Payroll Director Cover Letter Sample

Dear Hiring Manager,

I’m excited to apply for the job of Payroll Director that your website says is open at your company. As an experienced Payroll Director with 8+ years of experience in managing payroll functions, I believe that I would be an excellent fit for this role.

I am confident in my ability to maintain accurate records and generate reports to assist with financial analysis and forecasting, as well as ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations related to payroll and the organization’s policies and procedures.

Furthermore, my previous experience as a Payroll Manager at ABC Company in Sydney, Australia, has provided me with a solid foundation in managing and processing payroll for employees in multiple locations and collaborating with HR and Finance departments to ensure accurate and timely processing of payroll data.

I am a Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Accounting from the University of Sydney. I have good communication and people skills, pay close attention to details and get things right, and have analytical and problem-solving skills that I’m sure will help your company.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further in an interview.
