Type of Engagement : 12-month contract (Not open to 3rd party C2C consultants. Visa sponsorship is not available)

Work Location:

Job Overview Performs professional accounting functions in either accounting staff or operating unit applications. In staff applications, functions are typically to conduct studies, analyze financial data, monitor costs and cost control procedures and provide accounting staff support to Controller's Division or to assigned proponent department personnel such as project management. In operating applications, functions are typically to accumulate and prepare CCSD input data, prepare schedules, reports and payrolls, make related accounting entries, initiate payments, and maintain records and controls.

Scope Responsible, under the general direction of Accounting Staff Analysts or Financial Analysts, for assignments that are typically of limited scope with the parameters reasonably well defined and the approach/methods established by previous similar studies and efforts. Incumbent is expected to function relatively independently in performing assignments. Supervision is normally limited to discussion of initial job assignments, consultation on unusual situations, periodic progress reports and review of completed work. In operating unit applications, duties are normally defined and structured by policy and procedures with supervision from Unit Head.
