What is your comfort level with interacting and communicating with senior leadership?
A bookkeeper role is staff level but is unique in that the role interacts regularly with senior leadership. Highlight that you not only have experience presenting in front of leadership, but also that you are comfortable doing it. Be specific with what you presented. For example, monthly results, pitches for new initiatives, etc.
"I have ample experience getting in front of leadership and presenting. In my previous role, I would present to the CEO, CFO and other senior leaders during our monthly Finance Review meetings. I always felt the need to prepare in advance for any questions that might arise, and would often circle back promptly on follow-ups that developed during those meetings."
I have extensive experience in communicating and working with my leadership team. I do not get nervous during meetings with the team nor do I feel scared. I don't speak on what I don't know. Our meeting is either to inform them on a topic or learn from them. I take each meeting to heart and do my best to know my role at that time and perform accordingly.
