• A solid understanding of modern office practices and administrative procedures

• Comfort with data entry and light accounting work – accuracy and organization are second nature to you
• A sense of humour and a team-first attitude.

Required Knowledge, Abilities, and Skills:
Sound knowledge of the services, functions, procedures, policies, by-laws and regulations governing applicable department operations and activities as they relate to the work performed.

Ability to perform clerical assignments, with proficiency in MS Office, specifically Word and Excel.

Ability to perform data entry duties of a bookkeeping/accounting clerical nature, with a high degree of accuracy and the ability to operate a computer terminal.

Required Education, Training, and Experience:
High school graduation including or supplemented by courses in accounting, business, and word processing subjects, experience with accounting software is an asset. Sound-related experience preferably in a Financial Agency; OR an equivalent combination of training and experience.
