Senior Accountant ((WC)

Job Summary

We are looking to hire a highly driven Senior Accountant to support a fast-growing Workers Compensation insurance business within an MGA environment that directly supports the carrier. This role sits at the intersection of accounting, finance, and operations, and is designed for someone who can take ownership of the financial mechanics of the business while operating in a high-speed, high-volume setting. The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in accounts payable, receivables and financial operations, paired with the ability to work confidently in Excel to manage, reconcile, and analyze large datasets tied to premium flows, commissions payables, trade payables and transactional activity.

This position is not a traditional back-office accounting role. Instead, it requires someone who can operate as both a technical executor and an operational partner to the business. You will be responsible for supporting day-to-day servicing needs across financial workflows, including answering questions related to payments, tracking transactions, and resolving issues in real time. You will work cross-functionally with operations, legal, and internal teams, acting as a key resource to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of financial processes across the organization.

Success in this role requires the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment where processes are still being built and optimized. You should be comfortable managing hundreds of transactions and requests while maintaining a high level of precision and accountability. A strong understanding of Excel (including formulas, lookups, and data manipulation) is critical, along with the ability to quickly learn and navigate complex financial workflows within the insurance ecosystem. Experience within insurance, particularly in an MGA, carrier, or similar environment, is highly preferred but not required if you bring strong transferable experience from another high-volume financial setting.

Responsibilities:

• Support day-to-day accounting operations for multiple entities, adapting to varying business needs
• Perform transactional accounting activities including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger entries
• Assist in month-end close processes and balance sheet account reconciliations
• Prepare manual journal entries and accounting adjustments as needed
• Support special projects and initiatives based on team priorities
• Identify and resolve accounting discrepancies and issues
• Maintain detailed documentation and support continuous process improvements
• Shift focus between different types of work as business needs evolve
• Provide input on process improvement and optimization

Minimum Qualifications:

• • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 5-7 years of accounting experience with strong fundamental accounting knowledge
  • Experience with account reconciliations and transactional accounting (payables and receivables)
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Intermediate Excel skills (VLOOKUP, pivot tables, data analysis)
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Self-starter mentality with ability to work independently
  • Adaptable mindset and comfort with shifting priorities
  • Ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously
