Replace the data in square brackets with your own details. The numbers in the sample are illustrative: use your own results.
I am applying for the Accountant position at [Company Name]. I have [X] years of financial accounting experience and work daily with statutory tax declarations, e-Invoicing, and SAF-T reporting.
At [Current Company], I run end-to-end accounting for a portfolio of 14 companies, from primary documents through month-end close and the annual balance sheet. I rolled out SAF-T reporting and e-Invoicing in SAGA and Charisma with zero tax authority penalties over the last 3 years, and I cut month-end close from 8 to 5 business days by automating reconciliations in Excel. I would bring the same rigor and deadline discipline to the [Company Name] finance team.
Thank you for your consideration. I would be glad to meet and discuss how I can contribute.
