I am writing to express my interest in graduate/assistant accountant position which I feel would suit my career objectives.

 I have recently completed my Master of Accounting Degree at UniSA and possess a Bachelor Degree of Information System Management. I achieved excellent academic results for both degrees. I had an auditing internship with Deloitte and successfully completed an Income tax return course from H&R Block. I believe my work experience as an assistant accountant and current position as a tutor at UniSA would also add value to be a good fit for the potential positions. I am an Associate Member of CPA Australia undertaking courses to achieve full membership.

 I enclose my current Curriculum Vitae which I believe will show that I am competent and highly qualified for the position applied for.

 I am highly motivated, have a strong desire to succeed and am definitely a team player, and would be pleased to attend an interview to enable me to confirm the value I may bring to the Firm, should I be successful.

 Yours sincerely
