Job Description

Superior Insurance Partners is a rapidly growing insurance brokerage platform specializing in commercial lines, personal lines, and employee benefits solutions for businesses and individuals across the United States. Through strategic acquisitions and long-term partnerships with leading independent agencies, Superior has built a strong presence throughout the Midwest and Eastern U.S.

At the core of Superior's approach is its mission: to improve the lives of its Agency Partners by supporting their personal, professional, and financial goals. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, Superior develops customized growth strategies tailored to each partner agency's unique vision and objectives. Agency partners gain access to a robust shared-services platform that includes accounting and finance, recruiting, human resources, AMS/IT support, marketing, and M&A expertise — allowing local agencies to maintain their entrepreneurial culture while benefiting from the scale, resources, and best practices of a larger organization. Long-term economic alignment ensures partners remain invested in the collective success and growth of the platform.

Superior Insurance Partners is backed by Tyree & D'Angelo Partners ("TDP"), a leading Chicago-based private equity firm focused on investing in and partnering with lower middle-market businesses. TDP companies have completed over 1,000 partnerships, have grown to over $4 billion of enterprise value, and TDP has over $1.4 billion of capital under management. 

We are currently seeking a Staff Accountant to join our high-growth, fast-paced company. This position will report to the Accounting Manager and play a key role in onboarding and supporting acquired agencies with agency management system ("AMS") and accounting responsibilities. Desire to work in a growth-oriented business with a focus on acquisitions and integrations is highly valued. The chosen candidate will be a team player and assist with all elements of the accounting function, including production report and accounting reconciliation, general ledger accounting, month-end close and reconciliation of banking transactions.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Process, record, and reconcile deposits received by Superior.
  • Track and follow up with agency on overdue client accounts.
  • Reconcile direct bill commission statements.
  • Reconcile premium payables and issue carrier payments.
  • Reconcile monthly bank statements.
  • Review of monthly producer and sub-broker commissions.
  • Draft and send invoices to agency customers.
  • Reconcile general ledger accounts as needed.
  • Enter journal entries.
  • Handle audit requests.
  • Prepare monthly financial reports including variance analysis.
  • Assist in the creation of ad hoc financial analyses for agency partners.

 

Required Criteria

  • Accounting degree and 1+ years' experience working with small to mid-size multi-location companies or 5+ years of accounting experience.
  • Strong attention to detail and a high degree of accuracy.
  • Good verbal and written communication skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (including advanced skills), Word, Outlook and preferably Power Point.
  • Must be able to multi-task and meet agreed upon deadlines.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced/high-growth environment.

 

Preferred Criteria

  • Proficiency in Applied EPIC and/or AMS360
  • Insurance industry experience
  • Experience reconciling carrier commission statements

 

Compensation: $65,000–$95,000 (based on experience) plus full benefits — and the chance to grow with a fast-moving, people-first company.  Hybrid or Remote work possible.
