How to write a KPMG cover letter

When applying for a position at KPMG, your cover letter is an opportunity for you to tell your story, without being stuck in the formatting constraints of the KPMG resume. The best format for writing a cover letter is:

• Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the name of the recipient, you can refer to them as the hiring manager.

• The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening. 

• Make a brief statement about why you’re interested in the position. Write a paragraph about why you are the perfect candidate for the job.

• State your skills and work experience. Ensure your skills and experiences are similar to the job position. When highlighting skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved. 

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position with you further.”

Sample 1:

“Dear Ms. Moen,

I am writing to express my interest in the Audit Assistant position now available with KPMG.

I have always been good with math and I love working with numbers, which is why I decide that becoming an auditor was my best career choice. I have a degree in accounting and I have the education, skills and training needed to fill this position. I have worked as a manager for the last four years where my main job was handling general accounting duties such as preparing and making deposits and handling vendors.

I also helped the company to create a budget and found ways for the business to cut back on some of its expenses, without sacrificing quality or customer service. I performed internal audits regularly and located problems before they got out of hand. I also found ways to improve the way the audits were being performed while maintaining efficiency.

I have outstanding computer skills with experience using a variety of different software and MS programs. I work well in a group setting, have excellent customer service skills and have the ability to adapt to changes quickly.

Becoming an Audit Assistant with your company is a huge step in reaching my career goals and I am sure that I will be a great asset to your company. I would like to thank you at this time for considering me for this position and I am confident that you will agree I have the skills needed to handle this job.

I hope to hear from you very soon. Please call (555)-555-5555 to set up an interview.

Sincerely,

Signature

Adrian Krantz

“Dear hiring manager,

I’m writing to apply for the position of Audit Assistant, which I found on the company website in the list of open positions and which seemed to me the most attractive among all the alternatives.

During my education at the Higher School of Economics, I found myself interested in subjects devoted to accounting and auditing. With my educational background and a strong interest in business, I think I will be a great asset to your company. I have pretty good analytical abilities, and that’s what I suppose would help me to meet the requirements of the job I apply for. Also, I feel that I have the appropriate level of English skills to be able to handle conversations on different topics, including special ones.

It seems to me that I have enough intelligence level, enough qualifications and dedication to be essential for this job.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,”

“POSITION: Tax assitant

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing this letter about the VAT assistant vacancy advertised on your website and would like to express my interest in the position.

I am an ACCA Affiliate and I’ve always had a love for numbers and so naturally chose to study accountancy, and whilst studying for the ACCA qualification I had the opportunity to study the tax module, which I very much enjoyed…so much so I chose to sit the optional Advanced Taxation module, which I was also able to pass the first time.

Whilst studying I feel that KPMG offers access to the best tools and opportunities to help me reach my full potential.

Please find attached my CV, which includes further details of my qualification, skills and experience. If you require further information I am happy to discuss this with you via telephone or email.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely”
