Sample cover letter for Internship position at AP Professionals

Dear Hiring Manager for the Junior Accountant position,

The purpose of this letter is to express my interest in the Junior Accountant position as promoted by the AP Professional website. I am a graduate accounting student pursuing a career as an auditor with aspirations of completing the CPA exam in the near future. I am an entrepreneurial spirit with a focused drive to become the best in the accounting industry and feel I would be a perfect fit for the AP Professional team.

As indicated by my resume, I graduated SUNY Oswego with a degree in accounting and am further pursuing my passion by attending graduate school there as well. During my undergrad I had the opportunity to act as the accountant on numerous class projects which involved creating and analyzing multiple financial statements, forecasting future revenues, and developing and managing a working budget, amongst many other tasks. I have been successful in these projects by being extremely organized and possessing in depth knowledge of Microsoft Office with a concentration in excel and access. My experience playing on the Oswego golf team has allowed me to develop exceptional time management and team building skills which I have further built upon in my past job experiences.

I would like the opportunity to further my career and share my skill sets with AP Professionals. Accounting is my passion and I yearn for real world experience. My attention to detail and commitment to better myself and the organization I am with lead me to believe I would become a valuable asset for the AP Professional team. I have attached a copy of my resume to further express my qualities and skills. I thank you for your time and consideration and look forward to meeting with you soon.
