Your Partner in Insurance Accounting & Finance Talent

Finding accounting & finance professionals with the right combination of insurance expertise, technical knowledge, and people skills has become increasingly challenging in today's candidate-driven market.

Partnering with property & casualty, health, and life & annuity companies, Selby Jennings sources in-demand accounting & finance talent needed to support long-term growth and compliance requirements.

Accounting & finance talent for evolving insurance environments

As reporting requirements grow across the insurance industry, hiring accounting & finance talent has never been more competitive. Firms need professionals with insurance experience, strong stakeholder management skills, and expertise across both GAAP and statutory accounting. Meanwhile, talent shortages, on-site working requirements, an ageing workforce, and a lack of mid-level professionals are making it even harder to secure this expertise.

Selby Jennings' specialist insurance accounting & finance team helps firms overcome these hiring challenges through our long-established network of industry professionals and flexible permanent, multi-hire, project-based, and retained search solutions.
