answer to job application question
Hi guys, I'm working on my answer to a job application question and could use some help. Could someone have a look and check if this reads well and point out/correct any mistakes? The answer has a word limit so less is more in this case. The language shouldn't be too formal or academic. Your help will be much appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!!!
Here it is:
I believe I am suitable for the role for a number of reasons.
[_Argument 1_]
I also have practical experience of analysing financial data, in particular examining cash assets and performing bank accounts' reconciliation. This required tracing the cash flow across different accounts and currencies, scrutinising the currency exchange records, analysing debit and credit entries against corresponding invoices and transactions, and querying discrepancies.Additionally, I have a working knowledge and understanding of statutory accounts, including profit and loss statements and balance sheets.
Being a lead legal assistant on major projects in an international financial institution, the ability to build and maintain excellent professional relationships at all levels was crucial to the projects' success. This included internal relationships, as well as representing the firm in contacts with clients, experts and third party suppliers. The nature of my work required exceptional teamwork and a readiness to assist others, whether by sharing technical knowledge or practical tips to improve work efficiency, or by helping with everyday issues.
I possess all the skills listed in the vacancy description, as well as the knowledge, competence and enthusiasm to succeed. I strongly believe that I am the perfect candidate for the role, in which I could successfully contribute to the effective delivery of the PSR's regulatory objectives, as well as enjoy much work satisfaction.

Thank you very much wilpeter, that's very helpful!
The "Argument 1" bit was meant to be a placeholder for the first of my arguments that I'm still working on.
Thanks once again!
