Qualified accountants are hired on as "Account Managers" for captive insurance managers and assigned a portfolio of clients for which they become the regular point of contact. The diverse role of an Account Manager includes such responsibilities as regular preparation (monthly/quarterly) of financial statements for the parent company, liaison with third-party service providers such as auditors, actuaries, fronting insurance carriers, bankers, and lawyers. Due to the costs involved with finding and training new staff, companies require a minimum commitment of two years.

Qualifications: Qualified accountants to be considered must have experience in the preparation of financial statements, whether it be from an audit background or within industry. Strong communication skills are also a necessity for regular contact with the captive's multinational parent companies. Insurance experience is not a requirement, as full training is provided.
