Production Accounting Workshop

WHAT IS A PRODUCTION ACCOUNT CLERK?
A Production Accounting Clerk supports each member of the Accounting team with clerical tasks, such as filing, copying, scanning, and data entry. The department processes large volumes of important and confidential paperwork; therefore the clerk's role is vital in keeping this paperwork organized and circulating. An accounting clerk should be able to multi-task; work well under pressure; be detail-oriented; and have proficiency in math and preparation of spreadsheets.
