This is a new National Guard Title 5 Excepted Service Financial Clerical and Technician Program Series GS-0503 qualification standard. It covers one-grade interval work that involves performing or supervising financial clerical or financial technician work in support of accounting, auditing, budgeting, or financial management functions when no other established series in the Accounting and Budget Group, GS-500, is appropriate. The work requires a knowledge of the procedures and techniques involved in carrying out the work of an organization and involves application of procedures and practices within the framework of established guidelines. Employees in this series perform clerical and technician work in support of accounting, budget, financial management, or fiscal operations not readily classified to another more specific series, or that includes a combination of work classifiable to two or more series in the GS-500 group. The financial clerical work involves compiling figures, maintaining records, compiling reports, or performing other procedural work which represents the transactions or business of an organization. The Financial Technician work involves various kinds of duties which require applying a practical knowledge of regulations and precedent cases. Financial technicians apply specific procedures and established methods. Some finance program technicians may perform specialized non-administrative work in preparing data for automated financial systems or may support professionals by writing synopses of audits or financial reports or deciding entitlements against definitive criteria. Due to the current DoD certification requirements for Title 5 Excepted Service GS-0503 employees, this qualification standard identifies and discusses the National Guard GS-0503 positions' GS grades and certification requirements. The GS-0503 positions are located in various Army and Air National Guard locations, identified as JFHQ-State U.S. Property and Fiscal Office (USP&FO) and the ANG Wing Comptroller Finance Offices. The required competencies (skills, knowledge, abilities, and behaviors) required to perform the Series GS-0503 finance duties were identified through a job analysis of each specified GS-0503 position description. The qualification requirements include competencies in resilience, teamwork, attention to details, creative thinking, integrity, honesty, and positive customer service skills.
