Overview

Our client is a rapidly growing, private equity-backed insurance platform expanding through organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and business development initiatives.

  • Partner with executive leadership to analyze revenue growth, operating expenses, profitability, capital allocation, and workforce planning.
  • Prepare executive dashboards, KPI reporting, management reporting packages, and board presentations.

  • Support corporate development, M&A analysis, investment evaluations, and business case development.
  • Evaluate growth opportunities, operational improvements, and value creation initiatives through data-driven financial analysis.
  • Improve FP&A processes, reporting frameworks, forecasting methodologies, and financial planning tools.
  • Collaborate with finance, operations, and senior leadership teams to support company-wide strategic objectives.
  • Translate complex financial data into clear recommendations for executive stakeholders.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
  • 3-5+ years of experience in Finance, FP&A, Corporate Finance, Financial Analysis, Investment Banking, Consulting, Private Equity, Accounting, or a related analytical role.
  • Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills with strong expertise in financial modeling, forecasting, budgeting, and business analysis.
  • Experience creating executive presentations, board materials, KPI dashboards, and management reporting packages.
  • Strong analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving abilities with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Ability to thrive in high-growth, fast-paced environments with competing priorities.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to present financial insights to senior leadership and non-financial stakeholders.
  • Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or other business intelligence and data visualization tools preferred.
  • Insurance experience within P&C, specialty insurance, carriers, MGAs, brokers, or reinsurance organizations is a plus.
  • Proven ability to work directly with executive leadership, investors, and cross-functional teams.
