[Hiring] Head of Finance @Nirvana Insurance

Role Description

In this role, you'll be the financial owner of Nirvana Insurance Services (NIS), a commercial insurance MGA and the engine of our written premium growth. You'll own its accounting close, revenue recognition, reinsurance program economics, and business-unit FP&A end to end.

Today that work sits across several people as one piece of each of their broader, multi-entity roles. As we scale, NIS deserves a single, accountable owner — and this is that seat. You'll oversee our Accounting and FP&A teams, and partner closely with our cross-functional leaders across the company.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You'll build and enhance the processes, source of truth, and the team behind one of the most economically important parts of the company.

What you'll do:

• Own NIS's monthly, quarterly, and annual FP&A cycle — budget-vs-actual for the company and its programs — and author the variance narrative that feeds our board process.
• Own NIS's accounting close and revenue recognition for MGA commission income (ASC 606), including treaty-year commission-rate reconciliation.
• Own premium trust account funding approval and serve as the escalation point for fronting-carrier remittance operations, partnering with our Controller's team on execution.
• Own the reconciliation of NIS's reinsurance program economics — quota share loss ratios and provisional and contingent commission true-ups by treaty year — and build the single, shared source of truth behind them.
• Own financial oversight of our subproducer and agency agreements, from reviewing terms to resolving remittance and commission-balance questions with our agency partners.
• Coordinate NIS's audit deliverables with our external auditors as part of the broader company-wide engagement.
• Author NIS's financial narrative and results for the board deck.
• Serve as the day-to-day financial partner to our Fleet, Business Auto, and Non-Fleet business-unit leads.
• Build and lead a small, high-leverage team, with an accountant on day one and a finance manager to hire.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience across both accounting and finance/FP&A inside an operating company of approximately 8 - 12 years.
• Detail-oriented and execution-focused, with the resilience to thrive in a high-performance, fast-paced setting.
• Hands-on operator: comfortable digging into the details with teams, implementing solutions, and iterating quickly — not just producing metrics or analysis.
• Comfortable operating in an environment where entity structures and processes can be complex and navigating those challenges and building the future is energizing.
• Demonstrated outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify and articulate complex financial concepts to diverse stakeholders, from executives to operators.
• ASC 606 revenue recognition experience, ideally with commission-based revenue models.
• Prior experience in fintech; some fluency in insurance or MGA economics are nice to have experience.
• Prior insurance or financial services experience is a nice to have, not a requirement.

Benefits

• Competitive salary & equity.
• Medical, dental & vision insurance.
• 401k with company match.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Remote (U.S.).
