  • Minimum 5 years of accounting experience in the insurance industry (carrier, MGA, TPA, or related organization).
  • Proven expertise in US Statutory accounting principles and US GAAP reporting.
  • Strong ERP system proficiency (SAP experience preferred).
  • Advanced Excel and financial analysis skills.
  • Exceptional accuracy, attention to detail, and ability to meet tight deadlines.
