Senior Revenue Auditor

Compensation plans are based on a multi-step progression system. The pay range reflects the entry level and maximum salary potential in the assigned pay grade.

**A starting salary may be negotiated and will be commensurate with education, training and experience in alignment with pay administration policies and MCCP Board Rules & Regulations**

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to examine the more complex audit cases.  The Senior Revenue Auditor performs professional audits of accounting books and records of business firms to enforce compliance with revenue laws and rules, and determines tax liability resulting from the audits.  The work of the Auditor requires considerable tact in meeting the public and involves the interpretation of laws and regulations relating to the administration and enforcement of tax provisions. They must exercise independent judgment and initiative in conducting complex field audits of various industries. They interact with the public, attorneys, accountants, and other professionals, as well as, fellow auditors, revenue staff, and management. Work methods are established in accordance with tax laws and division requirements. Auditors employed by the Montgomery County Commission predominantly conduct audits for all county taxes levied or authorized by Montgomery County. Auditors employed by the City of Montgomery audit for city sales and business taxes and city business licenses. At times, auditors may participate in coordinated or joint audits with auditors working with other taxing jurisdictions.  The difference in the Senior Revenue Auditor and the Revenue Auditor is that the Senior position will be assigned the most complex cases.  Additionally, the Senior Auditor will train new auditors and assist out in the field with moderately complex cases assigned to the Revenue Auditor.  The Senior Revenue Auditor reports to the Assistant Revenue Manager (county).

Bachelor’s degree in accounting, business administration, public administration, or a closely related field and two (2) years of revenue auditing experience. Must have earned the designation of Certified Revenue Examiner (CRE) and must maintain this certification.
