Massachusetts's accounting and finance employers are fighting for talent in a high-demand, high-cost market. The pressures stacking up right now:• Demographic CPA shortage. A demographic-driven shortage is worsened by the state's rigorous 150-hour licensing requirement.• High cost of living. The cost of living in Greater Boston pushes compensation expectations upward.• Remote work pulls talent out. Remote trends let candidates pursue out-of-state opportunities.• Big-firm competition. Financial services hubs and Big Four firms further strain the pool for controllers, financial analysts, and senior accountants.• Demand outpaces supply. Across these pressures, demand consistently outpaces the available supply of candidates.
Hundreds of pre-vetted controllers, senior accountants, audit managers, and finance leaders in our Massachusetts network, across public accounting, corporate accounting, audit and tax, FP&A, financial reporting, and treasury from Boston, Worcester, and Springfield to Cambridge and Lowell.
