Do you have any experience using accounting software?
As an entry level accountant, it won't be expected that you have extensive experience using full scale accounting software packages. Therefore, speak to what you have used. Many job descriptions specifically state which accounting software the company uses. If any event, make sure to highlight that you are quick to learn new software systems.
"In my college program, we were able to demo SAP accounting software. In that software, I was able to book journal entries, generate reports and run queries. Since I have an underlying understanding of accounting, I believe I will be able to learn new software packages fairly quickly."

I am currently doing a work experience online where I am learning the basics of QuickBooks, and the tasks that an accounts assistant carries out. This includes processing invoices, credit notes, bank reconciliations, and petty cash management. Since I have an underlying understanding of accounting, I believe I will be able to learn new software packages fairly quickly.

This is a great start. If you have experience with any additional accounting software, I suggest including that experience as well.
