  • Manage the insurance-specific financial reporting process, including but not limited to, loss reserves, premiums, claims, and reinsurance transactions.
  • Assist the Assistant Controller in the preparation of internal and external reports, financial statements, and regulatory filings.
  • Ensure the integrity of financial reporting processes and drive continuous improvement in accounting procedures and controls.
  • Work closely with internal teams to provide financial insights, resolve accounting issues, and maintain accurate records.
  • Review general ledger entries, reconciliations, and financial transactions to ensure compliance with corporate policies and industry regulations.
  • Support the annual audit process and coordinate with external auditors as needed.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 5-7 years of experience in accounting, with a strong background in insurance financial reporting.
  • At least 2 years of experience in a supervisory or management role, overseeing accounting teams.
  • Strong knowledge of US-GAAP and accounting principles, particularly as they relate to the P&C insurance industry.
  • Preferred: CPA designation or in-progress (but not required).
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and manage relationships with key stakeholders.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
  • Proficiency in accounting software and Microsoft Excel; experience with insurance-specific systems is a plus.

Why Join Us?

  • Remote work opportunity with flexibility to balance work and life.
  • Collaborative and dynamic environment where your contributions will make a meaningful impact.
