Accounts Payable Specialist

Overview

Accounts Payable Specialist Private Single-Family Office | Boston, MA

We are partnering with a well-established, Boston-based single-family office to place an Accounts Payable Specialist on their finance and accounting team. This is a close-knit, high-trust environment that values discretion, precision, and people who take pride in doing things right. The team is small by design, collaborative by nature, and the work they do touches meaningful philanthropic and investment operations.

Reporting to the VP of Finance and Accounting, the Accounts Payable Specialist plays a hands-on role in keeping the financial operations of a multi-entity organization running smoothly. This is the kind of position where the details matter, the relationships matter, and your reliability is felt across the entire team. This is a full-time, exempt position that reports directly to the VP of Finance and Accounting. Travel is minimal at 0–5%. The role operates on a hybrid schedule with a minimum of three days per week in the Boston office, with the expectation of additional in-office time during the onboarding period.
