Insurance Accounting Controller

This high-impact role is designed to complement our finance leadership by focusing on technical accounting, statutory compliance (SAP), internal controls, and strategic alignment. In the early stages, this will be a hands-on position — heavily focused on execution, process-building, and documentation to establish a strong operational foundation. The ideal candidate will combine deep knowledge of GAAP and insurance-specific accounting principles with exceptional communication, follow-through, and cross-functional collaboration. This position offers a clear leadership trajectory as the function matures, making it an excellent opportunity for someone ambitious and growth-minded who’s ready to build before they lead.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Accounting Expertise: Interpret and apply complex accounting standards (for example, ASC 606), ensuring accurate financial reporting and compliance.
• Statutory Accounting (Insurance): Ensure compliance with insurance industry-specific accounting principles and regulatory requirements, including preparation and filing of statutory financial statements.
• Regulatory Compliance: Develop and maintain accounting policies and procedures that comply with GAAP and Statutory Accounting Principles, and other relevant standards.
• Strategic Financial Planning: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to provide financial insights that inform business strategies and decisions.
• Process Leadership and Improvement: Lead the design, documentation, and implementation of accounting process improvements, including system enhancements, automation initiatives, and internal control optimization. Work with cross-functional teams to identify inefficiencies and champion best practices that improve speed, accuracy, and transparency.
• Cross Functional Support and Communication: Take point on project-level coordination with Legal, Compliance, and Operations. Support external audits, regulatory reviews, and walkthroughs by managing documentation, timelines, and stakeholder communication.
• Cash Planning and Capital Strategy: Support the CFO in cash flow forecasting, liquidity planning, and capital sourcing efforts across multiple entities. This includes analyzing short- and long-term cash requirements, assisting with loan and credit facility documentation, and developing tools to monitor financial runway under various growth or stress scenarios.

What We’re Looking For

• 7 years of progressive experience in accounting or compliance roles, ideally within regulated industries like insurance or financial services.
• CPA strongly preferred; strong understanding of both GAAP and SAP is essential.
• Experience preparing for and managing audits, including communication with state insurance departments and external examiners.
• Strong grasp of ASC 606 (revenue recognition) standards.
• Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and collaborate across teams.
• Excellent communication and follow-up skills; this is not optional. You must be someone who owns communication loops and thrives in collaborative environments.
• High comfort level with process documentation, system mapping, and continuous improvement.
• Advanced Excel and familiarity with modern accounting/reporting tools
• A desire to grow into a leadership role, with increasing responsibility for people, systems, and financial strategy.
