About Elite Insurance Partners

Elite Insurance Partners (EIP) is a growing, technology-driven organization in the insurance and financial services space. We are focused on helping consumers navigate important insurance decisions while continuing to build scalable systems, strong operations, and a high-accountability workplace.
 
As we continue to grow, we are strengthening our internal finance and accounting operations. This is an opportunity for an experienced accounting leader to step into a visible, hands-on role where their work will directly support better reporting, stronger controls, cleaner processes, and smarter business decisions.

About the Role

EIP is hiring a Controller to lead and improve accounting operations while partnering with leadership on financial strategy, cash flow visibility, revenue analysis, reporting, and process improvement.
 
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can own the details, strengthen controls, improve workflows, provide accurate reporting, and drive meaningful process improvements. The ideal candidate takes initiative, follows through, and looks for ways to improve the accounting function rather than simply maintaining existing processes.

What You Will Do

  • Own daily accounting operations, including general ledger activity, journal entries, reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, vendor payments, and supporting documentation.
  • Lead the month-end close process and ensure accurate, timely financial reporting for leadership.
  • Prepare accrual-basis and cash-basis financial reports, including balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, and supporting schedules.
  • Identify and implement process improvements that reduce manual work, improve accuracy, strengthen internal controls, and increase efficiency across the accounting function.
  • Maintain depreciation, amortization, prepaid expense, accrual, and other recurring accounting schedules.
  • Oversee commission and revenue reconciliation across multiple revenue streams and product lines.
  • Research and resolve commission discrepancies, underpayments, overpayments, and timing issues.
  • Develop financial insights and analytics to support strategic decision-making, including cash flow forecasting, KPI tracking, and readiness for future reporting needs.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis for leadership decision-making.
  • Partner with leadership and cross-functional teams to improve reporting accuracy, automation, and operational efficiency.
  • Validate the accuracy and completeness of financial information before it is shared with external parties such as lenders, investors, auditors, or tax partners.
  • Prepare documentation and schedules for external accountants, tax preparers, audits, reviews, and year-end financial needs.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience with demonstrated ownership of accounting processes.
  • Prior experience as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or Accounting Manager with full month-end close ownership.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP, accrual accounting, financial statements, reconciliations, and internal controls.
  • Advanced experience with QuickBooks Online or similar cloud-based accounting software.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, formulas, reconciliations, and financial modeling.
  • Experience owning or heavily supporting accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger management, and financial reporting.
  • Proven ability to take initiative, identify problems, and drive improvements beyond assigned tasks.
  • Strong attention to detail, organization, accuracy, and follow-through.
  • Ability to communicate financial information clearly to both finance and non-finance leaders.
  • Ability to work full-time on-site in Tampa, FL.

Preferred Qualifications

  • CPA or CMA certification.
  • Experience in financial services, insurance, brokerage, or professional services.
  • Commission accounting or revenue reconciliation experience across multiple carriers, revenue streams, or product lines.
  • Complex revenue recognition experience.
  • Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) or financial modeling experience.
  • Demonstrated success improving accounting processes, internal controls, close procedures, or accounts payable workflows.
  • Experience working with external accounting firms or outsourced finance partners.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and support adoption of new processes or systems.
  • Business intelligence, dashboard reporting, automation, or finance technology experience.

Work Location and Schedule

  • Full-time, on-site position in Tampa, FL.
  • Standard business hours, with flexibility as needed during close cycles, reporting deadlines, and business-critical projects.

Compensation and Benefits

  • $135,000 - $165,000 annual salary, based on experience and qualifications.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Life and disability insurance.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Paid time off and paid holidays.
  • Professional development opportunities.
  • On-site amenities including a gym, Starbucks, cafeteria with cooks, massage chair room, and covered walking trail.
