Dear Sir/Madam,

It is with great enthusiasm that I am responding to the vacancy for Financial Economic Assistant at [company]. Contributing to major societal themes and my interest in the financial side of sustainability, innovation, and (international) entrepreneurship appeal to me enormously.

In my role as a Financial Economic Assistant, I wish to share responsibility with my colleagues for providing high-quality service to clients and the careful handling of applications and files. I am convinced that my analytical and communicative skills will be highly beneficial when consulting with clients regarding the financial aspects of (subsidy) projects.
