Vermont is the largest captive insurance domicile in the United States, so captive insurance accounting and audit work is a real niche despite the small population. Healthcare, higher education, and specialty food production make up most of the rest.

Major hiring areas in the state include Burlington, Montpelier, Rutland. Because these roles are remote, you are not limited to employers headquartered nearby: a Vermont resident can work for a company in any state, which is what makes the remote market worth watching.

Vermont taxes wage income on a graduated scale.

If you live in Vermont and work for an employer based elsewhere, you generally owe Vermont income tax on those earnings, and your employer may need to register for withholding in the state. A tax professional can confirm how this applies to you.
