Description
SENIOR ACCOUNTANT
Our client, a well-established private Christian college north of Boston, is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its growing finance team.
This position is much more than a traditional general accounting role. The Senior Accountant will be heavily involved in endowment and investment accounting, grant accounting, audits, regulatory reporting, financial analysis, and supporting the institution's annual Form 990 process. You'll work closely with senior finance leadership while helping support a major Workday implementation that is transforming how the college operates.
We're looking for a strong accountant who enjoys technical accounting, understands GAAP, and is excited by the opportunity to contribute to an organization with a meaningful mission and long-term impact.
Why take this job?
• Rare opportunity to combine technical accounting with meaningful mission-driven work.
• Join a Christian college with exceptional employee retention where many employees stay until retirement.
• Work directly with leadership and gain exposure to endowments, investments, grants, audits, and regulatory reporting.
• Be part of a major Workday implementation and finance modernization initiative.
• 37.5-hour work week with flexibility around family and life commitments.
• Strong PTO package, Christmas shutdown, flex days, and outstanding work-life balance.
• Beautiful campus and collaborative culture built around faith, purpose, and community.
Compensation: $80,000-$90,000+
