• Monitor and balance assigned accounts, verify expenditure coding and availability of funds, reconcile financial information, and assist with budget preparation.
• Perform purchasing and vendor administration, including vendor setup, purchase orders, required documentation, and coordination with vendors, District staff, and County purchasing personnel.
