Senior Accounting Manager

I'm working exclusively with a growing, privately held insurance business in Northern Virginia that is looking to appoint a Senior Accounting Manager into a newly created position. This is a key hire within a close-knit finance team, working directly alongside the Controller and taking ownership of day-to-day accounting operations, financial reporting and team oversight. The role will suit someone looking to step into a genuine number two position, with the opportunity to influence processes, develop the team and provide broader leadership across the finance function.

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership or supervisory responsibility.
• Strong technical accounting, financial reporting and month-end close experience.
• Insurance industry experience, ideally within a brokerage or agency environment.
• Exposure to commission accounting, carrier reconciliations and insurance revenue recognition would be advantageous.
• Public accounting and audit experience, alongside a CPA, would be well received. Although those coming directly from Insurance, would also be considered strong candidates.

• Newly created senior leadership position with clear scope to make an impact.
• Direct partnership with the Controller and responsibility for providing cover in their absence.
• Opportunity to improve processes, strengthen controls and help shape the accounting function.
• Hybrid working, typically 2 days per week in the office.

I'm keen to connect with experienced insurance accounting professionals across the DMV who are looking for that next step in their career.
