Principal Accountant

At Corgi, we're building the first fully automated insurance carrier.

Our goal is to rebuild the $1T+ insurance industry from the ground up using AI. We're not just building a company; we're building infrastructure for the next hundred years. If you’ve built things from scratch and know what it means to move fast and own outcomes, we want you on the team.

We’re well-funded and backed by top investors, providing the resources you wish you had when building your own business. We don’t care about traditional roles or titles - just that you’re smart, proactive, and bring the same founder-level ownership and drive to help us build something massive.

We’re looking for a licensed CPA to join as a Principal Accountant
, reporting directly to our Head of Finance. You’ll support core accounting and finance functions while helping us design and implement scalable, automated systems from day one. Unlike traditional firms, you won’t just be closing books—you’ll be working alongside engineering to help automate accounting workflows and shape how finance operates in an AI-native company.

This role is ideal for someone early in their career who wants more responsibility and growth than they’d get at a large firm
. You’ll be exposed to everything from technical accounting to automation design, with direct mentorship from our Head of Finance.
