We are partnering with a well-established, family-owned insurance agency in Orlando that is seeking a hands-on Controller to join its leadership team. This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-impact role that directly supports ownership, with broad visibility across financial operations. This is not a purely oversight position.

Familiarity with agency management systems (Vertafore / AMS preferred).
Technically capable and open to leveraging systems to improve efficiency.
Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to manage discrepancies and complex account activity.
Comfortable working in a small, close-knit office environment.
Collaborative, low-ego, team-first approach.
Naturally curious, interested in improving processes and exploring new ideas.

Responsibilities

Manage day-to-day accounting operations, including commissions, carrier payables, collections, and account reconciliation.

Handle high-volume / high-value cash flow accounts ($10M+) with accuracy and accountability.
Partner closely with ownership on financial visibility, reporting, and operational decisions.
Identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and enhance workflows.
Act as a liaison with Vertafore / AMS, exploring system capabilities, efficiencies, and emerging tools (including AI integrations)
Assist in resolving discrepancies, managing collections, and maintaining strong client/account relationships.
Stay informed on market trends, attend industry events, and bring insights back to leadership.
Operate as a true “utility player”-supporting across functions where needed.
