Accountant (Temporary Assignment)

3 weeks ago

Oakland, United States Alameda County General Services Agency Full time

DESCRIPTION

Under direction, to perform varied and complex professional accounting work; to prepare analytical, narrative, statistical, and accounting reports; and to perform other related duties as required.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES

This class represents higher skilled, journey level professional accounting positions. Incumbents of positions in this class work independently and do not require the technical supervision ordinarily given to the entry-level positions of Accountant-Auditors or lower classifications. In some smaller departments, Accountants may have a wide range of departmental accounting responsibility. In large departments having varied accounting functions, Accountants may maintain financial records for a department division. They prepare and review vouchers, warrants, purchase orders, requisitions, and similar financial documents. Positions in this class are distinguished from the next lower class of Accountant Auditor in that the latter is an entry level, trainee position. Accountant is distinguished from the next higher class of Senior Accountant in that the latter has program responsibility and performs the more difficult technical work and has lead and/or supervisory responsibilities.

The following are the duties performed by employees in this classification. However, employees may perform other related duties at an equivalent level. Each individual in the classification does not necessarily perform all duties listed.
- Prepares a variety of financial reports and analytical accounting, statistical and narrative reports for the department, County Auditor, and other agencies.
