With nearly 700 professionals and brands including Intercare, Inter Med, George Hills, and AS&G Claims Administration, we are a people-focused, operations-driven organization that prioritizes reasonable caseloads, strong training, collaborative teams, and expert support.

We invest in tools and workflows that reduce friction—not increase volume—and create real career paths for professionals who want to grow into leadership. At Avon Risk, you are part of a team that values good judgment, curiosity, and accountability, and gives you the support to succeed.

The Accounting Manager is a key leadership role within Avon Risk's corporate accounting and finance function, supporting a rapidly growing workers' compensation and liability third-party administrator (TPA). This role owns meaningful areas of the multi-entity month-end close, the general ledger, banking and disbursement controls, expense and vendor processing, and financial reporting. The Accounting Manager supervises and develops staff accountants and clerks, serves as a point of contact for banking partners and external auditors, and leads efforts to document and assimilate the accounting processes of acquired entities.

• Demonstrated supervisory or lead experience, including reviewing others' work and developing staff.
• Advanced Excel skills (complex formulas, pivot tables, data connections, and large-data cleanup).
