Accounting: Making Sure Publix Gets Its Due Business Analysis & Reporting: Our Financial Analysts Tax & Treasury: Our Investment Group Our Positions To Apply

We focus on the numbers.

Finance is composed of three major departments: Accounting, Tax & Treasury, and Business Analysis & Reporting.

Accounting: Making Sure Publix Gets Its Due

Publix couldn't deliver premier customer service in our stores without support from the Accounting department. How do these number crunchers play such a vital role? They ensure accurate and prompt payment to Publix's suppliers. Without that diligence, our store shelves wouldn't be continually stocked with the items our customers need and want.

In 2006, three groups in Accounting—Expense Payables, Merchandise Payables, and DSD Payables —processed a combined $17.8 billion worth of invoices.

Other groups in Accounting include:

Accounts Receivable, which is responsible for collecting all money owed to Publix for items such as:

• redeemed coupons
• corporate gift card sales
• returned checks
• third party insurance
• supplier rebates, and
• store charge accounts.

During the holiday season, the elves in Accounting (otherwise known as our Gift Card Teams) work long hours to process all of the gift cards customers purchase as gifts.

EFT Accounting and Store Bank Auditing ensure that Publix receives prompt and accurate credit for all electronic sales via debit and credit cards, sales by cash and check, and ATM transactions generated at our stores.

Retail Accounting processes all data (expenses, income and sales) for each store and produces a profit and loss statement weekly for each Publix store location. They also prepare the information for quarterly retail bonuses to be paid to eligible store associates.

Corporate Travel makes all of the hotel, airline, and rental car reservations for associates who travel for business. Then they ensure Publix is billed correctly by processing the invoices relating to these accommodations.

Business Analysis & Reporting: Our Financial Analysts

Our associates make the difference between good business decisions and great business decisions. They provide the edge we need to analyze complex issues and help provide the systems, reporting, and consulting required by our growing company.

• provide accurate, timely, and useful information in a cost-effective manner
• establish and maintain positive relationships and trust with all levels of Publix associates
• guide our business areas toward sound business decisions
