Dear Hiring Manager,

I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented Senior Accountant with over nine years of professional experience in both private and public accounting environments. My background encompasses extensive expertise in general ledger management, financial reporting, account reconciliation, budgeting, forecasting, and compliance with GAAP and regulatory standards. I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to your organization, driving financial accuracy and operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a strong capacity for analyzing complex financial data, streamlining accounting processes, and managing cross-functional collaborations with auditors and internal teams. My proven track record includes successfully managing month-end and year-end closings, performing comprehensive account reconciliations, and preparing regulatory reports including Federal Reserve disclosures and SEC filings.

Key highlights from my professional experience include:

  • Managing and reconciling general ledger accounts with high accuracy using platforms such as PeopleSoft, Oracle, and QuickBooks, ensuring compliance and financial integrity across all functions.
  • Processing journal entries related to securitized asset-backed securities, investment portfolios, and intercompany transactions, which optimized reporting timelines and improved data accuracy.
  • Developing automated financial modeling techniques to enhance reporting efficiency, enabling timely decision-making for executive leadership.
  • Leading the preparation of regulatory and financial reports, including FR Bureaus, FFIEC, and FDIC call reports, contributing to successful audits and compliance reviews conducted by external auditors like KPMG.
  • Supporting Treasury and cash management functions by generating cash flow forecasts, managing accounts payable/receivable, and ensuring financial policies are adhered to.
  • Playing a pivotal role in audit processes by preparing schedules, performing control walk-throughs, and liaising between internal teams and external auditors to facilitate smooth audits.

My technical proficiency in systems such as PeopleSoft, Oracle, Blackline, Hyperion, and Excel-powered macros further bolster my ability to perform sophisticated financial analysis and reconciliation tasks efficiently. I am committed to continuous professional development to stay abreast of evolving financial regulations and technologies.

I am confident that my analytical mindset, meticulous attention to detail, and collaborative approach will enable me to make a positive impact on your organization. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills can align with your company’s goals and contribute to your continued success.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Barbara Ngam
