Bonjour, J'aurais voulu savoir si les anglicismes (type "business plan") prenaient la marque du pluriel ou non lorsqu'ils sont utilisés en Français.. En d'autres termes, dit-on des "business plan" ou des "business plan s " ? Amicalement, Paul

Dans la mesure où le mot se met au pluriel en anglais, je ne vois pas pourquoi il ne le ferait pas en français. Les pluriels irréguliers peuvent poser problème (doit-on alors utiliser une "pluralisation" à la française ou le vrai pluriel anglais ?), mais dans des cas simples comme celui-ci, je mettrais la marque du pluriel sans hésiter.

Bonjour à tous, Je pense aussi que Business reste invariable tout comme "action" dans le terme "action plan" ou "corrective action plan". Alors que nous utilisons plan d'actions ou plan d'actions correctives au pluriel car il y a plusieurs actions. Pour le pluriel de "plan", je choisis "business plans". Peut-être qu'un anglophone peut confirmer ? Enfin, pour ma part, s'il y a plusieurs "business", je mets entre guillemets sans changer l'orthographe lorsque le mot est purement anglais. Je mets au pluriel lorsque le mot est passé dans la langue française (comme des scénarii par exemple).

Des planning ou des plannings ? pluriel

photo de profil

Fondateur du site laculturegenerale.com

On écrit au pluriel  : « des plannings ». En effet, tous les mots empruntés par le français à des langues étrangères ont un pluriel régulier, à quelques exceptions près. Ces mots empruntés prennent la marque du pluriel en « s », car ils sont bien intégrés à la langue française (c’est au reste ce que préconisent les recommandations de 1990, section I.6 ). En d’autres termes, ce sont des mots ordinaires. On écrit ainsi des « plannings » , comme on écrirait « des scénarios » ou « des pizzas » ou « des bouddhas ». Cela pose d’autant moins de difficultés que ce mot est d’origine anglaise , langue dans laquelle le « s » est aussi la marque du pluriel. Cependant, en français, « planning » est un synonyme d’« emploi du temps », de « plan de travail » ou de « programme », alors q u’en anglais, il désigne l’action de planifier , et n’est pas employé au pluriel (on parlerait plutôt en français de « planification », à moins de pousser l’anglicisation jusqu’au bout). Ce mot est à ce titre un faux anglicisme .

Quand l’usage d’un mot étranger est rare, on peut en revanche préserver sa forme d’origine au pluriel, selon le contexte. Par exemple, on écrira un Land  allemand, et des Länder au pluriel.

Exemples : 

  • L’architecte chargée du projet a mis en ligne tous les emplois du temps pour la semaine prochaine.
  • Le programme d’arrêts de centrales électriques pour maintenance ont effrayé le gouvernement.
  • Avec cette nouvelle application, on peut créer des plannings communs afin de faciliter l’organisation des événements familiaux, etc.
  • L’équipe de direction a établi les plannings de chaque équipe pour l’organisation de la grande opération du mois prochain.
  • This company tries to improve planning and resilience in the event of a major economic change.

Le pluriel: plural nouns in French grammar

How to form the plural of french nouns, the plural of compound nouns in french.

  • Lingolia Plus French

What is le pluriel in French?

In French nouns can be singular or plural (pluriel). The plural form of a noun is usually formed by changing the article to les/des and adding an -s to the end of the word, however there are many exceptions!

Learn how to use plural nouns in French grammar with Lingolia’s quick and easy examples, then put your knowledge to the test in the exercises.

les billets

l'argent (no plural)

General Rules

The plural of most nouns is formed by adding an -s to the end of the word. This -s is silent: it is almost never pronounced aloud.

