Director, Statutory Accounting & Reporting - Life & Annuities Industry - 100% Remote

This respected player in the insurance industry is searching for a highly technical and technologically savvy accounting leader with expertise in the life & annuities industry, to step onto their team in a key role.  Almost every member of this company’s core accounting leadership team has Big 4 roots and this is an excellent opportunity to join a company filled with strong performers who enjoy collaborating with each other.  This position is open due to the retirement of a respected leader who has been with this company for many years so this is an excellent opportunity to step into an important role as the company is on the cusp of several major initiatives.

 

  • Lead this privately held company’s accounting & reporting team, an excellent team full of intelligent, friendly, driven professionals
  • Develop relationships with business partners outside of accounting including actuarial, claims, risk management and operations and explain technical accounting treatment to non-accountants in an understandable, approachable way
  • Liaise with operational accounting, financial planning & analysis and the tax department as you are one of the company’s key technical leaders for statutory accounting issues
  • Take on a key role as this company embarks on a game-changing technology process improvement initiative that will impact this company for decades into the future

 

Our client takes pride in paying associates well, offering excellent work-life balance / flexibility and a stable environment.  Join a company that has an intense focus on community involvement where you will have time each month to do volunteer work or give back to the community.  Because this is a highly technical role that will play a key role in a significant technology initiative, our client is searching nationally for a “home run” hire and is willing to allow this leader to work remotely forever in exchange for helping them get through this critical initiative.

    Austin spends 100% his time helping leaders hire high quality individuals well matched for success and happiness. Helping a leader hire a high performing individual makes a very positive impact for the leader, the team of co-workers, and the person we placed!  Austin shared: “It is incredibly rewarding to call the person we placed 6, 9, and 12 months later to hear they are having a lot of success, proud of their contribution to the company, and hearing they are having fun and truly happy in the position, company, and culture we helped them identify.”
