About

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the opportunity to join your team in a role where I can contribute my expertise and passion for finance. With a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, specializing in Finance and minoring in Economics, from The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business, and hands-on experience in both finance and accounting, I am confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to your organization.

At Strive Asset Management, I played a pivotal role in developing an investment strategy that led to significant portfolio growth. My research into underperforming sectors identified a promising opportunity in renewable energy, which I presented to senior analysts. Together, we crafted a diversified investment plan that reduced risk while generating a 15% return in the first quarter. This experience underscored the importance of thorough research and strategic thinking in making sound investment decisions.

Similarly, during my time as an Accounting Tax Intern at Bolon Hart Shives & Crisp LLC, I encountered a complex situation where one of our key clients faced substantial penalties due to discrepancies in their tax records. By meticulously reviewing their previous filings, I discovered overlooked deductions that, when properly claimed, significantly reduced their tax liability. Working closely with a senior partner, I ensured that the necessary amendments were submitted on time, ultimately saving the client over $50,000 in potential penalties. This experience highlighted my ability to manage intricate financial data and demonstrated the critical importance of attention to detail in accounting.

In addition to my professional experiences, I have demonstrated leadership and a commitment to service through my participation in The Ohio State University's Industry Immersion Program and my involvement with the Buckeyes of Ronald McDonald House. These experiences have allowed me to develop strong teamwork skills, manage projects effectively, and contribute to initiatives that drive real-world results.

I am eager to bring my skills, experience, and enthusiasm for finance to a new challenge. I am confident that my blend of practical experience, academic rigor, and dedication to continuous learning will enable me to make a valuable contribution to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to the continued success of your organization.

Sincerely,
David Mondaro