Plurals ending in - x

Some nouns form their plural with an - x . This includes:

  • nouns that end in - eau or - au Example: un château – des château x a castle – castles
  • nouns that end in -eu (except for pneu and bleu tyre, blue ) Examples: un cheveu – des cheveu x a hair – hair un pneu – des pneu s tyre – tyres
  • nouns that end in -ou, such as genou, caillou, hibou, bijou, pou, chou, joujou knee, pebble, owl, a piece of jewellery, louse, cabbage, toy Example: un genou – des genou x a knee – knees
  • nouns that end in - al. The ending - al becomes - aux in the plural. The exceptions to this are: le bal, le cal, le carnaval, le chacal, le festival, le régal dance, callus, carnival, jackal, festival, treat , whose plurals are formed by adding an -s. Examples: un journal – des journ aux a newspaper - newspapers but: un festival – des festival s a festival - festivals
  • nouns that end in - ail. The ending - ail becomes - aux in the plural. Examples include le bail, le corail, l’émail, le soupirail, le travail, le vitrail lease, coral, email, basement window, work, stained glass window Example: un vitrail – des vitrau x a stained-glass window - stained-glass windows but: un rail – des rail s a rail/track - rails/tracks

Nouns that end in - s , - x or - z in the singular do not change in the plural.

Some plural forms are completely irregular.

As their name suggests, compound nouns (les noms composés) consist of two or more words usually connected by a hyphen. The words that make up a compound noun can be nouns , verbs , adjectives , adverbs or prepositions . It’s not always easy to form the plural of these nouns, but the following rules can help:

  • If the compound noun includes an adjective , this always changes to agree with the plural. Examples: les grand s -parents grandparents les longue s -vues telescopes les saule s -pleureurs weeping willows
  • If the first word of the compound noun is grand , it only receives the plural -s in the masculine plural form. Examples: les grand s -pères grandfathers les grand-mères grandmothers
  • If the compound noun includes a verb , adverb or preposition , this remains unchanged in the plural. Examples: les porte -monnaie wallets , les lave -vaisselle dishwasher , les sèche -cheveux hairdryers (verb) les arrière -pensées ulterior motives , les avant -gardes frontliner (adverb) les arcs- en -ciel rainbows , les gardiens de but goalkeepers (preposition)
  • In the majority of cases, nouns receive the plural -s , although there are some exceptions. Examples: les rouges-gorges robin redbreasts , les choux-fleurs cauliflowers , les portes-fenêtres French doors , les bateaux-mouches tourist river boats on the Seine
  • If the compound noun contains nouns that refer to a collective entity or uncountable nouns, these remain in the singular. Examples: les porte-monnaie wallets , les lave-vaisselle dishwashers the nouns monnaie (money) and vaisselle (dishes) are uncountable and refer to collectives, meaning that they do not change in the plural des pommes de terre potatoes the word terre (earth) refers to the soil in which the potatoes grow, meaning that it is uncountable and remains unchanged in the plural
  • In some cases, whether or not the words within the compound noun are singular or plural depends on their meaning. Examples: une brosse à dents a toothbrush The noun dents (teeth) is always used in the plural although the compound noun is singular. This is because we brush all our teeth, not just one. un chef-d’œuvre/des chefs-d’œuvre masterpiece/masterpieces The word œuvre refers to an abstact concept in this compound noun, meaning that it stays in the singular.

plan d’action au pluriel

Quelle est l’orthographe de plan d’action au pluriel .

Comment s’écrit ce mot composé au pluriel ? Faut-il mettre un s  ? Ou bien deux ? L’orthographe correcte au pluriel est des plans d’action , avec un seul s , au mot plan .

Quand on écrit au pluriel un mot composé formé de deux noms reliés par le mot de , comme c’est le cas pour plan d’action , seul le premier des deux noms reçoit une marque de pluriel ; quant au deuxième nom (ici action ), il reste le même. On met donc un s à plan , mais pas à action .

L’erreur à éviter

L’orthographe des plans d’actions , dans laquelle on étend la marque de pluriel au mot action , est généralement considérée comme une erreur, mais pas bien grave.

Notons cependant que la graphie du singulier plan d’actions (qui ferait au pluriel des plans d’actions , en principe), se répand de plus en plus. La question de savoir s’il s’agit d’une erreur ou d’une variante n’est pas tranchée.

