Remote Insurance Accounting information

How does working remotely in insurance accounting impact collaboration with other departments?

In a remote insurance accounting role, collaboration is typically managed through digital communication tools like email, video calls, and project management platforms. While you may not have face-to-face interactions, you’ll regularly coordinate with underwriting, claims, and finance teams to ensure accurate reporting and compliance. It's important to be proactive in communicating and clarifying requirements, as remote work can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or delays. Building strong virtual relationships and maintaining organized documentation will help you stay connected and effective across departments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote insurance accountant?

To thrive as a Remote Insurance Accountant, you need strong knowledge of accounting principles, insurance industry regulations, and a relevant degree or certification such as CPA or CMA. Familiarity with accounting software (like QuickBooks or SAP), insurance management systems, and data analysis tools is essential. Attention to detail, effective communication, and self-motivation are vital soft skills for managing tasks independently and collaborating virtually. These skills ensure accurate financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and efficient remote workflow in the insurance sector.

What is remote insurance accounting?

Remote insurance accounting refers to performing accounting duties for insurance companies or agencies from a remote location, rather than in a traditional office setting. These professionals handle tasks such as bookkeeping, preparing financial statements, managing claims payments, reconciling accounts, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Remote insurance accountants often use specialized software and secure communication tools to collaborate with their teams and clients. This role offers flexibility and can be ideal for those with experience in both accounting and insurance.

What is the difference between Remote Insurance Accounting vs Remote Insurance Underwriting?

AspectRemote Insurance AccountingRemote Insurance Underwriting
CredentialsAccounting certifications (e.g., CPA), finance backgroundUnderwriting licenses, insurance certifications
Work EnvironmentFinance departments, accounting teamsUnderwriting departments, risk assessment teams
Industry UsageCommon in insurance companies, brokers, and agenciesPrimarily in insurance carriers and underwriting firms
Job FocusFinancial record-keeping, claims processing, complianceRisk evaluation, policy approval, pricing decisions

Remote Insurance Accounting involves managing financial records, claims, and compliance remotely within insurance companies. In contrast, Remote Insurance Underwriting focuses on assessing risks and approving policies from a distance. Both roles require industry-specific knowledge but differ in their core responsibilities and certifications.

Job description

Who we are:

Formic is on a mission to reshape American manufacturing by making automation accessible to every factory. As labor constraints rise, costs increase, and global competition intensifies, automation is no longer optional for manufacturers that want to stay competitive.

We deliver automation through a Robotics-as-a-Service model that combines industrial robotics, proprietary software, and full-service support into a single, integrated solution. By removing the traditional barriers of cost, complexity, and risk, we enable manufacturers to deploy automation quickly and realize measurable gains in throughput, safety, and operational efficiency without large upfront capital investment.

Backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, Blackhorn Ventures, and Mitsubishi HC Capital North America, Formic is scaling rapidly and building the foundation for a new era of high-performance, Made in America production.

About the team:

Formic's Finance team enables disciplined growth across our Robotics-as-a-Service platform. The team oversees capital strategy, treasury, credit, financial operations, compliance, accounting, and investor engagement. As Formic scales nationally, Finance ensures capital is deployed intelligently, portfolio performance remains strong, and the company maintains long-term financial resilience.

Finance operates at the center of strategy and execution. It connects operational performance to capital markets, aligns deployment velocity with balance sheet strength, and supports executive decision-making with rigorous financial insight.

