Dear Sir or Ms. With great anticipation, I am availing myself to work as your Accounting, Business and Tax Associate. I believe that my education, skill-set, and experience make me a suitable candidate for this. I have done 3 years of articles for Small to Medium Entities. I stayed on 1 further year as an Audit Senior of the firm. In this time I compiled several tax computations for various companies. I was also involved in various IT14SD tasks for various clients. The bulk of my career experience is in audit, 4 years in total with 3 of the years in position to leading the audits. I am a highly organized and self-driven individual, passionate about developing my career in the Accounting, Audit and Tax field. Possessing more than 5 years of working experience in financial positions within organizations in different industries, I have gained an extensive insight within this finance and accounting field. My key competencies include, but are not limited to, running an audit from engagement to finalization, maintaining financial records, managing budgets, risk assessments, preparation of financial statements, completing tax returns and reconciliations. During the course of my career, I have gained a specialist’s understanding of financial statements and various accounting software include Xero, Pastel, SAP and have also been effective in explaining complex information in a comprehensible manner. This has been demonstrated in visual reports and leading presentations. As a Chartered Accountant in the making, I am a confident communicator, with excellent organizational, decision making, and time management skills and have a proven track record of consistently meeting and regularly surpassing demanding performance goals. My passion is providing a professional accounting element to small to medium business owners. The focus of the business is operational and often highly skilled individuals are not accessible to self-owned enterprises. I have worked for big companies and for self-owned business. I can appreciate the need for a mediation in the finance industry and I aim to provide for this gap. Yours sincerely, Mlungisi Duma
