Background/Discussion
The Director of Finance has performed an analysis of finance responsibilities, upcoming process improvement projects, resourcing and succession planning and has determined that there is a need to abolish the current open Accountant I position and establish an Accountant II position.
This Accountant II position will report to the Revenue Supervisor. In upcoming months, the revenue area of Finance will focus on process improvement projects to leverage contemporary technology in billing, receipt and collection of funds. Our goal is to improve external customer (community) experience and internal team/customer efficiencies. Additionally, Finance is focusing on team development in leveraging MUNIS ERP, Microsoft office toolset and technical accounting. This development will be ongoing. Additional strategic resource planning is occurring to address anticipated loss of institutional knowledge through team development, staff development, cross training and succession planning.
Although the pay grade is higher than the Accountant I, it is anticipated that the new candidate entrance salary will be very close to the exited Accountant I salary.
