Controller

We're partnering with a fast-growing prop tech/Insurtech company in New York, NY to hire a Controller for a founding finance leadership role.

This is a rare opportunity to build the finance function from the ground up for a growing insurtech business while also overseeing financial / management accounting and HR operations for an affiliated early-stage insurance entity. Position is mostly remote with a few days a month in midtown NYC office.

What you'll do:

• Own accounting operations across GL, AP/AR, payroll, reconciliations, and monthly close.
• Build budgeting, forecasting, scenario modeling, and board-ready reporting.
• Establish controls, GAAP-aligned policies, audit readiness, and tax/compliance processes.
• Manage insurance licensing, regulatory administration, and premium tax obligations.
• Support payroll, benefits, onboarding/offboarding, and lightweight HR operations.
• Partner with claims teams on payments, recoveries, commissions tracking, and reconciliations.
