The Opportunity
If youre the type of accountant who enjoys finding what others miss thrives on clean reconciliations and takes pride in bulletproof audit trails - this is your lane.
The Transition House Inc. is bringing in a specialized Trust Accountant to take ownership of fiduciary account reconciliations tied to Department of Corrections (DOC) compliance. This is high-stakes detail-driven work where accuracy isnt optional - its mission-critical.
You wont be micromanaged. You will be trusted to deliver.
What Youll Own
This is not clerical accounting. This is forensic-level reconciliation work:
- Execute monthly three-way reconciliations (Bank GL subledger) with zero tolerance for variance
- Work within SecurManage to align trust activity with trial balances
- Investigate discrepancies like a pro - document findings recommend fixes close the loop
- Analyze trust transactions (draws obligations resident accounts etc.) with a compliance lens
- Build audit-ready workpapers that stand up to regulatory scrutiny
- Handle unclaimed funds reconciliation and state reporting requirements
- Communicate risks gaps and progress clearly - no surprises
What Success Looks Like
- Reconciliations completed on time every cycle
- Documentation that an auditor can pick up and trust immediately
- Discrepancies identified early - and resolved or escalated with clarity
- A finance team that can rely on your work without second-guessing
Who This Is For
Youre not just good with numbers - youre obsessive about accuracy.
You likely have:
- Proven experience in trust or fiduciary accounting
- Deep expertise in three-way reconciliations
- Confidence working across multiple ledgers and trial balances
- The ability to work independently without hand-holding
You bring:
- Advanced Excel skills
- Strong GAAP knowledge (especially in fiduciary environments)
- A sharp eye for inconsistencies others overlook
Bonus Points If You Have
- Experience in DOC or regulated environments
- Familiarity with SecurManage
- Knowledge of unclaimed property laws
- A track record of untangling complex reconciliation issues
- Accounting degree or equivalent experience
Work Style & Environment
- Fully independent contractor role - you manage your workflow
- Collaborative when needed autonomous by design
- Access to systems and support to get the job done right
Additional Requirements
- Ability to pass background screening if system access requires it
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a high-trust high-skill engagement where your expertise directly impacts compliance financial integrity and organizational accountability.
If youre tired of roles where your attention to detail is underutilized - this is where it pays off.
