Lead oversight of accounts payable and accounts receivable activities to support accurate and timely transaction processing.

Perform recurring account reconciliations on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to maintain accuracy across financial records.
Manage assigned month-end close tasks, including journal entries, account analysis, and ledger review.
Prepare and review financial statements throughout the month, quarter, and year in alignment with statutory accounting requirements.
Contribute to regulatory reporting by supporting annual and quarterly filings, related schedules, and management reporting packages.
Partner on initiatives involving unclaimed property compliance, vendor administration, reinsurance billing, and cash application workflows.
Coordinate with auditors, regulators, and internal departments such as claims, underwriting, and actuarial teams to validate financial data and strengthen reporting processes.
Support accounting system and process improvements, including work tied to claims payment system migration and control enhancements.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required.
At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience required.
Prior leadership or management experience in an accounting environment required.
Strong background in month-end close, general ledger activity, and financial reporting.
Experience supporting financial statement audits and maintaining sound internal controls.
Insurance industry experience strongly preferred.
Familiarity with statutory accounting and regulatory reporting is highly preferred.
