To plan, organize, supervise and personally perform professional accounting work to ensure regulatory compliance with governmental accounting standards for a department, or major program area or section within an assigned department; to prepare a variety of complex accounting, statistical and narrative reports regarding financial transactions, grant programs, or trusts; to provide recommendations for efficiencies and improvements in accounting systems; manage the effective use of department resources to improve organizational productivity and customer service; and to provide highly responsible technical assistance to management staff in assigned department.
This is the advanced journey, supervisory level class in the Accountant series. Positions at this level are distinguished from other classes within the series by the level of responsibility assumed, complexity of duties assigned, independence of action taken, and the nature of external contacts and representation. Employees perform complex accounting and financial analyses, and typically supervise an accounting function including professional accounting, technical and clerical personnel. Employees at this level are required to be fully trained in all procedures related to assigned area of responsibility. This job class may also provide responsible, professional accounting services to the County's investment activities. Successful performance of the work requires extensive professional background as well as skill in coordinating departmental work. This class is distinguished from the Accountant - Supervising in that the latter predominantly plans, coordinates, organizes, and supervises an assigned work unit(s) within a large, multi-unit division within departments that have agency-wide financial accounting and reporting responsibility. This class is further distinguished from the Auditor series by the latter’s regular performance of internal compliance, financial and performance audits performed in accordance with professional standards such as Institute of Internal Auditors, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards, including preparing audit reports with the issuance of an opinion.
