Dear Sir/Madam,

Application for the role of Bookkeeping

I would like to apply for the role of Bookkeeper within your company and saw your advert in (where) and (when).

I have always been good at working with mathematical figures and numbers and I am able to concentrate for large periods of time calculating information. I feel that with the experience that I have gained in the past that I would be able to collate all the relevant information and ensure that the books balance well.

I have also had some involvement in invoicing and credit notes and general accounting practices and could help where necessary in a busy accounts department.

I am organised and thorough in my work, I pay great attention to detail and I like to double check all my work to make sure that I have not missed something important.

I am happy working as part of a team or on an individual basis and appreciate due to the nature of my role that I may need to work on my own to ensure that I can concentrate fully on the tasks in hand.
I have enclosed my latest CV for you to see my skills and experience in detail. Should you be interested in my skills and experiences please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and CV.

Yours sincerely

NAME SURNAME

Good luck with writing your covering letter.
