Dear [Hiring Manager Name],
I'm writing to apply for the Bookkeeper role at [Company]. Your posting emphasizes monthly close and multi-entity reconciliations — both are the core of my current work.

I'd welcome a short call to discuss how I can help your team stay closed on time. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name] • [Phone] • [Email]
How to adapt it
