    Job Description

    Build your accounting career at an agency that's been getting it right since 1900.
     
    We're a Massachusetts independent insurance agency with 125 years of history and a decidedly modern outlook - voted one of the Best Agencies to Work For by Insurance Journal, a Trusted Choice agency, and Five Star Accredited.
     
    As a Senior Accounting Associate, you'll be a core member of our accounting department, responsible for compiling and reviewing financial information, maintaining accurate records, and managing the essential functions that keep our agency running smoothly. This is a hands-on, full-cycle role. You'll touch cash management, payables and receivables, reconciliations, payroll, and financial statement preparation, giving you visibility into the complete financial picture of the business rather than a narrow slice of it.
     
    You'll work closely with agency leadership, account managers, and vendors, which means your work is visible and your judgment matters. We're a lean team, so you won't be buried three layers down, you'll own your areas, spot the issues before they become problems, and have a direct line to the people who can act on what you find. Insurance accounting has its own rhythms and regulatory considerations; if that's new to you, we'll teach it.
     
    Newly graduated? We want to hear from you. While we'd love to see a few years of accounting experience, we're equally excited to talk with recent college graduates who bring a strong accounting or finance foundation, a sharp eye for detail, and the drive to learn fast. We'll invest in the rest.
     
    What You'll Own
    • Cash management and bank reconciliations
    • Vendor payments, expense reports, and company payables
    • Customer A/R management
    • Internal transactions and data audits
    • Compiling and reviewing financial statements
    • General ledger account reconciliations
    • Payroll functions
    • Processing miscellaneous agreements
    • Other projects that come with being a key part of a growing team
    What You'll Bring
    • 3+ years of accounting experience - or a recent degree in accounting, finance, or a related field paired with internship or coursework that shows you know your way around a ledger
    • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (strong Excel skills are a plus)
    • A strong sense of urgency paired with genuine attention to detail
    • Discretion in handling confidential materials
    • The ability to juggle deadlines and multiple priorities without dropping a ball
    • Self-starter energy
    What We Offer
    • Hybrid schedule option, plus Summer Fridays and extended holiday weekends
    • Comprehensive PTO - paid vacation, holidays, and sick time, plus parental leave
    • Health, dental, and vision insurance, and a 401(k) retirement plan
    • DG University: ongoing training, support for insurance designations, and continuing education
    • Employee-led committees- Giving, Social, Client Experience, & Technology
