Description
At Ledgebrook , we’re building a next-generation insurance infrastructure — fast, smart, and scalable — and are looking for a Director of Finance who can build Stonehaven’s finance and accounting infrastructure from the ground up to support the launch of Ledgebrook ’s new third-party hybrid fronting carrier, Stonehaven Specialty Insurance Company.
This role reports to the Chief Operating Officer and works closely with the Stonehaven Operations and Claims team on bordereaux review and approval, and with Ledgebrook ’s parent finance team as needed.
About the Role
Stonehaven is seeking a Director of Finance to build and own its finance and accounting infrastructure, turning third-party bordereaux data into trustworthy financials and a per-program economic picture. This role requires deep P&C statutory and GAAP accounting expertise, reinsurance accounting experience, and comfort standing up finance infrastructure at a new or early-stage carrier.
What You’ll Do
Establish the chart of accounts, GL, and month-end close process aligned to the NAIC Annual Statement from inception.
Participate in due diligence on prospective MGA and program partners, assessing financial strength, premium handling and trust account practices, and the quality of their bordereaux and financial reporting.
Review and approve incoming MGA and TPA bordereaux jointly with the Stonehaven Operations and Claims team before Shared Services posts them to the ledger.
Own the integrity of financial data flowing between Stonehaven and its MGA, TPA and reinsurance partners, with transaction processing (GL entries, AR/AP, cash and bank reconciliations) performed by Shared Services under this role’s oversight.
Ensure statutory (STAT) accounting and reporting are accurate, timely and compliant with NAIC requirements.
Own bordereaux-driven premium and loss accounting, reconciled to cash, ledger, and cessions with support from operations and technology resources.
Own fronting-fee revenue recognition and per-program economics reporting.
Establish capital-management practices reflecting reinsurance credit risk and the claims-pay-then-recover liquidity buffer; maintain the cash-flow model.
Support the Reserve Committee, the Audit Committee and the ORSA process.
