What You'll Do:
- Lead all technical accounting activities under U.S. GAAP and insurance-industry statutory reporting.

- Provide technical accounting guidance on new business arrangements, complex transactions, and evolving operations.
- Develop, implement, and maintain company-wide accounting policies that align with current standards and industry best practices.
- Partner closely with cross-functional teams—including Finance, Tax, FP&A, and external auditors—to support technical reviews, new transactions, and special projects.
- Review financial disclosures within 10-K and 10-Q filings; this role includes exposure to SEC reporting but is not solely focused on SEC reporting.
- Monitor and implement new accounting pronouncements relevant to the insurance and financial services industry.
- Support strategic initiatives requiring technical accounting insights and process improvements.
What We're Looking For:
- Progressive technical accounting career with 6+ years of experience, including a few years in a management or review role.
- CPA required; strong command of U.S. GAAP and comfort working with both statutory and GAAP frameworks.
- Deep, hands-on experience researching technical issues, writing memos, and working through complex transactions.
- Background in the insurance or broader financial services industry strongly preferred.
- Candidates directly coming from public accounting Big 4 or Top 20 public accounting firms with a specialization in insurance clients are encouraged to apply!
- Ability to collaborate cross-functionally, influence decision-making, and operate in a fast-moving, highly technical environment.
Ideal Culture Fit:
Someone who thrives in the details, enjoys hands-on analysis, and can toggle seamlessly between building accounting policies, researching standards, supporting new business initiatives, and guiding stakeholders through complex concepts. This person is energized by technical depth—not just oversight—and wants a role that values intellectual curiosity, problem solving, and impact!
