Supervisor (Retail Accounting) Resume Sample

Retail stores make huge transactions daily. Everyday a vast number of customers visit the stores and make purchases while a store accountant makes deposits and withdrawals from the banks. While all this goes on regularly, it has to be recorded and analyzed to avoid any discrepancies in financial management of a store. While an accountant works on maintaining the accounts, there are many other factors that need to be managed and monitored.

Thus, a senior accountant or accounting supervisor is hired to oversee the work of the subordinates. Especially in retail stores, the accounting procedures are vast and a team of accountants work on the same. A group of subordinates work and report to their seniors. In very small setups, only one accountant suffices to handle the responsibilities. However, in medium or large setups, more than one person is needed to manage the same.

The senior level professional who is responsible for overseeing the accounting procedures of a retail store is known as a retail accounting supervisor.
