The company has expanded steadily since its founding and continues to broaden its footprint while investing in the people who support that growth.

Successful completion of background, drug, and reference checks required!

• Coordinate internal and external audits, including schedules and auditor inquiries
• Partner with cross-functional teams on reserving, premium recognition, and expense allocation

Requirements

• Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance required
• CPA strongly preferred 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Prior statutory accounting & reporting experience within the property & casualty insurance industry required
• Strong command of GAAP, statutory accounting principles, and internal control frameworks
