  • Translate complex accounting and financial topics into clear, practical, and engaging content for business owners, executives, and other decision-makers.
  • Collaborate with firm leadership and subject matter experts to identify timely topics, develop original perspectives, and maintain a consistent content pipeline.
  • Repurpose existing expertise and materials into articles, newsletters, website content, webinar presentations, and social media posts.

Marketing Strategy & Execution

  • Recommend practical, cost-effective marketing initiatives aligned with the firm's growth objectives.
  • Develop a focused marketing calendar and prioritize activities that deliver the greatest impact within the available hours.
  • Monitor engagement and performance metrics, assess results, and recommend improvements.
  • Maintain consistent branding, messaging, and professional standards across marketing channels.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 10+ years of marketing experience, preferably within a professional services firm such as an accounting firm, financial advisory firm, consulting firm, law firm, or similar organization.
  • Significant hands-on experience developing and executing LinkedIn marketing campaigns and content strategies.
  • Demonstrated experience developing webinars and serving as a presenter, moderator, or facilitator.
  • Proven ability to create thought leadership content, including articles, industry commentary, and educational marketing materials.
  • Excellent writing, editing, presentation, and communication skills.
  • Experience tailoring content and messaging to multiple industries and distinct target audiences.
  • Ability to translate technical, financial, and business concepts into accessible, compelling content.
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to work independently, prioritize competing needs, and deliver high-quality work with limited oversight.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Existing knowledge of the Boston business community and regional professional networks.
  • Experience supporting business development through content marketing, referral relationships, and professional networking.
  • Ability to develop marketing materials that establish credibility, build trust, and generate qualified business opportunities.

Work Arrangement & Time Commitment

  • Flexible, part-time engagement of 0–10 hours per week, based on the firm's needs and mutually agreed priorities.
  • Work may be performed remotely, with occasional in-person meetings in the Boston area as needed.
  • Flexible scheduling with an emphasis on initiative, responsiveness, quality, and measurable results.
  • The successful candidate will work directly with firm leadership to identify priorities and deliver targeted marketing initiatives efficiently.

What Success Looks Like

The successful candidate will help the firm build a stronger and more consistent market presence, increase engagement with prospective clients and referral sources, establish a recognizable voice in the industries it serves, and create valuable content that supports business development.

We are seeking a strategic yet hands-on marketing professional who can bring experience, sound judgment, and creativity to a small firm without the time commitment or overhead of a full-time marketing hire.
