$160,000.00/yr - $200,000.00/yr We placed the CFO at this firm - one of the most respected independent reinsurance brokerage firms in the U.S.—a company ranked among the Top 10 by earned brokerage and known for its deep technical expertise and relationship-first culture. Structured as an ESOP, the firm has a long history of driving employee wealth creation while delivering consistent EBITDA growth and exceptional client retention. This isn’t just a finance job—it’s an opportunity to help shape the next phase of the company’s evolution, with full support from a leadership team that values integrity, collaboration, and real accountability.

You’ll be leading efforts to modernize and scale the finance infrastructure—from accelerating the monthly close and enhancing reporting to strengthening internal controls and mentoring a highly capable team. The hybrid schedule is truly flexible, and the culture supports work-life balance as a core value, not just a slogan. The team thinks like shareholders because they are. And with a clear path toward progression, this role is designed for someone ready to take ownership, and grow into a broader leadership position over time.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA helpful but not required 8–10 years of relevant experience in reinsurance (required), insurance, or brokerage accounting Proven leadership experience with a track record of building and managing high-performing teams Demonstrates initiative, a strong work ethic, and ability to operate independently with urgency Excellent interpersonal and communication skills across all levels of the organization High attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities and projects simultaneously Ability to maintain confidentiality and build trusted relationships with internal and external stakeholders

The role is hybrid, with two days a week in the office (you choose the days), and compensation in the $160,000 to $200,000 base range (some flexibility upwards for the right person), plus bonus and ESOP.
