DescriptionChief Financial Officer · Rated Florida Property & Casualty Carrier We have been retained to appoint a Chief Financial Officer for a rated property and casualty carrier in Florida who are rapidly growing. The client is confidential at this stage.

The opportunity: The carrier is well capitalised, carries no debt and is backed by a global specialty insurance group with direct access to the London market.

Lead reinsurance accounting, recoverables and collateral, and work with the appointed actuary on reserves
Oversee a conservative investment portfolio and liquidity
Lead the financial relationship with the rating agency, the regulator and the auditors
Build the finance team, the systems and the controls
Who we are looking for
A finance leader from a property and casualty carrier, with statutory accounting at the core of your record
Hands-on experience of preparing and signing off statutory annual and quarterly statements
Experience of a rating agency review and a state regulatory examination. Florida experience is an advantage
A clear understanding of how a catastrophe-exposed property book consumes capital
A builder who has set up or rebuilt a finance function in a lean business
A sitting carrier CFO, or a strong deputy ready for the top seat
A qualified accountant

LocationBased in Tampa, Florida. This is an in-office / hybrid role. Local candidates are preferred. What is on offer A senior leadership seat at a rated carrier at the start of its growth, a competitive package, and a long-term incentive tied to the value you help create.

Salary Range: $300,000 - $450,000 Base + Bonus

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
