- 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.
