• Prepare and file statutory financial statements in accordance with National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) guidelines, including quarterly and annual blanks.
• Calculate and support Risk-Based Capital (RBC) ratios, ensuring compliance with minimum capital requirements and documenting key assumptions.
• Maintain and reconcile statutory accounting records, including premium, claims, and reserve balances.
• Analyze surplus and capital position, identifying trends or risks that could impact RBC levels or regulatory standing.
• Support actuarial and claims teams by validating data used in reserve calculations and ensuring alignment with statutory reporting.
• Coordinate with external auditors and state regulators during audits and financial examinations, providing documentation and support for NAIC filings.
• Prepare and file premium tax filings and state-specific regulatory reports, ensuring accurate allocation of premiums by state and compliance with jurisdictional requirements.
• Assist with development and maintenance of internal controls, accounting procedures, and process improvements.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 7 years of progressive accounting and financial reporting experience, preferably within the insurance, healthcare, or financial services industry.
• Demonstrated expertise in general ledger accounting, account reconciliations, and month-end and year-end close processes.
• Strong skills in financial reporting, variance analysis, budgeting, and forecasting.
• Proficiency with accounting software and ERP systems, along with advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
• Solid knowledge of US GAAP, statutory accounting principles (SAP), NAIC reporting requirements, internal controls, and audit support practices.
• Experience preparing insurance statutory filings, premium tax filings, and regulatory reporting is strongly preferred.
• Understanding of Risk-Based Capital (RBC) calculations and insurance financial solvency requirements preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required; CPA or progress toward CPA preferred.
• Proven ability to interpret financial data, solve problems, and implement process improvements.
• Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
