About the Position

Are you enthusiastic about helping others? Do you want to serve your community and make an impact by supporting vulnerable populations? Consider applying for our Financial Fiduciary position, where you will have the opportunity to make a difference every day in Maricopa County!

As the Financial Fiduciary, you will be protecting vulnerable adults from financial fraud and use your skills in taxes and accounting for the greater good. You will work closely with the assigned field fiduciaries regarding the finances, assets, and taxes of Wards, Protected Persons, and Estates.

**Pre-licensed Fiduciaries work under the supervision of a licensed Fiduciary, or designated principal, to gain knowledge and expertise during the pre-licensing period. This supervision allows pre-licensed Fiduciaries to increase responsibilities over time and fosters the necessary professional development needed to meet licensure eligibility requirements.

** Successful applicants not currently holding an Arizona Fiduciary License will be compensated at a salary rate equivalent to 97% of the rate determined to be appropriate based on the applicant’s experience. A 3% increase will be awarded once licensure has been successfully obtained.
