Dear Hiring Manager, I have five years of experience in bookkeeping and accounting and am excited to apply for the open position at your company. I am available to work immediately. When investigating discrepancies, I review all related documents, such as invoices and bank statements, and compare the figures to ensure accuracy. For example, when encountering a discrepancy in accounts payable, I discovered a vendor bill mistakenly posted to the wrong account. I corrected the posting and ensured future entries were correctly posted. To prevent duplications, I use QuickBooks' feature to match and merge similar transactions, and I ensure proper checks and balances, such as separate individuals to review and approve invoices. Though I have not managed multiple bookkeeping projects simultaneously, I use project management tools like Asana and Excel to prioritize tasks, monitor progress, and meet deadlines. I communicate regularly with clients and team members to ensure all projects are on track. If I encounter an unclear transaction when reconciling an account in QuickBooks, I review the details and reach out to relevant parties, such as the bank or vendor, for clarification. Thank you for considering my application. Sincerely, Kristell

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my interest in the Bookkeeping Assistant position you have available. As a bookkeeper with over 5 years of experience, I have developed a strong understanding of bookkeeping principles and practices, as well as proficiency in Quickbooks Online and Excel. To answer your questions: 1. When investigating discrepancies, I start by reviewing the source documents and checking for errors in data entry. I then review the ledger entries to identify any discrepancies or errors. If I am unable to identify the issue, I will reach out to the appropriate stakeholders to gather additional information. In a previous role, I was able to successfully resolve a difficult discrepancy by identifying an error in data entry that had been overlooked. 2. To prevent duplicate entries, I use the vendor bill report in Quickbooks Online to review existing vendor bills and avoid creating a new entry for a bill that has already been entered. I also review the accounts payable report. 3. When managing multiple bookkeeping projects, I prioritize my tasks based on deadlines and importance. I use a project management tool to ensure that I am meeting all deadlines. 4. When reconciling an account in Quickbooks Online, I use the reconcile discrepancy report to identify any transactions that are unclear. If the discrepancy cannot be resolved through the report, I will reach out to the appropriate stakeholders for clarification. Thank You.
