Nice! I think it’s great that the applicant mentioned all his capabilities in that letter, which is necessary to make a good impression on the company he is applying for. This is a great sample cover letter and it can be of big help to those who are planning to apply for the position. For applicants, as long as they are able to show their self motivation, integrity, reliability, confidence and flexibility to their target company, then I think they are most probably qualified for the accounting manager position.

This is definitely an ideal cover letter for an accounting position resume. If you know how to handle or work with the accounting software, it would definitely be good to mention that in the cover letter as well, since some businesses are employing the use of accounting software to manage their finances nowadays.

Perhaps this is going to be much more effective if the applicant had ample work experience to discuss. And I agree with what Carlene said about the ability to handle accounting software, that’s truly an edge and might give you a higher chance of being hired for your desired position.
