Senior Accountant

Why Join Stand

At Stand, you'll help build a new class of global property protection. We use advanced physics and AI to model catastrophic risk at the asset level, then automate underwriting and mitigation before loss occurs. Insurance is simply the current delivery mechanism. The real product is a scalable risk engine, our Stand World Model.

We stay when traditional insurers exit. We model what others approximate. And we build systems that change outcomes, not just prices.

The property insurance industry is built to price loss after it happens. It relies on coarse proxies, backward-looking data, and manual processes, then accepts damage as unavoidable.

Stand takes a different approach. We simulate how real-world catastrophes affect individual properties, translate that into actionable decisions, and automate the business around it. The result is a platform that can underwrite what others can't and operate with far less friction.

Role Summary

Stand is looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to own the day-to-day accounting execution that keeps our financial records accurate, reconciled, documented, and ready for close across the parent company, captive, and reciprocal.

• Support insurance accounting activities, including premium, claims, loss, LAE, policy billing and servicing, and reinsurance entries and schedules.
• Tie accounting records to underwriting, claims, and operational source data, and document variances with clear ownership and next steps.
• Support AP processing, payment runs, vendor documentation, expense coding review, recurring accrual schedules, and approval compliance.
• Prepare support for audit, CPA, statutory, regulatory, captive reinsurance, management, investor, and board reporting requests, while building lightweight templates and checklists that make the close process more repeatable.
