## Description (the employer's text)

### About WithCoverage

WithCoverage replaces the traditional insurance brokerage with AI-supercharged risk management designed for the modern economy.

We partner with over one thousand high-growth, category-defining companies, including GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Bombas, Chomps, and Blank Street Coffee. Our clients span iconic consumer brands, hospitality leaders, GCs, advanced manufacturers, and next-generation defense contractors. They operate in complex risk environments and need a partner that can move at their speed.

Instead of a fragmented, manual brokerage stack, we have built a new category: elite risk advisors operating on top of proprietary technology. Our in-house Agency Management System gives our team and AI agents full visibility into policies, exposures, claims, billing, and commissions. This platform enables deep automation, better decisions, and a fundamentally higher standard of service.

WithCoverage was founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Bain, Compound). We have raised over $43M from leading investors including Sequoia, 8VC, Khosla Ventures and Crystal Venture Partners.

Our ambition is not to build a better brokerage. It is to redefine how risk is managed across the economy.

### Why Join Us

- Grow Faster – We’re scaling quickly, giving you significant opportunities to learn, lead, and shape your career and the company's future.
- Work That Matters – We protect the world’s most innovative brands: consumer icons, hospitality leaders, next-gen defense contractors, and US manufacturers.
- Redefine an Industry – Insurance is one of the largest, slowest-moving markets. We rewrite the playbook with proprietary technology, automation, and AI.
- Financial Rewards – We hire the best and invest in you. That means competitive comp, meaningful equity, and excellent benefits. We believe strongly in internal promotion and lay out a plan for everyone's career growth.
### About The Role

Reporting to the Head of Finance, the Senior Accounting Manager owns the accounting function at WithCoverage and builds the insurance accounting system underneath it. We're going from 0 → 1. Accounting is the foundational pillar that gets us there.

Most Senior Accounting Manager roles are about running a close that already exists. This one is about designing it. We move client premium through a fiduciary trust account, and the policy-level subledger, carrier reconciliation, and commission revenue recognition that sit on top of it are yours. You'll have a dedicated bookkeeper handling transaction processing, AP, and AR, so your time goes to architecture, controls, and judgment, not data entry. You'll also have an external controller as a technical sounding board and a Head of Finance who will get you whatever you need.

This is a hands-on individual contributor seat that grows into that title and team as we scale

### Your first 6 months

Fiduciary and Premium Trust Accounting

- Own the premium trust: client funds reconciled to the bank and tracked to the customer and policy level
- Design and operate carrier reconciliation as a recurring control, including clearing the current backlog of unapplied carrier payments
- Establish the fiduciary liability accounting for premiums payable to carriers and return premiums payable to insureds
Revenue Recognition

- Build our commission revenue recognition under ASC 606, including policy-level schedules, expected versus received against carrier statements, cancellations, endorsements, return commission, and flat fees
- Own the revenue close and the defense of every number in it
Month-End Close and Financial Reporting

- Own the monthly close and GAAP financial statements, including the transition of corporate books from cash to accrual basis
- Review journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and accruals prepared by the bookkeeper
- Own the compliance calendar: surplus lines taxes, 1099s, and state filings, with external preparers filing
Systems and Automation

- Design the policy-level subledger and how it feeds the general ledger. QuickBooks stays as the GL and we build around it, using modern tooling and AI where it beats a spreadsheet
