Job Description

Controller

Counterpart

Counterpart is an insurtech platform reimagining management and professional liability for the modern workplace. We believe that when businesses lead with clarity and confidence, they become more resilient, more innovative, and better prepared for what's ahead. That's why we built the first Agentic Insurance™ system --- where advanced AI and deep insurance expertise come together to proactively assess, mitigate, and manage risk. Backed by A rated carriers and trusted by brokers nationwide, our platform helps small businesses grow with confidence. Join us in shaping a smarter future, helping businesses Do More With Less Risk®. Counterpart is entering a new chapter of growth with strong backing from world-class investors, a growing network of distribution partners, and a passionate team of industry veterans and innovators. As Controller, you will serve as the operational backbone of our finance function, ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant financial reporting while building scalable accounting processes that support our transition to a risk-bearing insurance entity. You will oversee all accounting operations, regulatory compliance, and financial controls, working closely with our functional leads to establish the financial infrastructure necessary for sustainable growth. This role is critical as we scale our operations, implement new financial systems, and navigate the complex regulatory requirements of the insurance industry. : We care about your health and that of your loved ones. We cover up to 100% of your monthly contributions for health, dental, and vision insurance and up to 80% coverage for family members. 401(k) Retirement Plan : We value your financial health and offer a 401(k) option to help you save for retirement. Parental Leave : Birthing parents may take up to 12 weeks of parental leave at 100% of their regular pay following the birth of the employee’s child, and can choose to take an additional 4 unpaid weeks. Non-birthing parents will receive 8 weeks of parental leave at 100% of their regular pay. Unlimited Vacation : We offer flexible time off, allowing you to take time when you need it. Work from Anywhere : Counterpart is a fully distributed company, meaning there is no office. We allow employees to work from wherever they do their best work, and invite the team to meet in person a couple times per year. Home Office Allowance : As a new employee, you will receive a $300 allowance to set up your home office with the necessary equipment and accessories. Wellness stipend : $100 per month to spend toward an item or service that supports your wellness (i.e. massage or gym membership, meditation app subscription, etc.) Book stipend : To support your intellectual development, we offer a book stipend that allows you to purchase books, e-books, or educational materials relevant to your role or professional interests. Professional Development Reimbursement : We provide up to $500 annually for you to invest in relevant courses, workshops, conferences, or certifications that will enhance your skills and expertise. No working birthdays : Take your birthday off , giving you the opportunity to relax, enjoy your special day, and spend time with loved ones. Charitable Contribution Matching : For every charitable donation you make, we will match it dollar for dollar, up to a maximum of $150 per year. This allows you to amplify your charitable efforts and support causes close to your heart. COUNTERPART'S VALUES Conjoin Expectations - it is the cornerstone of autonomy. Ensure you are aware of what is expected of you and clearly articulate what you expect of others. Speak Boldly & Honestly - the only failure is not learning from mistakes. Don’t cheat yourself and your colleagues of the feedback needed when  expectations aren’t being met. Be Entrepreneurial - control your own destiny.  Embrace action over perfection while navigating any obstacles that stand in the way of your ultimate goal. Practice Omotenashi (“selfless hospitality”) - trust will follow.  Consider every interaction with internal and external partners an opportunity to develop trust by going above and beyond what is expected. Hold Nothing As Sacred - create routines but modify them routinely. Take the time to reflect on where the business is today, where it needs to  go, and what you have to change in order to get there. Prioritize Wellness - some things should never be sacrificed. We create an environment that stretches everyone to grow and improve, which is fulfilling, but is only one part of a meaningful life. Our estimated pay range for this role is $170,000 to $200,000. Base salary is determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to, market data, location, internal equitability, and experience. We are committed to being a welcoming and inclusive workplace for everyone, and we are intentional about making sure people feel respected, supported and connected at work—regardless of who you are or where you come from. We value and celebrate our differences and we believe being open about who we are allows us to do the best work of our lives. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate against qualified applicants or employees on the basis of race, color, religion, gender identity, sex, sexual preference, sexual identity, pregnancy, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, age, marital status, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, military status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law, rule, or regulation.
