Adjunct Professor - Accounting & Finance | MBA & DBA Programs
Brentwood University | 100% Remote | Part-Time | Independent Contractor
Bring your industry experience into the graduate classroom.
Brentwood University is seeking an experienced accounting or finance professional who also has graduate-level teaching experience to join our international adjunct faculty.
We are not looking for a traditional, full-time academic whose experience is primarily classroom-based. We are looking for someone who has built a substantial career in accounting, finance, or financial management and can bring that firsthand expertise into graduate education.
Our MBA and DBA students are working professionals from around the world. They value professors who can connect business theory to the decisions, challenges, and responsibilities professionals encounter in their careers.
Who We're Looking For
Our ideal candidate is a working accounting or finance professional with a doctorate and demonstrated graduate-level teaching experience.
You may be a CFO, financial controller, accounting director, financial consultant, audit professional, or senior finance leader who also teaches MBA or other graduate business courses.
You should be comfortable teaching across several areas of accounting, finance, and business economics, using practical examples drawn from your own professional experience.
Courses May Include
- Financial and Managerial Accounting
- Accounting for Managers and Entrepreneurs
- Financial Management and Corporate Finance
- Financial Analysis and Decision-Making
- Budgeting and Financial Planning
- Entrepreneurial Accounting
- Managerial Economics
- Microeconomics and Macroeconomics
Faculty assignments will depend on qualifications, expertise, and course availability.
What You'll Do
- Teach graduate-level courses within our fully online MBA and DBA programs.
- Deliver established course content and guide students through weekly learning activities.
- Bring practical business cases, professional insights, and real-world financial decision‑making into the learning experience.
- Facilitate meaningful discussions with an international population of working professionals.
- Evaluate assignments and assessments, providing timely, constructive feedback.
- Support student progress through regular communication and academic guidance.
- Collaborate with Brentwood University's academic team to maintain a high-quality learning experience.
Required Qualifications
- Completed doctorate in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Economics, or a closely related discipline.
- At least 3 years of hands‑on professional experience in accounting, finance, auditing, financial management, or a related field, beyond academic teaching.
- At least 2 years of graduate-level teaching experience, preferably in MBA or other graduate business programs.
- Previous experience teaching fully online courses.
- Strong knowledge of accounting principles and the ability to teach across related finance or economics subjects.
- Ability to engage experienced adult learners and connect academic concepts to professional practice.
- Excellent communication, organization, and independent working skills.
Particularly Valuable Experience
- Current or recent employment in a senior accounting or finance role.
- Professional qualifications such as CPA, ACCA, CMA, CIMA, CA, CFA, or equivalent.
- Experience in corporate finance, financial reporting, auditing, consulting, budgeting, or strategic financial management.
- Teaching experience across multiple graduate-level accounting and finance subjects.
- Familiarity with Learning Management Systems (LMS).
- Experience working with international professionals or multicultural learning environments.
Professional industry experience is essential. Candidates whose backgrounds are exclusively academic, without substantial applied accounting or finance experience, are not the primary target for this position.
