   The accountant role at {{company}}

   Hi {{first_name}}, I saw {{company}} is hiring an accountant. Hiring for that role usually takes a while, and month-end doesn't wait. We're a bookkeeping firm that covers the monthly close for teams in exactly that gap, and some clients keep us on afterwards for the routine work so their new hire can focus on analysis. Would it help to talk about covering the next one or two closes? {{sender_first_name}}

   Re: The accountant role at {{company}}

   Hi {{first_name}}, If you've already filled the role, that's great news, and please ignore this. If not, I'm glad to share how a handover to a new hire works with us. It's simpler than people expect. {{sender_first_name}}

{{first_name}} and similar are filled from each lead; after a “|” is the text used when the field is empty. Written for an outsourced bookkeeping firm writing to companies advertising an accountant role.

When to use it

When a company posts a job that signals the problem you solve. Hiring is a strong, public sign that the work exists and has a budget.

Why it works

• The job ad tells you the need is real and current.
• It positions you as a bridge or an alternative, not a replacement for their hire.
• It respects their plan: you're not telling them to cancel the role.

How to adapt it

• Name the actual role they posted in the subject and first line.
• Rewrite the middle paragraph to describe how you help while the role is open, or alongside the new hire.
