JOB DESCRIPTION

ACCOUNTING ASSISTANT I/II
SALARY: RANGE 57/61
Draft Classification
Pending CC Approval 10/01/25
FLSA Non-Exempt – Teamsters
Department: Finance Department

DEFINITION
Under immediate (Accounting Assistant I) to general (Accounting Assistant II) supervision, performs a variety of customer service, account processing, and recordkeeping duties in support of the City’s financial operations including utility billing, business licensing, and accounts receivable; maintains frequent contact with the public providing support for a variety of billing, licensing, and utility service inquiries in-person, over the phone, or via email; opens, closes, and maintains customer files and accounts; processes payments and logs account activity; and performs related work as required.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives immediate (Accounting Assistant I) or general (Accounting Assistant II) supervision from the Finance Manager. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Accounting Assistant I: This is the entry-level classification in the Accounting Assistant series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform clerical accounting and customer service duties in support of financial operations. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; 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 Accounting Assistant 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.

Accounting Assistant II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Accounting Assistant series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Accounting Assistant 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.

Positions in the Accounting Assistant class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Accounting Assistant II level are normally filled by advancement from the Accounting Assistant I level; progression to the Accounting Assistant II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Accounting Assistant II level.

Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
IT Technician I: This is the entry-level classification in the IT Technician series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine technical support duties. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; 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 IT Technician 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.

IT Technician II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the IT Technician series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the IT Technician 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.

Positions in the IT Technician class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the IT Technician II level are normally filled by advancement from the IT Technician I level; progression to the IT Technician II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the IT Technician II level.
