Job Description

Pie's mission is to empower small businesses to thrive by making commercial insurance affordable and as easy as pie. We leverage technology to transform how small businesses buy and experience commercial insurance.

Like our small business customers, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs who are driven by core values and operating principles that guide every decision we make.

You’ll be primarily responsible for handling Pie’s monthly close operations (including internal and external reporting) with a roll-up-your-sleeves approach. You’ll be responsible for regularly identifying and implementing process improvements and controls. You’ll also have valuable opportunities to help improve existing accounting processes, develop new accounting procedures, implement new financial systems, and take ownership of the company’s financial statements.

Lead the monthly accounting close process. Manage the close calendar and monitor close status. Review journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analyses in accordance with U.S. GAAP and internal company policies. Deliver accurate information on time.
Participate in larger projects around (a) automation, (b) system implementation, modification and integration and (c) implementation of best practices to drive efficiency in the accounting department.
Account for and document accounting estimates that are complex in nature (for example, share based compensation, contingent commission estimates, accounting standard implementations, etc).
Review and evaluate accounting systems and software for improvements and upgrades.
Manage areas of the year-end financial statement audit with external auditors, ensuring compliance with audit requirements and timely completion.
Lead accounting staff, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and establishing performance metrics.
Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and footnotes.
Analyze historical results to improve information quality and provide insights to management, both independently and through partnership with the finance team.
Assist with ad hoc projects and requests as needed.
Support other internal teams with their accounting-related, operational needs.
