There is no doubt in my mind that there is a gap on what is needed and the availability and skill level of Town Accountants in Massachusetts. The same holds true for Treasurer/Collectors and Assessors as well. These are niche professions in the larger scope of the economy but vital to the financial stability and administration of our local governments.
Any person who is looking to start a career, who has an interest in local government and finance, should strongly consider this career path because the opportunities are ample.
