Job seekers looking in the domain of accounting and book keeping may find a little difficult to write cover letters for such profession. However, with a bit of hard effort, you can definitely make an effective and winning CPA cover letter.

Needless to say, bookkeeping and accounting are one of the two occupations which are quite organized and structured fields of learning. Hence it is important that it should be reflected in your cover letter.

Following are few instructions and tips to write a cover letter for CPA.

• The cover letter should be organized and in a proper format.
• It should start with the reason as why you are writing the letter. There are usually two choices, one when you are responding to an advertisement, and second when you are inquiring if there are any position available.
• A cover letter which is in response to an advertisement, should basically tell the employers which advertisement you are responding to and mention about the job title and the date of the advertisement. The cover letter meant for an inquiry, should let the employers know that you are looking for any jobs available with your background and skills.
• The next paragraph of your letter should discuss on the educational background such as accounting and bookkeeping. This is the place where you tell about your experience in the field, the training involved, accounting software and other skills and traits that are needed for the post.
• The cover letter should not exceed three paragraphs. It should tell the major things that you can bring up to the post.
• Your cover letter should also express your willingness to come for an interview and give ways to reach you. A quick summary stating why you are a better choice should also be stated in the cover letter.
• Finally sound professional and thank the reader for reviewing your letter.
