To the Hiring Manager:

I am highly interested in the Audit Associate opportunity at FIRM NAME. Having solidified a foundation
of knowledge and professional experience, I am an excellent fit for the job description. Please accept this
letter and my attached resume as consideration for the position.

My vision is to perform worthwhile work to improve the confidence of capital markets and enhance the
quality of our lives and the lives of your clients. As a Staff Accountant for REAL ESTATE COMPANY
NAME, a real estate investment firm, my duties involved substantiating transactions, trade account
reconciliation, utilizing six accounting systems, and building professional relationships with clients and
business partners. My attention to detail, diagnostic analysis, and solution-oriented acumen saved REAL
ESTATE COMPANY NAME at least $50,000 per month in payroll expenses and time-sensitive client
reimbursements. In addition, the experience of working with over 100 colleagues on multiple projects
further advanced my communication and management skills. FIRM NAME will greatly benefit from my
ability to be highly collaborative and adaptive. Most recently, I invested six months to further develop my
qualifications by passing all four sections of the CPA examination. I strongly believe my professional
foundation in corporate accounting, quantitative analysis, and project management will enrich the internal
and external relationships at FIRM NAME.

Prior to working at REAL ESTATE COMPANY NAME, my experience as an Insurance Associate at
State Farm Insurance was dedicated to adding value to the lives of existing and prospective clientele
through financial products and unparalleled service. As a highly strategic thinker, I utilized my
accounting background to help clients go beyond their immediate needs and envision their long-term
financial goals. I demonstrated the distinct ability to effectively communicate with clients, which led to
surpassing monthly sales targets and being appointed to lead new hires. As an individual, I am committed
to setting a positive example for others to emulate, and to being a leader of integrity and high morals. My
exceptional competence and invaluable dedication will serve to surpass expectations at FIRM NAME.

In conclusion, I feel my professional experience, technical aptitude, and assiduous work ethic qualify me
as an ideal candidate for the role as an Audit Associate at FIRM NAME. I would greatly appreciate the
opportunity to interview for the position. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
