Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Counterpart is an Agentic Insurance platform that combines insurance expertise with artificial intelligence to provide management and professional liability solutions. The Accounting Manager will run day-to-day financial operations, own accounts receivable, accounts payable, expense management, and vendor administration, support reporting and audit activities, and automate accounting workflows.
Responsibilities
- Own premium accounts receivable from brokers end-to-end - invoicing and installment billing, cash application against policies and endorsements, and aging and collections follow-up - so premium owed to Counterpart is collected on time and applied accurately
- Own the reconciliation of broker premium remittances into the premium trust account, clearing unapplied cash before it ages and escalating past-due balances and write-off candidates to the Controller
- Own execution of Counterpart's spend-management automation - full accounts payable automation, invoice coding, and card-spend policy enforcement
- Own employee expense reimbursement administration, setting the standard for review before sign-off by Controller
- Own vendor records and documentation, including W-9 collection, and manage the relationships behind recurring vendor and brokerage-fee payments
- Own recurring program-level reimbursement invoicing end-to-end, from calculation through submission
- Prepare bordereau assembly and the premium reconciliation process across all carrier and reinsurance relationships, resolving discrepancies before they reach the Controller
- Maintain the carrier payment calendar, prioritizing and resolving issues against each carrier's timing requirements for the Controller's approval
- Prepare monthly loss fund reporting to carrier partners - bank-to-book reconciliation, top-up requests, and check registers - resolving variances directly with carrier contacts
- Execute claims payments from loss fund accounts under the Controller's payment authority, partnering directly with the Claims team on payment timing and exceptions
- Administer the response process for the annual company audit, carrier audit financial requests, and the R&D tax credit - compiling documentation, drafting responses, and managing the deadline calendar, while the Controller leads the auditor and tax-advisor relationships
- Support Counterpart Insurance Company's statutory (STAT) reporting cadence and regulatory filings, providing the underlying data and documentation the Controller needs for CIC's STAT close
- Maintain and continuously improve the accounting due dates calendar
- Prepare and distribute the recurring carrier partner reporting package - unaudited financials, cash position summaries, and other standard deliverables on a monthly and quarterly basis, for the Controller's review and sign-off
- Partner with the Controller on evaluating and coordinating contractor, vendor, or offshore support for these processes as the accounting function grows
- Build and use agents to automate premium receivable cash application, bordereau assembly, premium reconciliation, and claims payment processing
- Feed clean, structured financial data and workflows into Counterpart's Intelligence System
- Decide where agents replace manual work versus where judgment is still required, and partner with the technical platform team to build and continuously improve those workflows
