Bookkeeper Resume Cover Letter

Finance is the core element of every organization. To become a successful organization, the finances have to be managed correctly, and a proper record of the same has to be maintained. These records are useful for audits. Realizing the importance of the same, Bookkeepers were appointed as junior accountants. They can handle the accounting responsibilities, but they are restricted from indulging in some responsibilities, which are solely performed by the accountants. Thus, these are junior accountants, and if you wish to work as a Bookkeeper, write an effective bookkeeper resume cover letter to apply for the same.

Before discussing the resume cover letter for the position of a bookkeeper, let us discuss the responsibilities of the same. This is essential because one can write an effective cover letter only if one understands the job expectations. The responsibilities are as follows:

1. Creating and maintaining financial records
2. Responsible for the general ledger
3. Prepare reports and other financial statements
4. Responsibilities vary with the size of the organization and the employer

Thus, he/she is like an assistant to the accountant. To apply for the job, one needs a good resume and an effective cover letter that boosts the resume. The sample letter given below will help you write one for your resume.

Dear Mr. White,

I wish to present my candidature for the position of Bookkeeper, as advertised in today's CA Times. As mentioned in the advertisement, I have attached my resume herewith.

I have 1.5 years experience in the field of bookkeeping and accounting. I am also pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Accounting. I am well versed with the accounting software, practices and procedures. In the earlier phase of my career, I worked with a small organization, where I handled most of the accounting practices single handedly. I now wish to move to more professional organizations, where I can use my skills and abilities, as well as learn by working with the best professional minds in the field.

Bing Manufacturers is a renowned firm in California, with its operations all over USA. Working with Bing, I can use my expertise, and am sure by proving myself, would get a chance to grow within the organization. I thus request you to call me for an interview and discuss this opportunity further. I assure you that you won't be disappointed.

Please let me know about the interview date and time.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

Ema Watson

Dear Mr. White,

I am Ema Watson and this is with reference to the vacant position of Bookkeeper with Bing Manufacturers, CA as advertised in CA Times, dated 27th November 2011. I have recently completed a certified course in Bookkeeping.

I am a fresher, and since you have invited applications from freshers as well, I believe that it would prove to be a great opportunity for me. I have plans of pursuing a Bachelors degree in Accounting, but prior to that I wish to gain some experience. Practical knowledge is much better than theoretical concept mugging, and this opportunity would help me put to application, all that I learned from my course.

Bing is also known for nurturing fresh talent, and not discriminating talent on the basis of experience. I thus believe that it would be a fair chance to learn and prove myself.

Looking forward to an interview call from your side. A one-on-one discussion will help you judge my capabilities better. I request you to review my resume thoroughly, and give me a chance to meet you in person to discuss the same.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

Ema Watson
