Job Description

We are looking for a detail-oriented Staff Accountant to support core accounting operations for an insurance organization in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This position plays an important role in maintaining accurate financial records, reconciling key accounts, and assisting with recurring reporting and close activities. The ideal candidate brings a solid understanding of general ledger accounting, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with minimal supervision.

Responsibilities:
• Record and post recurring and non-routine journal entries each month, including accruals and premium-related accounting activity.
• Match premium accounts receivable transactions to incoming cash on a daily basis and prepare the related accounting adjustments.
• Monitor daily cash activity by completing reconciliations that help confirm accurate cash flow reporting.
• Perform monthly bank account reconciliations and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner.
• Calculate and prepare monthly and quarterly agent commission documentation, including logs and supporting statements.
• Reconcile claims payment balances each month to ensure completeness and accuracy in financial records.
• Prepare premium tax filings for jurisdictions across states and municipalities while maintaining compliance with reporting deadlines.
• Track outstanding checks for unclaimed property purposes, communicate with payees as needed, and complete state-required reporting forms.
• Support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end processes by assisting with financial statements, data reporting requests, audits, and other accounting projects.
• Maintain and review fixed asset and depreciation schedules, and analyze account classifications related to tax reporting.

• At least 1 year of accounting experience, with exposure to journal entries and general ledger activity.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting preferred.

• Working knowledge of general ledger structure, account maintenance, and standard reconciliation practices.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and experience using accounting software in a detail-focused setting.

• Ability to manage several assignments at once, prioritize effectively, and work independently.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills for coordinating with internal teams and external contacts.

• High level of accuracy, attention to detail, and initiative in handling day-to-day accounting responsibilities.
