- Lead the transition from cash accounting to full GAAP compliance

- Manage premium recognition, revenue amortization for multi-year contracts, IBNR, loss reserves, and trust/restricted cash
- Partner with actuaries to ensure accurate earnings curves and reserve methodologies
- Ensure compliance with regulatory, contractual, and GAAP requirements
- Strengthen internal controls and build scalable processes for a growth-stage environment
- Lead audits and coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and regulatory agencies
- Collaborate with operations and claims teams to ensure accurate claims, reserves, and liability accounting
- Mentor accounting staff and elevate team capability
- Support FP&A, forecasting, and leadership reporting initiatives
Must-Haves:
- Bachelor's in Accounting/Finance; CPA strongly preferred
- 7+ years progressive accounting experience with hands-on ownership of:
- Reserve accounting & long-tail liability management
- Claims accounting
- Premium accounting and multi-year revenue recognition
- IBNR methodologies and trust/restricted cash
- Direct experience in automotive warranty, VSC, vehicle protection products, specialty insurance, or TPA environments
