Business & Finance Officer II
King County Sheriff's Office · Seattle, WA · 2 days ago
$47.01–$59.59/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Must only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have salary range: $47.01 - $59.59 Hourly. So Pay section with that. Schedule: typical work schedule 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday, overtime eligible. Also hybrid model: three days in office, telecommuting. So schedule section can include that. Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph describing benefits. So include Benefits section.
About the role: we have description summary: "The King County Sheriff's Office, Finance, Budget and Accounting team is recruiting for a Budget and Finance Officer II. This role supports procurement, financial transactions, auditing, and system improvements while ensuring compliance with King County policies and regulations. It independently manages complex procurement operations, processes detailed financial activities, assists with grant-related requirements, and provides analytical support across programs. The position also serves in a lead role for three (3) Fiscal Specialists, offering training, workload coordination, and guidance on financial procedures." That's description. Could be About the role.
Responsibilities: list of duties under "Job Duties". We have many bullet-like sentences. We'll put them in
- .
Requirements: maybe "Experience, Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills" section includes minimum experience etc. Could be Requirements. Also "Additional Requirements" includes background, citizenship, etc. Could be Requirements.
Qualifications: maybe "Desired Qualifications". Skills: maybe list of skills like proficiency in Excel etc. But we can combine.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
We must preserve all substantive info. So include salary, location, job type maybe? Location is given: King County Courthouse - 516 3rd Ave, Seattle, WA. Should we include location? Not a heading but could be in a short p under maybe About the role? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location in a p maybe under About the role or separate? Probably include a short p with location and job type etc. But we need to decide sections. We have sections: About the role (p with summary and location?), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements (p with experience etc), Qualifications (p with desired qualifications), Skills (p with skills), Benefits (ul of benefits), Pay (p with salary), Schedule (p with schedule/hybrid). We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Let's extract details: Location: King County Courthouse - 516 3rd Ave, Seattle, WA Job Type: Civil Service Hours/Week: 40 hours/week FLSA: Non-Exempt Bargaining Unit: H9 : PSEU-Non-Comm's KCSO Full- or Part-Time: Full Time We could include these in a short p under About the role or separate "Details". But we have no heading for Details; we could just include them in About the role paragraph. But we must not repeat job title. So About the role heading
About the role
then a p containing summary plus location, job type, etc. Responsibilities: list from Job Duties.

But that duplicates some content from Requirements. Might be okay but we risk duplication. Better to separate: Requirements = experience and years; Skills = technical and soft skills. Qualifications = desired qualifications. Let's extract skills: Proficient in Microsoft Office suite, with intermediate to advanced skills in Excel (e.g. pivot tables, formulas, data analysis). Experience working with enterprise financial systems such as Oracle EBS, Concur, BI Insights. Demonstrated experience preparing financial reports and statements, including reconciliations and budget tracking. Familiarity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), bookkeeping, and accounting practices. Strong attention to detail with the ability to verify, troubleshoot, and resolve accounting discrepancies and payment issues.

Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to work collaboratively across disciplines (including various ranks of law enforcement) Experience building and maintaining trusting relationships with colleagues and stakeholders from diverse backgrounds. Proven skill in collaborating effectively across diverse disciplines, utilizing strong interpersonal skills to build trust and streamline communication That's a lot; we can keep as Skills. Requirements: Minimum of five (5) years of professional, comprehensive accounting experience, including three years of procurement, accounts payables experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience in financial operations within a large organization. Relevant areas may include budgeting, financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and procurement. Three (3) years of experience with purchasing policies and processing travel and expense claims. Knowledge of budgeting, finance, managerial accounting, and financial accounting. That seems good. Qualifications: Desired Qualifications: Knowledge of public sector budgeting and government fund accounting, including Federal and State grant accounting and reporting. Public purchasing and procurement experience Advanced knowledge of Oracle/EBS, BI Insights and Concur. Lead or supervisor experience Additional Requirements (background, citizenship, etc.) maybe we can include under Requirements as a separate paragraph? But we have no heading for Additional Requirements; we could incorporate into Requirements paragraph after experience. But we must not invent headings. Could add a paragraph under Requirements about background standards etc. That's still part of Requirements. Thus Requirements paragraph will include experience + knowledge + additional requirements. Let's craft: Requirements paragraph: "Minimum of five (5) years of professional, comprehensive accounting experience, including three years of procurement, accounts payables experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience in financial operations within a large organization. Relevant areas may include budgeting, financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and procurement. Three (3) years of experience with purchasing policies and processing travel and expense claims.
