Detail-oriented Timekeeper Cover Letter Example

Dear Ms. Georgia Newsome,

I am writing to express my interest in the position of Timekeeper at Milestone Technologies, Inc.

Since math was always my favorite class in school it seemed appropriate to pursue a degree in accounting. Due to my education and natural abilities, I have the skills to maintain an accurate account of the hours worked by employees in order to determine payroll, so paychecks can be written. I am familiar with calculating production and commissions in addition to the hours worked.

For three years, I worked in an office where I handled clerical duties such as filing, updating documents, making copies and performing similar tasks. I have extensive knowledge of word processing and MS Office programs, data software and accounting programs used in this profession in addition to the ability to multi-task and to assist with some of the other office duties when time permits.

I have strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to verify the information on the time sheets are correct, to make adjustments where needed and to determine the exact amount each employee should be paid. I also know and have the ability to comply with all state and federal laws regarding timekeeping.

I always adhere to the highest ethical standards possible and have the ability to maintain confidentiality. My strong analytical, mathematical and problem solving skills along with my ability to provide accurate work also make me a great match for this position.

You can reach me for interview by calling (555)-555-5555 so we can meet in person to discuss this job in more detail.

Respectfully,

Barbara Cato