In this role you will:

Audit Support & Readiness

  • Help respond to auditor requests and coordinate supporting materials across systems and stakeholders
  • Support preparation for the 2026 audit cycle by helping create scalable, repeatable processes

Month-End Close & General Ledger Accounting

  • Support the month-end close process, including preparation of journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules
  • Help improve the accuracy, consistency, and timeliness of close deliverables
  • Support financial reporting activities - internal reporting schedules and management reporting support
  • Help identify and resolve accounting discrepancies, open items, and process gaps
  • Play an active role in maintenance cost reporting and tracking; driving initiatives for continuous improvement

Accounting Operations & Process Improvement

  • Partner with Supply Chain Manager to implement inventory (parts and assets) management processes. Collaborate on process improvements and operational excellence and complete quarterly inventory counts
  • Assist with process improvements related to reconciliations, accruals, expense classification, close management, and documentation
  • Create and maintain clear documentation for recurring accounting processes

What makes you a great fit:

Required

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including general ledger accounting, month-end close, journal entries, and account reconciliations
  • Experience supporting financial audits, audit readiness, or external auditor requests
  • Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills, including comfort working with supporting schedules and account reconciliations
  • Ability to operate independently, manage multiple priorities, and drive work to completion
  • Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and follow-through
  • Exceptional analytical, organizational, and project management skills with a strong attention to detail.

Preferred

  • Experience with NetSuite or similar accounting systems
  • Experience improving close processes, accounting documentation, or audit support workflows
  • Experience working in a fast-paced environment with evolving systems and processes
Our Total Rewards:

At Formic, we believe people do their best work when they feel supported both professionally and personally. That's why we offer a comprehensive benefits and perks package for full-time, U.S.-based team members, including:

  • Equity in Formic: Participate in our stock option program and share in the success of a fast-growing start-up backed by leading global investors
  • Competitive & Uncapped Commission Structure: Designed to reward performance and impact in commission-eligible roles
  • Comprehensive Healthcare Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield and Unum, with 99% of employee premiums covered and 75% coverage for dependents, with optional buy-up plans available
  • Additional Insurance Benefits: FSA and DCFSA, life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability through Unum, all 100% employer-paid
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Fully funded by Formic, offering support when you need it most
  • Paid Parental Leave Program: Up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave
  • Company-sponsored 401(k): Invest in your future with our company-facilitated retirement savings plan
  • Home Office Stipend: A one-time allowance for fully remote and hybrid employees to support an at-home or on-the-road work setup
  • Monthly Cell Phone Reimbursement: Monthly stipend toward personal phone and internet expenses
  • Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need, when you need it, supported by our flexible PTO policy
Compensation Philosophy

Formic's pay and equity packages are thoughtfully benchmarked against peer companies at a similar growth stage. Equity represents a meaningful part of our mutual investment: when Formic succeeds, so do you.

Final offers are customized based on experience, geographic location, market considerations, and a candidate's preferred balance of cash and equity. Our goal is to attract and reward top talent who will have significant impact, and we are open to thoughtful discussions to align on the right structure.

Compensation Range:
$80,000—$120,000 USD

What we look for:

We're building this company from the ground up, and every person we hire has an outsized impact on our culture, performance, and trajectory. While each team member brings unique strengths and perspectives, we look for people who align with our Operating Principles and embody them in action. If this sounds like you, Formic may be the right place for you!

  • Fearless Optimism: You make bold bets and default optimistic. You believe in the mission, aren't paralyzed by risk, and fear inaction more than failure. You see ambiguity as opportunity and bring energy to building what doesn't yet exist.
  • Create the Magic: You absorb complexity so customers don't have to. Whether your customer is external or internal, you focus on delivering experiences that are clear, fast, value-added, and outcome-driven. You don't say "not my job." You make things work.
  • Today, Not Tomorrow: You have a bias to action. You close the loop. You take extreme ownership. You understand that speed compounds, and you don't confuse activity with results.
  • Seek Truth: You think from first principles. You value data over ego and strong opinions loosely held. You're willing to challenge assumptions, including your own, in pursuit of the best answer.
  • Made of Rubber: You are resolute and adaptable. When things break or priorities shift, you rebound stronger. You treat setbacks as learning moments and move forward with grit.
  • One Formic: You operate without silos. You practice radical helpfulness, document clearly, and make clean handoffs. You assume positive intent and prioritize team success over individual credit.

Equal Opportunity Employment:

Formic is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion or religious creed, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, marital status, family or parental status, disability, military or veteran status, or any other basis protected by law. All employment decisions are based on a person's merit, business needs, and role requirements.
