As an accounting clerk or bookkeeper, you will compute, classify and record numerical data to keep sets of financial records complete. You may also check the accuracy of data originally recorded by other workers. Some accounting clerks or bookkeepers are fully responsible for the accounting records of a business. Others may be responsible for specific parts of the records, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, financial statements, budgets and costing systems.

These tasks are performed under the direction of a professional accountant. Professional accounting requires a four-year degree and is not available through this program.

Accounting clerks and bookkeepers are hired by public accounting firms, private and public organizations, businesses, and occasionally by individuals. Our graduates work with such firms as Oregon Graduate Institute, Wells Fargo Bank, Accountemps, Blue Cross and Intel.
