Jordan Ellis
Senior Staff Accountant | General Ledger, Month-End Close & Financial Reporting
Bramford Logistics Group
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Staff Accountant opening at Bramford Logistics Group. With extensive experience managing general ledger operations, monthly close cycles, and multi-entity reconciliations, I am drawn to Bramford's focus on dependable freight reporting and operational accuracy. My background aligns closely with your requirement for an accountant capable of maintaining rigorous internal controls while executing smooth close workflows.
In my current position as Senior Staff Accountant at Vanguard Crest Logistics, I manage full-cycle general ledger operations across three operating subsidiaries and prepare balance sheet reconciliations for 45 accounts, addressing discrepancies within two business days. Through the standardization of intercompany settlement entries and recurring amortization schedules, I helped cut monthly close turnaround from eight days to five. Additionally, I led chart-of-accounts mapping and data validation during our NetSuite implementation, establishing clear desktop procedures to support team adoption.
Prior to this, at Kensington Retail Group, I managed fixed asset accounting for 18 retail properties and executed weekly cash positioning along with multi-currency bank reconciliations. Across these roles, I have consistently collaborated with external auditors on PBC workpapers and ensured ongoing compliance with US GAAP. I welcome the opportunity to bring this disciplined reconciliation practice and operational familiarity to Bramford Logistics Group.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my general ledger and financial close background can support your accounting department.
Sincerely,
Jordan Ellis
