Description

Under general supervision, establishes, reviews, revises, and maintains controls on fiscal recordkeeping functions in an accounting subdivision for a County department; or audits the fiscal records and accounting procedures of special districts or County departments; and performs other related duties as required.

The Accountant II class is the fully qualified journey level in the professional Accountant series. Incumbents perform the full range of assignments requiring a greater technical knowledge than those given to the Accountant I class. The Accountant II class reports to a Principal Accountant, Supervising Accountant or Senior Accountant and may be assigned the responsibility for an accounting subdivision or for the accounting function of a County department, or may be given auditing assignments of average difficulty. In addition, incumbents may supervise clerical or technical staff, and may mentor Accountant Trainees.

The Accountant II is distinguished from the Senior Accountant class in that the latter is the advanced journey and lead level class in the series. Incumbents perform complex accounting and auditing assignments requiring an extensive technical knowledge and the exercise of a greater degree of independent judgment than the Accountant II class.

The Accountant II class is not a natural progression underfill for the class of Senior Accountant.
