Commis à la comptabilité

Les commis à la comptabilité – plus souvent appelés les commis-comptables – sont responsables de la tenue des livres et des registres comptables de leur employeur. Ils calculent et préparent des documents comme des factures, des fiches de paye et des relevés d’inventaire. Ils gèrent l’encaisse (dépôt, transfert de fonds, petite caisse) ainsi que les comptes fournisseurs et les comptes clients. Dans le cadre de leurs fonctions, ils peuvent être amenés à produire des déclarations de revenus, à consigner des transactions dans un registre informatique et à effectuer d’autres tâches de bureaux connexes comme du traitement de texte ou du classement. C’est un métier utile qui demande une bonne capacité de concentration et des aptitudes en calcul. Un emploi dans un bureau à titre de commis-comptable requiert de l’honnêteté, de la discrétion et de la minutie.
