Description
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the Junior Accountant position at your organization. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Lebanese University, and I have completed two accounting internships along with professional training in accounting and finance. I am eager to bring my hands-on experience and attention to detail to your finance team.
At Al Awfar, where I interned as an accountant from October to December 2025, I recorded daily financial transactions and prepared journal entries with accurate, timely postings to the general ledger. I supported accounts payable and receivable processes, reviewed purchase and sales invoices, and performed supplier and account reconciliations to keep records audit-ready. I also prepared Excel-based spreadsheets and financial summaries that supported month-end and year-end closing procedures.
My earlier internship at the National Office for Accounting and Auditing (August to October 2025) gave me exposure to a broader range of accounting tasks. I assisted with recording daily transactions and preparing journal entries, accounts payable and receivable activities, payroll calculations and Social Security contributions, and tax preparation. I also entered and maintained financial data using accounting software and Microsoft Excel.
To strengthen my technical foundation, I completed three professional certificates in 2025: Accounting Path – From Junior Accountant to Head of Department, Finance for Non-Finance Managers, and Advanced Excel for Finance. These covered the general ledger, trial balance, financial statements, budgeting, forecasting, cost analysis, and Excel tools such as Power Query and Power Pivot. I am a collaborative team player, and I am fluent in Arabic and English.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can contribute to your team. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Hussien Dhieny
