The professional development opportunities and the commitment to the community are the main reasons I want to join [FIRM NAME]. I am an individual who has demonstrated sound business judgment, decisiveness, well-developed planning, analytical, and communication skills, and a high level of performance. What I like the most about the audit service line is working with clients and teammates, studying new accounting pronouncements, learning unique business processes, and navigating a maze of numbers like its a logic puzzle. People have different goals as CPAs, but my goal is to learn as much as possible about the industry and companies I serve and to develop my professional client service skills. In the past I had the opportunity to work as Customer Service Manager. This job gave me opportunity to learn about the importance of going above and beyond to show customers they are important at any time. In my current position, I quickly learned to evaluate and measure data, organize material and information methodically, delegate responsibilities to get the best result, work within a set budget, and meet and exceed expectations. What I offer is a combination of passion for the accounting profession, team leadership, and strategic planning skills that I have leveraged to constantly deliver positive results. I am aware of the time commitment and challenging environment that a career in public accounting entails, but this is what I have always wanted to do with my career, and Im totally ready for new challenges. My resume contains additional details regarding my career accomplishments. I would welcome an opportunity for a personal interview to discuss your organizations needs and the results you can expect from me in addressing those needs. Thank you in advance for your time and review of my qualifications. Yours faithfully, SIGN HERE Justin Biever
