Accounting Practice: How to Become an Excellent Cashier

Everyone who works in accounting knows that to do accounting work well, you must start from the very basics, that is, start as a cashier. I have been working as a cashier for more than three years since graduation. From a job with only books, A cashier with little knowledge and lack of practical experience has gradually grown into an experienced accountant. Now I will write down my work experience in the past three years to commemorate these three years of work.

1. First of all, we must establish confidence, be careful, and stay calm. Don't be anxious at the beginning when faced with operations that are different from those in the textbook. You will sweat non-stop while looking at a room full of people. You will panic in your heart and hope that the work will be finished quickly and people will leave quickly. When I first started working, I couldn't hold my breath and was always in a hurry. When I reviewed the original voucher, the amount I reviewed was always different from the amount on the original voucher. In those days, I had a headache just looking at the original vouchers, especially those with a lot of attachments, such as car toll bills. The amount printed on the invoice was not clear, and the amount was always checked incorrectly.

When filling out the check (we are a branch, the group company has an internal bank, the payment must be made through the internal bank, we use the payment authorization letter and internal transfer check uniformly printed by the group company) , and even made a lot of jokes. At the beginning, I was used to the payment unit on the left and the payee on the right in the payment authorization form. However, when filling in the internal transfer check, I filled it out in the same way as the payment authorization form without looking carefully. Of course, the internal bank would not process it and would return it. Filling it out again made me feel embarrassed, the customer was unhappy, and the efficiency was very low. I blamed myself very much.

Sometimes, when filling in the power of attorney, I am anxious and miss some words. Although I ask the customer to check carefully before signing every time, the customer does not check carefully at all and only signs. The bank Found and returned. Sometimes, when filling in capital letters, a meta character or a zero character is missing. Clients often come back for replacement. During those days, whenever I saw a client coming back, my heart would tingle. I would have doubts about my ability to work. I kept telling myself to stay calm. I am not in a hurry when others are in a hurry. What's the point? The sky is falling, and there is a tall person holding it up, so you must be careful. As time goes by, my temper is gone, I can calm down, I can do whatever I need to do, and my work efficiency has become higher. Work becomes smoother and I feel more energetic about my work.

2. Use your brain more. When you encounter new business or difficult problems, you must think carefully before making a decision. If you really can't handle it yourself, then ask others for advice. If others tell you how to do it, you still have to think carefully and do the business better. . We should sum up more experiences. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Some veteran accountants who have been working for many years have made mistakes, let alone novices. Only by making mistakes can you make progress and learn. But you can’t make the same mistake over and over again. If you have any problems, report them to your leaders in a timely manner. You should also report important business matters to your leaders. Don’t wait until problems arise before you report them. It will be too late. Learn more from others and be humble!

3. Cashiers must manage funds according to the bank's operating methods. For example, when making a payment, you must first check the bank journal to see if the bank deposit is enough. If it is enough, pay it; if it is not, do not pay it; after making a payment, pay the account in time and settle the balance. If you know what you are doing, you will not write a blank check. When I first started working, I always wrote bad checks and was often scolded by my boss. Now I manage the funds according to the bank's management model, and with the help of computerized accounting, I enter the voucher in time for each business and settle the balance. I know what I am doing, so I will not write a bad check.

4. In terms of the management of bills receivable, for bank acceptance bills received, a bill receivable review book should be established, registered in a timely manner and verified and inquired at the bank to avoid the occurrence of cloned bills and ensure The safety of funds. Regularly conduct cash inventory and reconcile with the bank. If there are any problems, find out the reasons as soon as possible and make timely adjustments to ensure that the accounts are consistent with the actual situation.

5. You must have your own principles when doing work and handle business in accordance with the law. When reviewing original vouchers, the original vouchers must be reviewed strictly against accounting regulations, and illegal bills must not be reimbursed. This may offend some people, but it effectively protects the interests of the company. I offended many people because I adhered too much to my principles at work, but I did a good job and I felt clear in my heart. I believe they would understand me.

6. Study hard and be brave in innovation.

Since the implementation of the new "Accounting Law", many of the knowledge we were familiar with in the past have now become obsolete, and the working methods we were accustomed to in the past have now become inapplicable. Facing the development of the new situation, cashiers must continue to strengthen the learning of new business, Enrich yourself with new knowledge, improve your overall quality, and improve your ability to control office automation tools. Especially in preparing cash flow statements and monetary funds income and expenditure statements, you must be able to skillfully use the characteristics of Excel spreadsheets and set up check relationships, Let the computer automatically calculate various required numbers, which can save a lot of time, free you from complicated manual calculations, and greatly improve work efficiency.

7. Be honest and honest, and constantly improve your professional ethics. Cashiering is a special profession. It is exposed to large amounts of money all day long. Thousands of banknotes can really be said to be a fortune. Without good professional ethics, it is difficult to successfully pass the "money test". Compared with other accounting personnel, cashiers should comply more strictly.

Integrity and integrity are the foundation of a cashier’s career and the primary aspect of a cashier’s professional ethics. We often see reports in newspapers and magazines that the cashier of a certain unit took advantage of his position to commit corruption, cheat, steal, and misappropriate public funds. In the end, he harmed both the collective and himself. One of my teachers once said that if there is one penny less and the cashier can make up for it, but if there is one penny more and the cashier takes it, it is corruption. Although it sounds a bit serious, if you think about it carefully, it is actually like this. If you get one point today, can it guarantee that you will not get one hundred or eleven thousand tomorrow? Therefore, cashiers must have good professional ethics. Integrity and integrity.

I saw on the Internet: Cashiers no longer have to touch cash. Online financial rooms have appeared in our country. At present, more than 50 companies in Xiamen, including Xiamen Airlines, Lenovo Mobile, ABB, and Airport Group, have opened corporate "online banking financial rooms". These units have basically realized petty reserves and canceled cash advances. After using the "online financial room" , the cashier can complete cash payments to individual employees with just a click of the mouse. In addition, the unit can simultaneously pay wages and other expenses to employee accounts opened in different regions and different banks through the "Online Financial Room". Tellers no longer have to touch cash.

In addition to the "Online Financial Room", ICBC also launched a financial transfer POS. Cashiers can realize transfers between the unit and employee bank cards by swiping their cards on a small terminal; employee official activities (purchase Air tickets, hotel room payments, entertainment, item purchases, etc.) can be paid directly using the credit card credit limit. When reimbursement is made, the unit will transfer the money to the employee card through financial transfer POS to repay the prepaid funds from the bank.

I hope it can be promoted nationwide as soon as possible. Cashiers will have fewer risks and workload, which can improve work efficiency and have more time for financial analysis, management and supervision.

I am still working as a cashier. I really want to change my position, but my boss won’t let me. I have to continue working. I want to lay a solid foundation. I will work harder in the future. Do a better job as a cashier. Of course I am very confident!
