We’re working on a Controller / Assistant Controller search for a long-established, well-capitalized Property & Casualty insurance organization based in Atlanta.

This is a lean, hands-on carrier environment with a highly engaged executive leadership team. The company has a long operating history, a stable workforce, and a culture where leadership is very involved in day-to-day financial and operational oversight.

The role reports directly to the CEO/President, who previously served as CFO and continues to carry significant finance responsibilities. The intent of this hire is to bring in a strong accounting leader who can take full ownership of the accounting function and provide meaningful operational relief at the executive level.

This individual will oversee a small but strong accounting team, including an Accounting Manager and Finance Manager.

What the role involves:

• Ownership of month-end, quarter-end, and annual close
• GAAP and statutory financial reporting
• NAIC statutory filings and insurance regulatory compliance
• Premium accounting, claims accounting, and reinsurance settlements
• Treasury and cash management functions
• Close partnership with underwriting and claims teams
• Direct exposure to external auditors and regulators
• Full responsibility for accounting operations in a lean environment

Ideal background:

• Active CPA required
• Prior Controller or Assistant Controller experience
• Strong Property & Casualty insurance background strongly preferred
• Statutory accounting and NAIC reporting experience highly valued
• Exposure to claims, underwriting, and reinsurance accounting is a plus
• Proven leadership over accounting teams or functions
• Stable career progression and strong attention to detail

Additional context:

• Fully onsite role (5 days/week in office) in Atlanta
• Highly detail-oriented leadership team with a strong preference for polished, well-structured candidates
• Interview process is in-person and relationship-driven

We’re prioritizing stable, polished accounting leaders in the insurance space who are comfortable operating in a hands-on, lean environment with direct executive exposure.
