About Reserv

Reserv is an insurtech creating and incubating cutting-edge AI and automation technology to bring efficiency and simplicity to claims. Founded by insurtech veterans with deep experience in SaaS and digital claims, Reserv is venture-backed by Bain Capital and Altai Ventures and began operations in May 2022. We are focused on automating highly manual tasks to tackle long-standing problems in claims and set a new standard for TPAs, insurance technology providers, and adjusters alike.

We have ambitious (but attainable!) goals and need people who can work in an evolving environment. If building a leading TPA and the prospect of tackling the long-standing challenges of the role sounds exciting, we can’t wait to meet you.

About the role

We’re looking for a technically strong Controller to lead our accounting operations and ensure financial integrity as we scale. This individual will be responsible for the full accounting function, including monthly close, financial reporting, audit preparation, and building scalable processes and internal controls necessary for a fast-growing company.

You’ll report to the CFO and work closely with leaders across finance, strategy, and operations. This role is ideal for someone who combines technical accounting expertise with strong operational instincts and enjoys building reliable systems from the ground up.

Who you are

• You’re a highly skilled and detail-oriented accounting professional who brings deep technical knowledge and sound judgment to everything you do.
• You’ve led the core accounting function at a growing company or have advised high-growth businesses in a public accounting setting, and you’re comfortable navigating both complexity and ambiguity.
• You take pride in building strong, scalable processes and have a track record of implementing internal controls that stand up to scrutiny.
• You don’t just execute - you think strategically, spotting risks early and proactively solving problems before they arise.
• You’re energized by the opportunity to build from the ground up and contribute meaningfully to a company’s long-term foundation.
• You operate with a high degree of ownership, communicate clearly and cross-functionally, and bring a practical, business-minded approach to technical accounting challenges.

What we need

We need you to do all the things typical to the role:

• Lead all aspects of accounting, including GL, revenue recognition, AR/AP, payroll, and equity accounting
• Manage the month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
• Prepare GAAP-compliant financial statements and reporting packages for internal and external stakeholders
• Design and implement internal controls and accounting policies that scale with the business
• Serve as primary liaison for external auditors, tax advisors, and accounting vendors
• Drive continuous improvements in accounting systems, tools, and processes
• Support cross-functional initiatives involving financial operations, client reporting, and compliance
• Build and constantly refine expense and reimbursement management procedures and policies to ensure proper controls and budgetary visibility
• Manage treasury operations to safely and securely manage Reserv’s liquid assets across a diversified set of institutions

Requirements

Success in this role will best be supported by someone who meets the following requirements:

• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time in public accounting
• CPA required; strong technical knowledge of US GAAP
• Proven ability to build accounting infrastructure and internal controls in a high-growth environment
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with a problem-solving mindset
• Insurance or TPA experience is a plus, but not required
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, remote-first, high-ownership culture

Benefits

• Generous health-insurance package with nationwide coverage, vision, & dental
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching
• Competitive PTO policy – we want our employees fresh, healthy, happy, and energized!
• Generous family leave policy
• Work from anywhere to facilitate your work life balance
• Apple laptop, large second monitor, and other quality-of-life equipment you may want. Technology is something that should make your life easier, not harder!

At Reserv, we value diversity in backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences and believe that diversity in viewpoints and critical thinking drives innovation, first-principles thinking, and success. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage those from all walks of life to apply. If you believe you are a good fit for this role, we would love to hear from you!
