Dear …………,

Your company recently posted an opening for a Sales Ledger Clerk on the …………….. website, this is a role that seems to fit my precise competencies and for which I am enthusiastically applying.

I am a capable Sales Ledger Clerk who can hit the ground running and support your finance team without any training.

As an outstanding individual with a passion for accounting, I feel I would be a perfect fit for your position. My meticulous nature, attention to detail and ability to code invoices correctly to ensure accurate financial reporting, fit extremely well with the requirements of your vacancy. In particular I want to highlight my ability to accurately report on a company’s financial health and liquidity to senior managers.

My proficiency in Excel, particularly advanced formulas such as XLookups and the creation and use of pivot tables, is well documented in the attached CV. In it you will also see that I can actively create new supplier accounts and deal with client queries. All of this is on top of my ability to perform credit checks on new customer accounts. My key strengths include:

  • Interpreting accounting policies and regulations.
  • Assisting accounting management teams in the decision-making process.
  • Ensuring that sales ledgers are fully reconciled.

Since 2022 I have been employed by …………., where I am responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the sales and purchase ledger processes. On an average day I will process all purchase invoices and credit notes, matching them to orders and delivery notes.

The work that I do with my present employer has not only equipped me to assist the team during monthly and yearly audits but has also given me the ability to operate in a fully computerised accounts department. With my colleagues I have a reputation for providing quick cover for  holiday periods and the absences of other staff members.

Aside from my accounting competencies, I consider myself a mature individual who is willing to take responsibility for any issues and concerns that land on my desk. I also possess superb communication skills that allow me to get along with people from all backgrounds.

Right now, I would like to join a company like yours that offers its people a place to belong and an organisation to be proud of.

In addition to this letter, I have also attached my current resume which will give you a more comprehensive idea of my competencies. If what you have read so far sounds of interest to you, then please do not hesitate to contact me to arrange an interview at your convenience. Thank you very much for accepting, reviewing and hopefully responding to my application.

Yours sincerely,
