Do you have a passion for helping others? Do you want to make a meaningful impact in a charming and diverse community? Turn your passion into a career in public service with the City of Menlo Park!

The City of Menlo Park is excited to invite applications for the position of Accountant I/II. Finance is seeking a passionate, detail-oriented individual who wants to provide exceptional customer service to their fellow employees, as we all work together to serve our community.

Here in Menlo Park, we believe that people are our most important asset. As a service organization, we seek to recruit team-oriented individuals who are dedicated to public service. Under direct or general supervision, the Accountant I/II performs a variety of professional accounting duties, including auditing, analyzing, and verifying fiscal records and reports; preparing financial and statistical reports; providing information to City staff regarding accounting practices and procedures; reconciling general ledger accounts; assisting in preparing the City’s annual budgets; preparing year-end audit reports and schedules; performing related work as required.

Accountant I

This is the entry-level classification in the Accountant Series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents perform a variety of professional accounting duties while learning City policies and procedures. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult and close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Accountant II

This is the full journey-level classification in the series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Successful performance of the work requires thorough knowledge of governmental accounting practices and procedures, fund accounting, and fiscal management.

The positions in the Accountant class series are flexibly staffed. Accountant I positions have the opportunity to advance to the Accountant II level, subject to management approval and the employee’s ability to (i) perform the full range of duties assigned to the Accountant II level, and (ii) acquire the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to meet the minimum qualifications for the Accountant II level of the series.