  • Accountant CL FAQs

Accountants can make or break a company’s finances. And since companies hire accountants with care to keep their finances in order, getting hired is competitive.

You have the  skills  to make any company proud, but even the best  accountant resume  might not be enough. It’s hard to argue with a killer resume  and  cover letter, though. Problem is, writing a cover letter can be harder than  building a resume , especially if you’re better with numbers than prose. 

We know, it’s no fun writing a cover letter, but we’ll help you  worry less and write better  with our accountant cover letter examples and writing guide, so you can wow employers and get the accounting role you want.

Why this cover letter works

  • For your accounting cover letter, find a way to incorporate the company’s mission into your experience. You can also discuss how you supported that mission at previous jobs. 
  • If the employer lists a vision statement, this could be a way to make a connection. Incorporate their vision into your cover letter by referencing it concerning your own vision for the future. This tells the employer you share the same goals.

Staff Accountant Cover Letter Example

  • In so doing, align your aim with the potential employer’s needs, demonstrating a convergence of interests that suggests beneficial mutual fulfillment.

Senior Accountant Cover Letter Example

Official senior accountant cover letter template

  • Use the  accountant job listing  to find out what the company needs and the skills they value. Then you can mention past positions and achievements relevant to the company’s mission in your senior accountant cover letter. 
  • For example, AMP Services’ job ad states they need someone who “resolves account discrepancies by investigating documentation.” Samaria speaks directly to this in a paragraph focused on reviewing documentation and how she improved the system.

Accounts Payable Specialist Cover Letter Example

  • Describe how you’ve positively impacted the company as a whole beyond just measurable accounting metrics. You don’t have to have cured cancer, but employers like to see that you invest in your work beyond duties. 
  • Snatch the company’s attention with a company-focused intro. Give them a compelling reason you’re applying—needing to pay the bills won’t convince employers you’re the right candidate for the job, even if it’s truthful.

3 Steps to Writing Your Accountant Cover Letter

Job seeker types accountant cover letter on blue laptop with a yellow cat sitting beside desk

An amazing accountant cover letter is two things: specific and separate from your resume. Your cover letter should stand on its own as a concise, detailed document that highlights your qualifications.

accounting job cover letter sample

Step 1: Due diligence comes first

Many people use the same cover letter repeatedly, but that won’t impress your future employer. Just as you can see financial trouble from a mile away, employers can spot a recycled cover letter within seconds. So, tailor your cover letter to each job for which you apply. 

Just as you can see financial trouble from a mile away, employers can spot a recycled cover letter within seconds.

Stuck on where to start? Let the  accountant job description  you’ve found guide you. Does the company need someone who has experience with Quickbooks? Explain how you used it to manage invoices for annual grants to the community college you worked for last year. Does the job ad mention a need for improved accounting processes? Describe how you implemented a mentorship program that reduced error rates by 33%. 

Do your research to confidently address how you can meet the company’s needs. You can also address the  soft and hard skills  they require; if they need someone to assist with annual audits, discuss how your time reconciling accounts means you have a keen attention to detail and a strong grasp of GAAP and FASB standards. In essence, take what you know and use it to show you have the necessary skills. 

accounting job cover letter sample

Step 2: Go beyond your resume

Most cover letters summarize their accompanying resume in boring, professional jargon, which won’t inspire someone to hire you.

Your accounting cover letter must convince the employer to seriously consider you even if they haven’t seen your resume. It needs to dig deeper than your resume allows and tell the story of your career.

What are your crowning achievements, and how did they impact your workplace or clients’ financial operations? Refer back to why you’re applying for this role and how you’ll change the company for the better. 

Think of it this way: your resume is a shallow pool, but your cover letter is a narrow trench. One gives a general overview of your qualifications while the other explores a few experiences in-depth. Below, we’ve shared two examples that dive into the trench.

