What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Accountant position at Distinct | North America?
Senior Accountant | CAAS / Advisory | Dartmouth, MA (Hybrid)
This is a Senior Accountant role for someone who enjoys accounting, likes working with clients, and wants to build toward Manager without being buried in tax returns.
The firm is looking for a Senior, ideally one to two years from Manager, who wants broader exposure across accounting, advisory, and light tax, rather than a narrow compliance-only role.
You'll be working with a variety of small businesses so you'll need expeirence working at a fast pace. Your work will be varied and intersting and you will be given the tools and support to grow and develop. You'll also have regular client interaction and a clear growth path.
The role
You will sit in the CAAS function and work closely with clients on the accounting side of their business.
Day to day, that includes:
• Month-end and ongoing accounting support
• Financial analysis, forecasting, and budgeting
• Management reporting and dashboards
• Helping clients use their financials to make better decisions
• Partnering with tax internally, without owning tax preparation
Tax knowledge matters, but this is not a tax-heavy role. You need to understand how tax fits into the picture, not spend busy season churning through returns.
Hours and working style
• Hybrid role with at least 3 days per week in the Dartmouth office
• Busy periods can reach around 55 hours, but this is not a tax-driven firm
• Work is largely month-to-month, not seasonal
• No “easy summers, brutal winters” model
Who this suits
• CPA-qualified Senior Accountant (Not essential)
• Strong accounting background
• Comfortable working directly with clients
• Interested in advisory-style work
• Wants to grow into a Manager role over time
• Looking for stability and a firm that develops people properly
5–10% bonus, tied to firm performance
Full benefits including retirement match and healthcare
If you want a Senior role that is accounting-led, client-facing, and actually develops you, this is worth a conversation.
