- Review and reconcile reinsurance ledger balances against premium and loss bordereaux, confirming recoverables and payables are properly recorded to support timely settlement activity.
- Support the accounting setup and execution of new and renewed reinsurance arrangements, including complex or nonstandard transactions and other special agreements assigned by leadership.
- Build and maintain productive working relationships with brokers and reinsurers to help resolve issues, support negotiations, and represent the company's accounting position effectively.
- Strengthen the internal control environment by preparing or reviewing reconciliations, responding to audit requests, and documenting support for key balance sheet accounts and reporting processes.
- Analyze reinsurance results and investigate fluctuations, preparing clear explanations and reporting materials for management, auditors, and regulatory stakeholders.
- Develop a strong understanding of reinsurance data movement and system interactions that affect financial and statutory reporting across multiple entities and platforms.
- Assist with quarterly and annual statutory reporting requirements, including preparation and review of Schedule F and other reinsurance-related filings.
