About The Position

The Senior Account Clerk performs moderately difficult financial account and records maintenance independently. The work may involve deciding which methods to use and how to classify records and accounts. The position includes entering and retrieving information using computer database and spreadsheet software. Compared with an Account Clerk, the work is more complex and involves greater responsibility and independent judgment. Compared with a Principal Account Clerk, it involves less independent judgment and less complex tasks. The work is performed under the general supervision of a higher-level subordinate. The incumbent may train lower-level clerical workers, but supervision is not necessarily a responsibility of the position. Related duties are performed as required. This is an in-office position, not a remote position.

Requirements

Relevant coursework in accounting, business administration, or a closely related field may substitute for required experience: three semester credit hours are equivalent to three months of experience. Coursework must be clearly detailed in the application.

Responsibilities

Independently maintain financial accounts and records of moderate difficulty.
Determine appropriate methods and classifications for records and accounts as needed.
