Sample cover letter

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 currently own the monthly close for six entities, reconcile fifteen bank and credit card accounts every month, and close within five business days consistently. I'm a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and comfortable with Bill.com and Gusto.

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

  • Mention the software stack in the posting (Xero vs. QuickBooks, Bill.com vs. Ramp).
  • Include your close cadence and entity count.
