You’ll join a collaborative finance team where good ideas are welcomed; people are trusted to own their work, and there’s room to grow into leadership.

• Take a lead role in the annual financial statement audit and work closely with external auditors
• Review general ledger activity, journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting workpapers

• Prepare and review complex accounting schedules and financial analyses
• Support insurance-related audit work and reserve calculations

• Strong audit background; candidates with heavier audit experience are preferred over primarily tax-focused backgrounds
• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to dig into transactions and determine whether the numbers make sense
• CPA strongly preferred

The Right Fit

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• Adaptable and comfortable changing direction as priorities evolve
• Curious enough to investigate the story behind the numbers
• Motivated, hands‑on, and willing to jump into complex problems
• Collaborative and low ego
• Interested in technology, automation, and new tools—including opportunities to leverage AI
• Able to delegate while still maintaining accountability for the final product
• Someone who enjoys teaching others not only what needs to be done, but why it matters.
