Assistant to the CFO and lead internal auditor, respectively. These experiences gave
me an outstanding perspective on the fruitful implementation of new accounting software and consistent
adherence to the rapidly evolving laws of business. I also developed outstanding communication skills
that let me work with practically anyone and helped me coordinate dozens of projects that had a 95%
combined rate of timely completion.

I would also like to stress my ability to support accounting seniors by completing all of the delegated
tasks effectively. With over 400 hours of continuing education, I have an excellent understanding of
potential areas of practice where businesses may face issues. This allowed me to identify and proactively
resolve countless issues that reduced my prior employer's need to halt accounting operations by 45%. I
further thrive in public speaking engagements organized at professional workplace settings.

I am grateful for the opportunity to receive your consideration for the Accounting Assistant position.
Thank you for the time spent reviewing my application. I look forward to any subsequent interaction
where I will be more than happy to discuss the specific nature of my prior experiences in more detail. I
hope to become a part of the Flagship Engineering's team and join the effort to rebuild communities in a
sustainable manner.

Sincerely,

Jax Sampson

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to be applying for the Accounting Intern position at Crane & Jenkins for my capstone
internship. As an accounting major, I've been looking forward to applying for an internship to
experience accounting in the real world.

During my past four years at Coral Springs University, I have studied a wide range of subjects in-depth.
I've studied subjects such as accounting information systems, auditing, cost accounting, computer
information systems, economics, finance, and marketing. I believe that I have the strong mathematical
abilities and accounting knowledge that it takes to be successful.

As an Accounting Intern for Crane & Jenkins, I have a strong mathematics background to bring to the
table. In elementary school, I went to math camp each summer. I received almost every award possible
for high-achieving math students. I even went to a special class once a week with my math-oriented
peers. In high school, I took advanced placement math, became a math club member, and was dual-
enrolled at the local community college, taking basic accounting courses. During my senior year, my
math club competed in the annual Mathletes Competition in New York City. As the team captain, I led
my team to victory.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my application. I look forward to hearing more about
Crane & Jenkins. I am excited to learn from experienced professionals in the accounting field and to
discover what it's like to be an accountant.

Sincerely,

Malik Rabb

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am thrilled to apply for your latest opening for a Payroll Clerk at Crossover Software. Getting the
chance to seek employment with your company is certainly one of the highlights of my career, as I have
followed all of your accomplishments since inception. As one of the leaders in the spheres of
information technology, Crossover Software was very active in the local community of St. Helena
University, where I completed my education.

During my four-year experience with Foundry Marketing, which is the last employer that I worked for, I
managed the company's payroll system, ran constant updates, and facilitated smooth integration with
other departments. I also helped switch to the middleman provider of direct deposit services that saved
our business 29% in overhead costs over a two-year period. I further helped diagnose and resolve a
weekly average of eight problems reported by employees from all sectors. Doing so allowed me to
improve my critical thinking and professional communication skills.

Some of my priorities include fixing system errors within the payroll department's software,
implementing more efficient methods of compensation, and approving employees' tax-related
documentation. Additionally, I spent over 45 hours delivering weekly seminars covering the basic
concepts of successful payroll integration to senior-level managers and multiple executives. Doing so
helped me polish my public speaking skills and turn formal presentation into one of my strengths and
passions.

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I am grateful for the opportunity to apply to
work for your organization. I believe that my skills can be an outstanding asset to Crossover Software.
As you continue the hiring process, I look forward to communicating with you directly and going into
more details about the Payroll Clerk position as well as some of my personal goals.

Sincerely,

Jensen Pope

Dear Hiring Manager,

I'm very interested in the advertised Accounting Manager position at Cloud Clearwater. As someone
who is detail-focused and has a flair for finances, I thrive on delivering innovative solutions that reduce
costs and increase revenue. With more than eight years of experience as an accounting professional, I'm
excited about the contributions I can make as a member of Cloud Clearwater's expert team.

As an Accounting Manager at River Tech for the past four years, I was responsible for the monitoring of
fiscal compliance for all company departments. I also lead internal contract and expense audits, and I
managed department rebuttals to noncompliance reports. I was also responsible for organizing extensive
quarterly financial reports into concise overviews and presenting my findings to the executive team. My
strategic recommendations were praised by the CFO as "a vital component of the company's fiscal
health."

I am well-versed in a variety of enterprise-level software systems, including Quickbooks, NetSuite ERP,


and Microsoft Dynamics. In an effort to improve internal communications, I pioneered the use of
custom reporting features that improved cross-functional collaboration and reduced spending waste by
more than 25%. These reports were also instrumental in successfully navigating an IRS audit in 2015.

I appreciate your time and consideration. I'm eager to learn more about the Accounting Manager
position and Cloud Clearwater. With my experience leading enterprise-level accounting operations, I am
confident that I will be able to provide innovative budgeting and forecasting solutions to meet Cloud
Clearwater's fiscal objectives.

Sincerely,

Ivy Haddington
