RE: Financial Analyst

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the Financial Analyst position at Lakeview Organization. With six years of experience and a reputation for financial modeling and forecasting, I am confident I can make an immediate contribution to your team.

In my current role at Ledgerwise Advisors, I built three-statement financial models to evaluate $30M in capital projects. I also led the annual budget and quarterly reforecast for a $120M business unit.

I am known for financial modeling, forecasting, budgeting, and I take pride in building financial models. I would bring the same focus and energy to Lakeview Organization.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience can support your goals. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Skyler Bennett