  • We identified and eliminated multiple unnecessary expenditures, saving a total of $750+ for each project associated with reef research, particularly for their survey work regarding coral cover on the mesophotic reefs of Palau. This specific project spurred my interest in environmental care, particularly water quality and wastewater management.
  • With every document, I identified discrepancies or errors and collaborated with my team members to craft solutions, resulting in a significant decrease in error resolution time and an invoice exception rate of over 27 percent. For every client, I reached out after four months to ensure their financial departments were still running smoothly.

Both mention responsibilities that should also be on the resume, but they  explain the significance of their work and what happened afterward .

Step 3: Do communicate the right message

Now that you know what to include, let’s discuss   how  to include it. Keep in mind this is still a letter; it should be informative without going over a page, and it needs to sound professional without being stuffy.

Much like a normal letter, imagine you’re having a conversation. You need to be professional, but you should also be relatable and interesting. And just like a good conversation, you should always circle back to how you can improve the employer’s business. 

The good news is you can revise your cover letter before you send it. Review your cover letter with the same precision you apply when reviewing financial transactions. As you revise, shorten your sentences, improve your word choice, and establish your personality. We won’t say it’s fun, but revision is an essential step to writing a cover letter that gets you the job.

Outline Your Accountant Cover Letter

Accountant and three colleagues on yellow laptops outline a cover letter

Staring at a blank page can be intimidating, especially when it comes to cover letters. Never fear, BeamJobs is here! Use our outline to organize your cover letter to perfection.

Your contact info: Your future employer will need to contact you at some point, so include your number, email, and your location (city and state). And of course, they’ll need your full name, so don’t forget to enter that into your template. Many employers also ask to see your LinkedIn profile. 

  • Formatting:  Whether you’re using a template or a block format, leave your name out of your address. If you’re using a template, put your name on the letterhead. If you’re using a block format, only include your name in your signature.

Date:  Every letter needs a date, but if you’re using a template or outline, don’t forget to change the date when you submit. If you sent your letter in April but started drafting it in February, the hiring manager may look at you funny.

  • Formatting:  Write out the full date, not just the month and year, e.g. January 3, 2023.

Inside address:  It sounds a bit counter-intuitive to include the inside address (aka the recipient’s address) since most cover letters are virtual, but it shows the employer you’ve done your research, and it makes it look more professional and complete.

Include the hiring manager’s name, their title, and the company’s address at the top of your cover letter, left-justified. If you can’t find the company’s complete address or the hiring manager’s name, don’t stress. Try checking on LinkedIn, Facebook, their website, and other job boards.

  • Formatting:  Each part of the address should be on a new line. Double space between the inside address and greeting. 

Joanne Perry Stone Environmental Human Resources/Office Administrator 535 Stone Cutters Way Montpelier, VT 05602 

Greeting:  Just like a good handshake, a good greeting (also called a salutation) helps you make the right first impression. Always say “Dear [Name]” instead of “hello” or any other iteration. (It is a business letter, after all.) Then, address the employer/hiring manager by name. This shows you’ve taken the time to research who’s in charge of the hiring process.

  • Formatting:  After your greeting, you can use either a colon or a comma; colons are typically used in business letters, but a comma works if the company is more casual. Whether you use a comma or a colon, don’t forget to include their title of “Mr.” or Ms.” and don’t ever just use their first name.

Body:  The body of your accountant cover letter should cover why you’re interested in the position, your credentials, and your enthusiasm for future discussion. We’ll take a look at each section.

  • Formatting:  Single-space the text in your body, but be sure to double-space between paragraphs. 

Opening paragraph:  Just like a good book, you’ve got to get your reader hooked from the first line. That’s hard to accomplish, though, which is why so many cover letter openings sound like this (and yes, we’ve seen this actual example!).

When I found the job listing at Alterra Mountain Company, it sounded like a dream come true.

While this has potential, it’s generic and lifeless. Even the cliché “dream come true” phrase can’t strengthen this intro. This example, though, enthusiastically shows your interest and your credentials. 

