Head of Finance

Nirvana Insurance

2d•$200,000 - $280,000•Remote

About The Position

In this role, you'll be the financial owner of Nirvana Insurance Services (NIS), a commercial insurance MGA and the engine of our written premium growth. You'll own its accounting close, revenue recognition, reinsurance program economics, and business-unit FP&A end to end. Today that work sits across several people as one piece of each of their broader, multi-entity roles. As we scale, NIS deserves a single, accountable owner — and this is that seat. You'll oversee our Accounting and FP&A teams, and partner closely with our cross-functional leaders across the company. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You'll build and enhance the processes, source of truth, and the team behind one of the most economically important parts of the company.

Requirements

Hands-on experience across both accounting and finance/FP&A inside an operating company of approximately 8 - 12 years
Detail-oriented and execution-focused, with the resilience to thrive in a high-performance, fast-paced setting
Hands-on operator: comfortable digging into the details with teams, implementing solutions, and iterating quickly — not just producing metrics or analysis
Comfortable operating in an environment where entity structures and processes can be complex and navigating those challenges and building the future is energizing
Demonstrated outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills
Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify and articulate complex financial concepts to diverse stakeholders, from executives to operators
ASC 606 revenue recognition experience, ideally with commission-based revenue models

Nice To Haves

Prior experience in fintech
Some fluency in insurance or MGA economics
Prior insurance or financial services experience is a nice to have, not a requirement

Own premium trust account funding approval and serve as the escalation point for fronting-carrier remittance operations, partnering with our Controller's team on execution

Own financial oversight of our subproducer and agency agreements, from reviewing terms to resolving remittance and commission-balance questions with our agency partners
Coordinate NIS's audit deliverables with our external auditors as part of the broader company-wide engagement
Author NIS's financial narrative and results for the board deck
Serve as the day-to-day financial partner to our Fleet, Business Auto, and Non-Fleet business-unit leads
