This Accountant Cover Letter is an example of the application letter which you might write to a Recruitment Consultant.
You would use this accountant cover letter when they have specifically advertised the position. Note that the letter would be different when they are just doing a general trawl for CVs or Resumés.
You should also recognize that the wording 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.

Accountant Cover Letter
Accountant Cover Letter begins...Mrs Pamela Pinkerton Longmead Recruitment Consultants 1 Fotherway Road Burton Minster
12/8/2007 Dear Mrs Pinkerton Head of Management Accounting - Ref B10 - 9 September 2007 - The Times Your advert for the above position is of particular interest to me and I therefore wish to apply as I am confident that I meet your client's need very closely. As the Chief Management Accountant of a £4 million turnover private bakery, I led a team of 10 qualified and part qualified staff through the installment of new financial systems and the re-design and implementation of improved, accessible and informative reporting systems. As part of these changes, I introduced individual cost centers throughout the business, so ensuring financial management is used as a key control ingredient and enabling staff to be measured against targets. Managing the changes outlined above required me to train and motivate my own staff, four of whom are now studying for their exams. Job motivation and close links with business units has kept interest and morale high and staff turnover low. The bakery and brewery sectors have many similarities and I am accustomed to a 24 hour intensive production environment. I believe this background, together with my experience in working and developing activity-based costing systems both on my own and with consultants, qualifies me well for the position advertised. As requested my CV is enclosed and I look forward tothe opportunity of meeting you to discuss this very interesting position. Yours sincerely Ted Postlethwaite Enc. |
