Dear (insert interviewer’s name)

I'd like to thank you for taking time to talk with me on Tuesday morning about the Management Accounting position you have in your Financial Control department at (company name). I am very eager about this position and convinced that I would be able to contribute to the department in the ways you outlined. You will remember that you showed interest in a project I was involved in that integrated a scheme of KPIs within a bi-dimension benchmarking exercise.

I would like to remind you that I have extensive experience in the preparation of annual and monthly budgets and management accounts, and wide experience in the preparation of variance analysis for budget holders and supporting them in various other ways. I think these are precisely the experience and skills your are looking for. I don’t want to overstress the point but I need to make sure you know that I am well-versed in management accounting control systems and cybernetics generally. Please also remember that I am skilled in Linux which is your own software platform.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions about my background or experience.

I look forward to hearing from you soon about the position and hope the news will be positive. I thank you again for meeting with me.

Yours sincerely,

Your Signature

Dear (insert interviewer’s name)

It was very enjoyable meeting you Tuesday afternoon and talking about the Financial Analyst’s position at (insert company). The job, which you presented, seems to be a very good match for my abilities, experience and aptitude. The interesting way you utilise valuation and merger models within the real estate sphere and your use of progressive and advanced software confirmed my desire to work with you. You will remember that I was particular impressed with the way the models can be used for stochastic simulation.

In addition to my undoubted enthusiasm, I will bring to the position strong market analytical skills, assertiveness and the ability to work cooperatively within your treasury team. My background tells me about the importance of teamwork within our kind of work.

I understand that this is a new position and one designed to free you to deal with larger issues, and that you require someone who will be ‘hands on’ virtually from Day 1. I neglected to mention to you during our interview that I had deputised for the Chief Financial Analyst at (mention company) for five months while he was on secondment to the company’s American branch. This experience helped me to develop my managerial and leadership skills.

I am grateful for the time you took from your busy day to interview me. I wish to reiterate how very interested I am in working for you and look forward to hearing some positive news from you about this position.

Yours sincerely,
