How do I get an accountant job in Boston?
Focus your search on Boston's Financial District and Seaport District, where financial services firms, consulting practices, and life sciences companies concentrate most of their accounting hiring. Healthcare systems and universities in the Longwood Medical Area and Cambridge also hire steadily. Candidates with experience in fund accounting, cost accounting for biotech, or grant accounting for nonprofits have a clear edge in this market over generalist applicants.
