About the Staff Accountant Role at Robert Half

Robert Half is proud to partner with a leading regulated nonprofit financial institution in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, to find a meticulous Staff Accountant. This full-time position is pivotal in upholding the highest standards of financial accuracy, compliance, and reporting within the credit union sector. Nestled in Worcester County, our client offers a dynamic environment where precision meets purpose, serving the community while navigating complex regulatory landscapes. As a Staff Accountant, you'll dive into the heart of financial operations, ensuring every ledger balances and every report complies with GAAP and federal guidelines. If you're a detail-oriented professional with a passion for nonprofit finance and banking regulations, this role provides an exceptional opportunity to advance your career with Robert Half's support.

Shrewsbury, MA, combines suburban charm with proximity to Boston's vibrant job market, making it ideal for accountants seeking work-life balance. With a salary around $65,000, this position offers competitive compensation for the region's market rate, plus robust benefits typical of Robert Half placements.

Why This Role Stands Out

In a nonprofit credit union setting, your work directly impacts community financial health.

• Prepare comprehensive daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports, strictly adhering to GAAP and credit union regulatory standards.
• Assist in quarterly Call Report filings, ensuring 100% compliance with industry benchmarks.
• Execute general ledger postings and reconciliations to maintain impeccable financial records.
• Monitor liquidity positions and manage borrowing capacities with key partners, including the Federal Reserve Bank.
• Handle accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) processes efficiently using advanced Oracle systems.
• Partner with external advisory firms during month-end closings, managing fixed assets, investments, and critical regulatory submissions.
• Play a key role in annual budget development and forward-looking forecasting efforts.
• Uphold federal, state, and local compliance in the banking sector, mitigating risks proactively.
• Strengthen internal control frameworks to protect organizational assets effectively.
• Identify and implement system improvements, driving workflow automation for enhanced efficiency.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 2-5 years of hands-on experience in accounting, preferably within nonprofits, credit unions, or regulated financial entities.