I first heard about Alterra Mountain Company when you joined the Climate Collaborative Charter, and ever since, I’ve wanted to join your community of passionate outdoor adventurers who love the mountains and their communities with equal fervor. As a CAPP with four years of accounts payable experience, I know I can manage your travel and expense systems, resolve system issues, and support Alterra Mountain staff as your Travel & Expenses Accounts Payable Specialist.

This tells the employer that the candidate not only knows about but values the company’s mission. He also makes it clear that he’s studied what this role will entail. 

If you’re struggling to write your intro, write a few openers until you get one that sounds right. Sometimes it takes a few tries, and that’s okay—just keep trying until you hit one that’s focused and engaging.

Paragraphs 2-3:  These paragraphs support your claims in the opening paragraph. Each paragraph should focus on a clear accomplishment. Maybe you managed grants totaling over $15 million for a community college, or maybe you initiated daily reporting to reduce manual reporting work hours. 

Avoid the temptation to tackle too much per paragraph; you can’t go into as much detail (save the list of your credentials for your resume, instead). Here’s a good example of a focused discussion of a significant milestone. 

Within the hospitality industry, I have three years of experience working as an accountant for the Goode Company Restaurant Group. I learned how to work within a team-oriented and deadline-driven environment while managing multiple accounts. By the end of my time there, I had lowered the cost per invoice and invoice exception rate by 17 percent, and through my partnership with management, improved the budget to actual variance by 13 percent.

This paragraph gives a general overview of the candidate’s past role without getting sidetracked. It also includes some phrases from the job description, including “team-oriented” and “deadline-driven” while including metrics. 

Closing paragraph:  Finish strong with a sentence summary of how your values and qualifications align with the company’s needs. Lastly, give a call to action. Whatever you do, don’t end the way 99 percent of other accountants will, like this.

I believe I would be a good fit for the senior accountant position, and I hope to talk more with you soon about my qualifications. 

It’s not that those sentiments are untrue, but they’re, once again, generic and lifeless. This close, however, will leave a positive lasting impression.

Achieving these goals has been rewarding, but I’m excited to master new skills and handle multiple dynamic projects that will help provide scientific tools, information, and analyses to help clients solve environmental challenges. Stone Environmental is a place where I can live my values, grow my skills, collaborate with a motivated, talented team, and assist employees directly. I would be thrilled to share more of my experience with you and look forward to connecting soon.

Signature:  Make sure you say “thank you” if you didn’t do that in the closing paragraph. Then sign off with a professional closing phrase along with your name. 

  • Formatting: If you’re presenting hard copies of your accountant cover letter, you’ll want to physically sign the document, so quadruple space after the closing phrase to leave enough room for your signature in handy black/blue ink.

Best regards,

Samaria Singh

Enclosure(s):  Lots of cover letters miss this step, but this alerts the hiring manager to what follows your knockout cover letter. As an accountant, you’ll want to include your resume, the job application form, and any reference letters requested in the job ad. Employers may also ask for your college transcript or CPA/CMA licenses, although many just ask for the application and your resume.

  • Formatting:  Use the singular or plural form of “enclosure” depending on how many documents you attach. If you say “enclosures” but only have your resume, it feels like you copied and pasted it from a template.

Takeoff with Your Accountant Resume

Cat in purple rocket takes off into stars to signify finishing an accountant cover letter and resume

Now that you have the resources you need to make your cover letter shine, don’t neglect your  accountant resume . They’re two sides of the same coin, so make sure your resume is just as polished as your cover letter. After all, your resume is where you can list the duties you excel at, such as analyzing balance sheet accounts and checking compliance with financial policies and procedures.

We know—it’s exhausting writing financial reports all day only to have to write a resume on top of your cover letter. We ease the process with our quick 11 steps on  how to make a good resume , and we have  free resume templates  like this one, which you can edit right now, to help you start (or rewrite) your resume.

You have what it takes, so let our tools empower you to take your career documents from general to great. We’re cheering for you, and when you land your next accounting role, be sure and let us in on your great news! 

