DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Account Clerk I
The Account Clerk I is the entry-level classification in the Account Clerk series. Positions in this class typically require little or no directly related work experience. Incumbents work under immediate supervision while learning to perform routine accounting duties. As experience is gained and familiarity with departmental and City-wide procedures increases, incumbents work under general supervision and perform more varied tasks with increasing independence.

This classification is alternatively staffed with Account Clerk II, and incumbents may advance to the higher level upon gaining the required experience and demonstrating the necessary proficiency.

Account Clerk II
The Account Clerk II is the journey-level classification in the Account Clerk Series. Incumbents are expected to perform the full range of accounting support functions with minimal supervision, including complex and technical assignments that require a deeper understanding of accounting principles and procedures. This level is distinguished from Account Clerk I by the greater scope of duties, increased technical knowledge, and greater use of independent judgment in applying established procedures.

Senior Account Clerk
The Senior Account Clerk is the advanced journey-level classification in the Account Clerk series. Incumbents are distinguished from Account Clerk I and II by the higher degree of responsibility, independence, and complexity of work performed. Senior Account Clerks handle the most difficult and technical accounting support functions, interpret and apply policies to unique and complex situations, and often serve in a lead capacity by training, guiding, and reviewing the work of lower-level Account Clerks.

 

SUPERVISION RECEIVED/EXERCISED

The Account Clerk I receives general supervision from the Customer Service Supervisor, Accounting Manager, Finance Manager, or Director of Finance. Incumbents in this classification do not routinely exercise supervision.

The Account Clerk II receives general supervision from the Customer Service Supervisor, Accounting Manager, Finance Manager, or Director of Finance. May serve in a lead capacity by providing functional and technical guidance to other Account Clerks.
