About The Position

Stand is looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to own the day-to-day accounting execution that keeps our financial records accurate, reconciled, documented, and ready for close across the parent company, captive, and reciprocal.

Insurance or reinsurance accounting experience.
5 yrs or more of experience in an accounting role.
Track record of building scalable accounting processes, controls, and documentation in an early-stage or high-growth environment.
Experience preparing journal entries, reconciliations, supporting schedules, accruals, prepaids, cash, credit card, AP, and expense reconciliations.
Strong attention to detail, disciplined documentation practices, and the ability to prepare clear, audit-ready support.
Experience managing multi-entity accounting, including intercompany balances, allocations, and entity-level schedules that are organized, accurate, and audit-ready.
Proactive communicator who surfaces blockers, variances, missing support, and unclear accounting treatment early.
Ability to partner cross-functionally while creating practical checklists, schedules, and repeatable accounting processes.

Nice To Haves

Multi-entity accounting experience, especially in a parent company, captive, reciprocal, or similarly complex structure.
Experience supporting audits, tax, statutory reporting, regulatory filings, or external CPA requests.
Familiarity with accounting, expense management, payroll, AP, or reporting systems; interest in automation or technology to reduce manual work.

Responsibilities

Execute recurring monthly close activities, including assigned GL accounts, journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules.
Prepare accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, cash, credit card, expense, AP, and vendor reconciliations with clear supporting documentation.
Maintain accurate books across Stand’s multi-entity structure, including HoldCo, captive, reciprocal, intercompany activity, allocations, cash activity, and expense coding.
Support insurance accounting activities, including premium, claims, loss, LAE, policy billing and servicing, and reinsurance entries and schedules.
Tie accounting records to underwriting, claims, and operational source data, and document variances with clear ownership and next steps.
Support AP processing, payment runs, vendor documentation, expense coding review, recurring accrual schedules, and approval compliance.
Prepare support for audit, CPA, statutory, regulatory, captive reinsurance, management, investor, and board reporting requests, while building lightweight templates and checklists that make the close process more repeatable.
