Why you should join our Finance team:

At-Bay’s Finance team is responsible for the complete and accurate financial reporting for a fast-paced and growing company. You’ll be joining a team of accomplished professionals that love to learn and share knowledge. It’s a team that focuses more on building processes from the ground up and tackling bottlenecks through process improvement, rather than building a culture of overtime and burn out.

You will also assist the statutory accounting team with ad hoc activities related to the month-end close process and external NAIC and statutory filings. You’ll be empowered to create an environment of cross-functional collaboration and strong internal controls that better support our financial reporting process.
