This is advanced professional and supervisory accounting work applying established accounting principles and methods to prepare, maintain, analyze, and control complex financial records. Employees in this class are responsible for planning, assigning, and reviewing the work of subordinate accountants and clerical employees engaged in the preparation and analysis of financial statements and reports, classifying, balancing, and maintaining journals and ledgers, and performing related accounting duties.

Some incumbents in the class exercise significant responsibility as the reviewing authority for reimbursement by State and Federal agencies for locally expended funds. This class differs from the Accountant 1 class by requiring advanced knowledge of accounting theories, governmental accounting procedures, and a higher level of supervisory responsibility. Incumbents exercise considerable independent professional judgment in solving problems that arise within their assigned areas.

They are called on to develop and design new and revised accounting procedures or systems as needed. Supervision is typically exercised over a group of subordinate accountants and clerical employees who assist in various accounting, collection, and related activities. Supervision is received from a professional or administrative superior who reviews accounting records, statements, and reports for attainment of desired quality of results and adherence to professional accounting standards and program guidelines.

Completed work is also subject to periodic internal or external audits.

Applicants who previously applied should not re-apply.