The best approach is to adjust to match the company, but always leave a little room for error and keep things professional if you’re unsure. Browse through the accountant job description and company website—if both are casual, it’s all right for you to be semi-relaxed, too. Keep in mind that accounting involves a lot of hard data and finances are at stake, so maintain a tone of respect and professionalism, but don’t use big words if the job listing doesn’t—it’s important to sound human.

Much like your accountant resume , the cover letter may be scanned and skimmed, so it’s best not to make it too long. Try to keep it around 300 words. Go over it and edit it a few times, cutting out things that don’t accurately showcase your excitement at joining the company or your specific skills as an accountant, such as your background in corporate taxes.

It’s okay to have a template you refer back to every time you apply, but it’s best to update every paragraph to match the job listing. Include the company name, role, and references to the job itself throughout. For instance, if you’d be working in accounts payable, you can talk about your experience using QuickBooks to manage invoices.

The best way to start an Accountant cover letter is by addressing the hiring manager directly, if their name is known. This personalizes your letter and shows you've done your research. Then, introduce yourself and state the position you're applying for. Follow this with a compelling hook that highlights your most relevant skills, experiences, or achievements. For example, "As a Certified Public Accountant with over 5 years of experience in managing financial records and analyses, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your team." This approach immediately showcases your qualifications and enthusiasm for the role.

Accountants should end a cover letter by summarizing their interest in the role and their qualifications. It's important to reiterate how their skills and experiences align with the job requirements. They should also express enthusiasm for the opportunity to contribute to the company. A call to action, such as expressing eagerness to discuss the role further in an interview, can also be beneficial. For example: "I am excited about the opportunity to bring my unique blend of skills and experience to your firm and am confident in my ability to provide high-quality financial services. I look forward to the possibility of discussing my application with you further." Remember to end with a professional closing like "Sincerely" or "Best regards," followed by your full name. It's also good practice to include your contact information below your name.

An Accountant's cover letter should ideally be about one page long. This length is sufficient to introduce yourself, explain why you're interested in the role, and highlight a few key skills or experiences that make you a strong candidate. It's important to keep it concise and to the point, as hiring managers often have many applications to review and may not have time to read lengthy cover letters. Remember, the cover letter is meant to entice the reader to look at your resume for more details, not to provide your entire career history. As an accountant, focus on your specific skills and experiences that are relevant to the job you're applying for, such as your attention to detail, your ability to work with numbers, and any specific accounting software you're proficient in.

Writing a cover letter with no experience as an Accountant can seem challenging, but it's all about showcasing your relevant skills, education, and enthusiasm for the role. Here's how you can do it: 1. Start with a Professional Greeting: Address the hiring manager by their name if it's available. If not, use a professional greeting such as "Dear Hiring Manager". 2. Opening Paragraph: Start by mentioning the position you're applying for and where you found the job listing. Express your enthusiasm for the role and the company. 3. Highlight Relevant Skills and Education: Even if you don't have direct experience, you can still highlight relevant skills and education. If you've recently graduated, mention any relevant coursework or projects. If you're transitioning from another field, highlight transferable skills such as analytical thinking, attention to detail, and proficiency with numbers. 4. Showcase Your Enthusiasm to Learn: Employers understand that entry-level candidates may not have a lot of experience. Show your eagerness to learn and grow in the role. Mention any relevant certifications you're planning to pursue or any self-study you've done to learn more about accounting. 5. Provide Examples: Use specific examples to demonstrate your skills. For instance, if you've done any internships or part-time jobs that required analytical skills, mention those. 6. Show You Fit the Company Culture: Research the company and mention why you're a good fit for their culture. This shows the employer that you've taken the time to understand their company and are genuinely interested in working there. 7. Closing Paragraph: In your closing paragraph, thank the hiring manager for considering your application. Express your interest in the opportunity to discuss your qualifications further in an interview. 8. Professional Closing: End the letter with a professional closing such as "Sincerely" or "Best regards," followed by your full name. Remember, the goal of the cover letter is to get the hiring manager interested enough to read your resume and call you for an interview. Keep it concise, professional, and focused on your skills and enthusiasm for the role.
