Summary:

Our client is a venture-backed company in the captive insurance market and they are investing heavily in team growth. This role handles statutory close, regulatory reporting, and client-facing accounting support across a portfolio of insurance entities. The client will take a strong auditor making a first move out of public accounting, an insurance accountant already in the seat or a accountant from a related field eager to learn.

Why It's Worth Your Time

• Get in early at a funded, high-growth company in a market that is expanding fast.
• Real technical depth from day one: statutory accounting, captive structures, and insurance regulatory reporting.
• Equity participation as a meaningful component of total compensation.
• Work directly with client finance teams instead of sitting behind a close checklist.
• Partner with technology and product teams to automate accounting work rather than grind through it manually.
• Join an accounting function early enough to influence how it runs as the company scales.

What You'll Own

• Execute month-end and quarter-end close across a portfolio of insurance entities.
• Prepare statutory financial statements under Statutory Accounting Principles.
• Prepare NAIC and state insurance regulatory filings.
• Handle claims accounting activity.
• Reconcile accounts and maintain audit-ready supporting workpapers.
• Act as a day-to-day accounting contact for client finance teams.
• Support the external audit and turn around auditor requests.
• Spot what is slow, manual, or breaking and raise it before it becomes a problem.
• 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, insurance audit and assurance experience, fund accounting, or related field.
• Working knowledge or eagerness to learn 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.

Nice to Have

• CPA or active CPA candidate.
• Captive insurance or alternative risk accounting experience.
• Experience preparing NAIC annual statements.
• Prior experience at an early-stage or high-growth company.
