Staff Accountant

About the role

As a core member of our accounting department, you'll be responsible for compiling and reviewing financial information, maintaining accurate records, and managing the essential functions that keep our agency running smoothly. This is a hands-on, full-cycle role with visibility into the complete financial picture of the business. You'll work closely with agency leadership, account managers, and vendors, owning your areas and having a direct line to the people who can act on your findings.

Insurance accounting has its own rhythms and regulatory considerations; if that's new to you, we'll teach it. We're equally excited to talk with recent college graduates who bring a strong accounting or finance foundation, a sharp eye for detail, and the drive to learn fast.
