Dear Mr. or Ms. Last Name:
Please accept my enthusiastic application for a position in the Tax Service Line of Ernst &Young. I am a postgraduate student under the MSc of Accountancy program offered by Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I am also a candidate who have passed all sections of the CPA exam in the United States after finished rigorous accounting study at the University of Northern Iowa. Having attended the Campus Recruitment Talk at Polyu, I was impressed by the diverse enterprise culture and the valuable training system provided by Ernst& Young. I believe that Ernst& Young would be an existing and challenging company in which to build my career.
My background fits well with a position in tax service. I have built a strong foundation in taxation during my undergraduate period. I got great grades on Income Tax and Advance Income tax during my undergraduate period. When I prepared for the Regulation section of the CPA exam, after reviewed and memorized all major concepts and rules of individual tax, corporation tax, trust tax, and estate tax, a clear knowledge structure was built in my mind. Moreover, I have developed advanced research skill upon tax topics. The real-case tax research projects I did during courses trained me well on figuring out tax issues and referring to relevant database to solve issues. In addition, I was offered a lot of chances by my professors to lead groups to prepare tax return for individuals, corporations, and partnerships. These complicated simulated cases equipped me with strong time management and analytical skills, as well as ethical values.
Ernst& Young appeals to me over other firms because of its focus on diversity, pleasant working atmosphere, and accelerated career growth opportunities. Please consider me for tax staff position, and do not hesitate to contact me by email or by phone any time if you need further information. I have enclosed my resume for your persual. Thank you so much for your time, I look forward to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
