In providing project accounting support to technical teams, the job holder interacts directly with internal and external parties on matters relating to financial status and reporting requirements and provides clarity on USAID and federal financial management
policies and procedures in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards.

While each Accountant manages a primary portfolio consisting of one or more technical teams and/or client Operating Units, each Accountant also serves as backup to one or more of the others, performing some of the duties of the other position during peak periods and coordinating a balanced workload during the incumbent’s absence.
