Campbell River, BC V9W 2C3
Phone: (250) 286-1307
Dear Ms. Ewart and Ms. Smith:
Please consider my application for the position of Junior or Intermediate Accountant with
Pier CPA Group Inc., as advertised on August 10 on Indeed.com. I will graduate from
North Island College in December 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Business
Administration with an Accounting focus. Afterwards I plan to pursue my CPA
designation. Fabien Gendron, one of my co-op placement supervisors spoke highly of
your firm and encouraged me to apply.
As you can see from my enclosed résumé, for the past three years I have worked parttime for Duncan and Company Accounting firm as an accounting technician while
attending school. This experience combined with my previous training in computer
science has helped me to become proficient in Xero – cloud-based accounting software
where I am a certified advisor. I also gained experience completing year-ends, doing
monthly books and GST for companies, and preparing tax files.
As an accounting technician, soon to be CPA student, I am aware of the time
commitment required at certain times of the year, the need for attention to detail and to be
precise. My prior experience as a kitchen manager taught me how to build strong
relationships with colleagues. I also grew up in Campbell River and lived there for
eighteen years before moving to the Comox Valley for family. I still have ties in
Campbell River and would welcome the opportunity to return to the community.
I have worked hard to start on this new career path later in life while balancing school
and family. My experience, education, and methodical personality have prepared me to
work with numbers, be thorough, and ask questions when needed.
If my background makes me a good fit for your company, please phone me any time at
(555)435-8234 or email at gkavaliu@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Glen Kavaliunas

Dear Mr. Volk:
I hope you are doing well. Since working at Dolphin’s Resort, I have returned to school
and have almost completed a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. I am
currently applying for a junior accounting position with Pier CPA Group Inc., a small
accounting firm in Campbell River, BC. I am writing to ask you for a letter of reference.
It was a pleasure and a great learning opportunity working with you for two years as a
chef at Dolphin’s Resort. I especially appreciated you sharing your creativity and skill in
preparing sauces and spices by taste. I will always remember if I think it is okay, it likely
needs a little more salt.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. If you are able to provide a letter of
reference, please email it to gkavaliu@gmail.com. To include it in my application
package, the letter is needed by August 24, 2020. I have enclosed a link to my online
