• Prepare statutory financial statements under Statutory Accounting Principles.

• Handle claims accounting activity.
• Reconcile accounts and maintain audit-ready supporting workpapers.
• Act as a day-to-day accounting contact for client finance teams.

• Work with technology and product teams to automate recurring accounting workflows.

Must-Haves

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• 3–7 years of accounting or audit and assurance experience.
• Insurance accounting or insurance audit and assurance experience.
• Working knowledge of statutory accounting (STAT/SAP) and insurance regulatory reporting, including NAIC.
• Hands-on month-end and quarter-end close experience.
• Comfort communicating directly with client finance teams.
• Proficiency with accounting systems and genuine interest in automating manual processes.
