Accountant - University / College Setting | Boston, MA | Direct Hire

If you've been looking for an accounting role inside a university or college environment -- where the work is substantive, the mission feels meaningful, and the institutional culture runs deep -- ProPivotal wants to connect with you.

We place candidates directly into permanent roles at educational institutions in and around Boston. When you apply here, you're building a relationship with a team that moves fast, communicates clearly, and puts you in front of the right opportunity without the runaround.

  • Work that uses your full skill set. University accounting isn't just data entry. Think fund accounting, grant tracking, budget analysis, financial reporting, and compliance -- work that keeps a large, complex organization running.
  • A setting that draws people in. Colleges and universities attract professionals who want their work to matter. The institutional environment is structured, the colleagues are engaged, and the accounting function sits at the center of real operational decisions.
  • Boston's academic corridor. Greater Boston is one of the most concentrated higher-education markets in the country. If this is the setting you want, this is the city to be in.
  • Transparent pay. Compensation listed above -- no guessing, no negotiating in the dark.
  • Direct hire from day one. No temp period. The employer brings you on directly into a permanent role.

What we're looking for:

  • A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • Hands-on accounting experience -- general ledger, reconciliations, financial reporting, or similar
  • Comfort working within structured, compliance-conscious environments; prior experience in higher education or a similarly complex institution is a plus
