I am a highly competent, self-disciplined, knowledgeable and commercially driven accountant with the communication and interpersonal skills, business acumen and diligence to meet the role’s demands. After graduating from [INSERT COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY] with excellent grades in [INSERT SUBJECTS], I worked for several accounting firms where I honed my skills overseeing maintenance of client accounts, ensuring accurate payroll and records were maintained and providing tax planning strategies and advice in accordance with applicable legislation. I have a track record of success. For example, in my last position, I helped the accounting firm attract new clients, built solid, long-lasting relationships with existing clients and was praised for my speed of work and accuracy. If you hire me as an accountant, I will take responsibility for my ongoing development, be a positive role model and work closely with clients to maintain the accounting firm’s excellent reputation.”

SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I’ve had a keen interest in finances since I excelled at school in mathematics. When I started to explore the possibility of becoming an accountant, I became attracted to the diverse career options, solid job availability, job security, excellent remuneration and the option to specialize in different areas. I also choose accounting as a profession because I get to see the positive impact my work has on businesses and clients. There is always something new to learn as an accountant, especially with the introduction of new legislation. When I finished my education, I wanted to ensure I had a career for life, and accounting was the one that gave me the most satisfaction and reward.”
