Duties

Help

The purpose of this position is to independently perform the full range of accounting duties using double-entry accrual accounting methods for both AFSVC and Air Force-wide programs, operating in strict accordance with DoW and Air Force regulations. Daily responsibilities include classifying and verifying a wide variety of accounting documents to ensure mathematical accuracy, completeness of information, and the assignment of appropriate accounting codes to control documents. Core responsibilities include preparing journal entries, maintaining expenditure records, posting entries to established general ledger accounts, and preparing Air Force NAF Central Fund disbursement requests, ensuring all financial transactions are fully authorized and supported by proper documentation. A significant portion of this role is dedicated to managing travel and expense programs. The incumbent manages Defense Travel System (DTS) operations by reviewing, routing, and processing travel authorizations and vouchers, ensuring all documents strictly comply with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) and applicable NAF policies. Serving as a subject matter expert, the incumbent provides guidance to travelers, resolves DTS routing issues, and assists with complex claims. Furthermore, the incumbent acts as the Agency Program Coordinator (APC) and primary liaison with the government travel charge card (GTCC) provider. Duties also encompass computing and adjudicating NAF travel and Permanent Change of Station (PCS) expenses for AFSVC personnel, management interns, career personnel, sports participants, and other centrally funded programs. This includes validating and processing vendor invoices regarding PCS/TDY entitlements and payment requests for worldwide NAF household goods shipping costs. To maintain financial integrity, the incumbent reviews monthly balances and reconciles them to the appropriate general ledger accounts, tracing and resolving any discrepancies using supporting documentation. The position requires the preparation of detailed reports encompassing financial statement analysis and miscellaneous financial data. Effective communication is critical, as the incumbent regularly liaises with various stakeholders, including AFSVC personnel and Air Force field personnel-to resolve problems, correct financial discrepancies, and provide authoritative guidance. The incumbent also manages required database files, coordinates with supervisors on necessary program changes, collaborates to accomplish organizational objectives, and performs other duties, including designated backup functions, as required by mission needs.
