Accountant Cover Letter

The Accountant Cover Letter on this page is a good example of the type of job application letter which you might need to write to a Recruitment Consultant or Employment Agency when they have specifically advertised the position of a qualified Management Accountant.

Note that the letter should be different when they are just doing a general trawl for CVs or Resumés. You'll also find links for Accountants jobs and tips on getting a job with the Big 4 Firms below.

You should also recognize that the wording in this accountant cover letter is varied from the standard traditional "I wish to apply for..." so that it reads differently from the (highly likely) large numbers of applications that recruitment consultants usually receive from other interested candidates.
