About Players Health


At Players Health, we are on a mission to create the safest and most accessible environments for athletes to play the sports they love. This is not only our mission, but also our promise to sports.

We operate as both a Managing General Agent (MGA) and an insurance brokerage - a dual-model that creates a uniquely complex and fast-moving production accounting environment.

• Go Beyond: We're not satisfied with just "good enough" - we go above and beyond to achieve awesome results that impress and inspire.
• Operate like Owners: We believe in operational excellence. We take ownership of our work and approach every task with a sense of pride, responsibility, and commitment to excellence. We don't just rent our roles - we own them and strive to make a lasting impact.
• Virtue First: From the big decisions to the small details; honesty, integrity, and transparency are the bedrock of our culture and the foundation for everything we do.
• Service: We live to serve others with humility, empathy, and kindness. We put our customers, colleagues and community first, and always strive to exceed their expectations with a smile.

About the Role


The Senior Accountant II is a senior individual contributor on a small, high-ownership finance team at a scaling insurance technology company. This role is the functional expert for all production accounting across our MGA and brokerage operations - owning the accuracy and integrity of premium, commission, and carrier settlement accounting from end-to-end.

You'll bring deep insurance accounting expertise and apply it in an environment where the processes, systems and controls are still being shaped.

You'll operate both hands-on and strategically, partnering closely with underwriting, operations, HR, and other departments.

The ideal candidate has spent meaningful time in MGA, wholesale brokerage, or carrier accounting environments, understand the nuances of bordereaux reporting, trust accounting, and carrier settlements, and brings the mindset of a builder - someone who sees a manual process as an opportunity, not just a task. The Senior Accountant II has a compensation range of $100,000 - $130,000, depending on skills and experience.

Players Health is a remote-first organization. This role has a preference for candidates located in the Minneapolis, MN area, as some in-person collaboration will be expected. Periodic travel may also be required for team events and development.

You will join an organization going through significant growth as well as digital transformation.We instill a mindset of ownership and accountability with allteam members,buildinga "playbook" for best practices - defining expectations to meet the vision and strategy for growth.
