Job Description
Junior Accountant – Resident Funds Location: Rockville, MD Employment Type: Full-Time
We are seeking a detail-oriented, people-focused Junior Accountant – Resident Funds to oversee and manage resident bank accounts in a highly customer-facing, regulated environment. This role blends accounting precision with daily interaction with residents, requiring a steady smile, patience, and grace.
You will report to the Accounting Manager and work under the oversight of the State of Maryland, ensuring all transactions comply with regulatory requirements. The work is hands-on — from writing checks and preparing paperwork to meeting residents face-to-face during daily “office hours.”
What You’ll Do:
Serve as a fiduciary for resident funds, ensuring compliance with regulations.
Write checks, process withdrawals, and execute deposits for resident accounts.
Meet with residents and families daily to set up accounts, provide information, and process transactions.
Maintain meticulous records, organize paperwork packages, and ensure all required signatures are obtained.
Provide quarterly statements to residents and obtain required signatures.
Assist with the annual Unclaimed Property Report and respond to state audits or surveys.
Keep organized files, maintaining a reliable and accessible paper-based system.
Qualifications
Associate degree in Accounting and 2+ years of relevant experience, or equivalent education/experience.
Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
Comfortable working in a paper-based environment (printing, organizing, filing).
Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Patient, approachable, and professional in daily resident interactions.
Ability to work under regulatory oversight and meet strict deadlines.
Why This Role Is Special: This isn’t just accounting — it’s relationship building. You’ll be the friendly, reliable face residents see every afternoon during “banker’s office hours,” helping them manage their funds with dignity, accuracy, and care.
