Director of Accounting & Reporting | Up to $175,000 + Bonus Potential | Expanding, Multi-State Organization!
Location: Greater Tampa Bay | Hybrid | Relocation Candidates Welcome!

We are seeking a technically strong accounting professional to step into a highly visible Director of Accounting & Reporting role with a growing, multi-state insurance organization. The company has expanded steadily since its founding and continues to broaden its footprint while investing in the people who support that growth. This is a role built for someone who genuinely enjoys the technical side of accounting, where precision, regulatory fluency, and clean reporting are valued rather than rushed past. The environment is focused and professional, with a team that takes pride in accuracy and quality work products. The Director of Accounting & Reporting will own meaningful pieces of the close, reporting, and compliance cycle rather than sitting on the periphery of them, and will serve as a trusted second set of hands to senior accounting leadership. For a candidate who wants exposure across statutory and GAAP reporting, audit, internal controls, and treasury in a single seat, this position offers unusual breadth and a clear path to greater responsibility. Successful completion of background, drug, and reference checks required!

Responsibilities:

• Drive monthly, quarterly, and annual close cycles from preparation through completion
• Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting workpapers
• Deliver both statutory and GAAP-basis reporting accurately and on schedule
• Assemble quarterly and annual regulatory statements and related filing packages
• Build and analyze financial statements, management reporting, and variance commentary
• Ensure general ledger and sub-ledger activity is complete, accurate, and properly supported
• Maintain compliance with statutory accounting principles, GAAP, and applicable regulatory guidance
• Document and strengthen internal controls while identifying process improvements
• Coordinate internal and external audits, including schedules and auditor inquiries
• Partner with cross-functional teams on reserving, premium recognition, and expense allocation
• Contribute to budgeting and forecasting cycles with clear, data-backed variance explanations
• Support treasury activity, including cash management and bank reconciliations

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance required
• CPA strongly preferred
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Prior statutory accounting & reporting experience within the property & casualty insurance industry required
• Strong command of GAAP, statutory accounting principles, and internal control frameworks
• Proficiency with a mid-to-large-scale ERP or cloud accounting platform
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with data analysis or reporting tools is a plus
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving ability
• Detail-oriented approach with a clear focus on accuracy and compliance
• Comfort operating in a deadline-driven reporting environment

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• Direct exposure to senior leadership and genuine influence over process
• Notably low turnover and a stable, long-tenured team
• A focused, professional culture that rewards technical depth and accuracy
• A growing multi-state platform with expanding responsibility over time
