I have years of experience in various accounting roles. I have always been part of the closing process or being responsible for the closing and doing tasks such as completing the period-end close, monthly balance sheet reconciliations, preparing accurate and timely financial statements, review of financial statements for accuracy.

It's nice that you offer up the specific tasks that you are experienced in. Be sure they apply to the job description. I also recommend adding in some soft skills so that your response does not begin to sound like you're just listing off accounting tasks.
