Workforce Training Program - Production Accounting Clerk Workshop

What is a Production Accountant Clerk?

A Production Accounting Clerk supports each member of the Accounting team with clerical tasks, such as filing, copying, scanning, and data entry. The Accounting Department is made up of the Key Accountant, 1st and 2nd Assistants, the Payroll Accountant and a Production Accounting Clerk. 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. Clerks should also have a reliable vehicle to use for set runs and other duties.
