Dear [Hiring manager's name],
At Fieldcrest Property Group I support the accounting team for a 40-property residential portfolio, entering invoices, tracking security deposits and helping close out tenant statements every month. I'm applying for the Accounting Assistant role because I want to keep building toward a full accounting career on a team that will actually teach me the parts of the ledger I don't touch yet.
In my first year I took over reconciling our security deposit trust accounts across all 40 properties, a task that had fallen three months behind before I started, and brought it current within six weeks with zero variances found on the follow-up audit. I also built a simple tracking sheet for maintenance invoices that cut our average approval time from 12 days to 5.
I process roughly 200 vendor and contractor invoices a month in QuickBooks, help prepare bank reconciliations for four operating accounts, and am halfway through my AAS in Accounting at night. I pick up new software quickly and ask before I guess, which matters when the accounts involve tenant money.
I'd welcome the chance to grow into a bigger accounting role at [Company name] and bring the same care to your books that I brought to catching up those trust accounts. I'm available to interview any weekday afternoon.
Thank you,
Peyton Kim
