Job Title:
Senior Accountant - Complex Account Reconciliations (18-Month Contract, Remote)

Our Client:
We're hiring on behalf of a global insurance and claims organization undergoing a major general ledger and subledger cleanup. This 18-month contract is a high-impact opportunity for a Senior Accountant to support complex reconciliations, premium trust reporting, and system alignment across finance and operations.

You'll be joining a project-focused team tasked with untangling years of backlog and helping lay the foundation for accurate and scalable processes going forward.

Location:
Remote (Canada-based preferred)

Compensation:
Competitive hourly rate

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Own and manage complex account reconciliations (bank, GL, subledger), working with large datasets (200,000+ transactions)
  • Reconcile monthly premium trust reporting packages to accounting records, providing variance analysis and identifying timing differences
  • Prepare monthly external reporting packages for insurance partners and upload to carrier portals in accordance with contract deadlines
  • Manage subledger accounts tied to trust accounts - including customer/vendor activity and timely application of related payments
  • Investigate mismatches in the finance system, including GL, AP, AR, and bank transactions
  • Extract and reconcile data across multiple systems and sources; escalate and resolve data quality or mapping issues
  • Build reports to flag outstanding issues, aging items, and remediation efforts
  • Respond to internal and external inquiries, researching root causes of reporting gaps or variances
  • Work collaboratively with Finance, Operations, and IT to design step-by-step reconciliation processes and sustainable controls
What You Bring:

  • Strong experience with complex, high-volume account reconciliations
  • Advanced Excel skills - including pivot tables, lookups, and working with large datasets
  • Solid understanding of accounting principles and subledger-to-GL relationships
  • Experience with premium trust accounting, third-party administrators (TPAs), or insurance/claims environments is a strong asset
  • Comfortable navigating general ledger systems (Great Plains/GP experience is a plus)
  • Highly analytical, organized, and able to work independently in a fast-paced environment
  • CPA designation is preferred but not required
Who This Role Isn't For:

  • FP&A-focused accountants (budgeting, forecasting, reporting experience only)
  • Professionals from small business or nonprofit settings - this is an enterprise-level environment
  • Candidates seeking a people management role - this is a hands-on, individual contributor position
Details:

  • Remote (Canada-based)
  • 18-month contract
  • Immediate start available
If you're someone who thrives in the details, can build clarity out of chaos, and enjoys complex reconciliations and process improvement - we'd love to hear from you.
