I’m Ms. Smith, currently looking for a job. I’d like to ask Dr. Job about the FINANCIAL SYSTEMS SPECIALIST position at Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
Who can apply for the Financial Systems Specialist position?
So, current permanent DFAS employees in the competitive service, DoD PPP Military Spouse preference applicants, and DFAS VRA employees can apply. Also, applicants on the Cleveland list might be placed at Bratenahl.
What’s the salary range for this job?
The salary for this position ranges from $90,341 to $121,502.
What kind of experience do I need to qualify for this role?
You’ll need at least one year of specialized experience that’s similar in difficulty and responsibility to a GS-11 level in federal service. This means you should be familiar with financial management methods and practices, especially in writing test plans for financial systems.
Is there any certification required for this job?
Yes, you’ll need to obtain and maintain a Level 2 Certification under the DoD Financial Management Certification Program as part of the job. If you’re selected, you have to get this certification within two years unless you’re already in a position that requires it.
What happens if I don’t get certified in time?
If you don’t become certified within the required timeframe, it could lead to removal from the position or from federal service.
Thank you, Dr. Job. I will review the details.
