A cover letter for an accounting assistant should highlight your skill with numbers, experience in having worked in the field, and your familiarity with the computer.
You also want to express that you’re continuing to learn more (taking courses to further your technical knowledge, mentioned in the second paragraph) demonstrates ambition and a desire to move forward, while not being afraid of the latest technology.

Re: Accounting Assistant Position
Dear Mr. Weiss,
As an accounting assistant with ten years of experience, I am most interested in your job posting in this week’s Financial Times.
A look at my attached resume lists some of my current responsibilities, which include the following. (Please note that I am proficient in MS Office and enjoy broadening my knowledge of other accounting software through taking courses in the latest technology.)
- Entered daily data, sale reports, bank transactions, and sales receipts
- Prepared all supporting documentation when requested by auditors and customers
- Double-checked all reports, verified documents and invoices, and flagged any discrepancies
I perform my work quickly but accurately, and adapt to various working environments. I would be pleased to meet you in person to discuss my qualifications further and how my skills can contribute to the continued success of your company.
I can be reached at 111-222-3333 or at (your email address).
Thank you for your consideration.
