This role oversees daily workflow, conducts technical reviews, monitors deadlines, coordinates hybrid staff operations, and ensures continued support for cashiering activities.

The Accounting Supervisor plays a key role in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the District’s financial records by contributing to the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), month-end and year-end close processes, internal controls, and compliance with governmental accounting standards and regulatory requirements. Working closely with the Accounting Manager, this position provides technical expertise in complex accounting areas, including capital assets and Construction in Progress (CIP), government-wide financial reporting, self-funded medical plan accounting, GASB lease and SBITA requirements, pension and OPEB reporting, treasury reconciliations, and financial data validation across multiple systems.
