ACCOUNTANT MANAGER II

Maryland’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program makes sure all workers in Maryland have paid time off for medical and family reasons. FAMLI is a social insurance system covering 2.8 million workers and 180,000 employers, delivered as a digitally native, public-facing service. We’re in the early stages of building something as big and as far-reaching as unemployment insurance or a new health department. We know that delivering services primarily through a website, over the Internet, is a new way of doing business in government.

The Financial Services Directorate is responsible for establishing and maintaining an efficient financial system, including internal controls and financial procedures, for the FAMLI Division. The Financial Services Directorate safeguards FAMLI funds and other assets, manages FAMLI contributions and benefits payouts, develops financial reports, prepares budgets and projections, and designs and conducts internal audits, as well as responding to external financial audits.

The Accounts Receivable Manager plays a pivotal role within the Financial Services Directorate and the overall FAMLI Division. The Manager will oversee the Division’s premium contributions, including daily deposits and billing interest and penalties for delinquent payments, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in fiscal records. The Accounts Receivable Manager will also play an integral part in the year-end closing processes and handle special assignments as required. This position requires the financial acumen to provide insightful recommendations to various stakeholders and contribute to the overall fiscal health and operational success of FAMLI. If you are a proactive financial professional with a passion for public service, this is the job for you!
