• Develop and implement financial controls, accounting standards, and compliance practices

• Direct monthly/quarterly reporting, annual statements, and financial audits

• Partner with leadership to optimize performance, reduce costs, and support business growth

• Oversee expense management, GL operations, and financial systems

• Lead process improvement and automation initiatives

• Manage a team including Controller-level and Accounting functions

• Serve as a key contributor to strategic planning and operational decision‑making

 

Ideal Background

• 10+ years of progressive financial leadership experience

• Property & Casualty insurance industry experience required (Statutory + GAAP reporting)

• Experience in energy, oil & gas, or complex multi‑state environments preferred

• Strong background in financial reporting, planning, and expense management

• Systems experience with PeopleSoft, Oracle, Excel; familiarity with billing workflows

• Proven leadership capabilities with a track record of developing and engaging teams

• Ability to manage multiple priorities, communicate clearly, and influence at all levels
