VP Finance Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, In my time leading finance at executive level, I’ve focused on turning numbers into clear action. At [Previous Company], I helped stabilise the reporting cycle and reduce close time by 20 days in a single year, while maintaining rigour. I bring practical clarity to complex datasets, straightforward stakeholder communication, and a calm approach to big decisions that balance risk and growth. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because of the way you approach strategic planning, investor relations, and potential M&A. I’ve led multi-year plans, built investment case libraries, and collaborated with treasury to optimise capital structure. I favour hands‑on collaboration with FP&A, tax, and operations to shape reliable forecasts and transparent board materials. There’s a story from a recent integration where we aligned finance and ops across two geographies. We replaced a fragmented reporting process with a single monthly package, tightened covenant management, and renegotiated supplier terms. The result was better visibility for the executive team and significantly improved working capital efficiency while keeping audit and compliance intact. I’m available for a discussion at your convenience to explore how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I can share more detail on the strategic plans I’d pursue in the first 90 days and how I work with peers to support sustainable growth. Kind regards, [Your Name]
