Also I will add, doing a job description for a company at least in the US is a very serious issue. First all jobs are suppose to have one for years now, so if this is a larger company one will exist at some level of corporate office. The issue are in the US, is that the job descritpion binds you to legal obligations, for example if a employhee gets disabled, and asks for a modification on their job, that modification is to allow them to do all the MAJOR funtions listed in their job discription, so if they can do that, an employor can be forced to keep that employee working even if those are not the realistic goals.

You need to list what duties are expected, book keeping, travel, standing, sitting and for how long, if climbing stairs are required, do they have to lift, if so how many pounds. If they have to have a masters degree or be a CPA that needs to be listed.

We are not going to do this for you, start by listing what does this person do, what are the min requirements to hire a new person. Often ask the person doing this job to even list what they think are their main duties and than what other duties do they do. ** not that you have to use everything they list but it is a start.

I also have a job analysis sheet we fill out for auditing, changing and reviewing job descriptions. It is very helpful in determining the scope of responsibility and the grade within which the job falls. Let me know if it would help.

Forms don't look so well imported in here, but I think it will give you an idea of what is needed.

Let me know if more information is needed, I do not have one that would fit what you need, but if I had the job information I could help you write one.
