Job Description
Symetra's Investment Accounting department has an exciting new opportunity to join us as a Senior Financial Reporting Analyst!
About the role
As a Senior Financial Reporting Analyst, you will be responsible for the accurate and timely reporting of investment-related financial data in accordance with both GAAP and Statutory reporting guidelines. You’ll be working within the company’s traditional investment portfolio, including fixed income securities, public equities, and other Schedule D assets.
What you will do
- Participate in the company’s accounting close and reporting cycles, including preparing journal entries, financial analytics, management reports, and reconciliations to ensure financial accuracy.
- Analyze complex investment transactions and ensure accurate accounting treatment in compliance with GAAP, statutory, and regulatory standards.
- Support the preparation of Schedule D and other statutory filings related to traditional assets.
- Collaborate with internal teams, external auditors, and Symetra’s third-party vendor to resolve complex accounting and reporting issues.
- Work closely with GAAP and statutory reporting teams to ensure accurate financial disclosures and appropriate presentation.
- Research and document accounting issues, and assist in drafting and updating accounting policies and analyses.
- Support cash operations and cash custody deliverables.
- Identify areas for process improvement, contribute to special projects, and implement solutions in collaboration with project leads.
- Produce high-quality deliverables with minimal guidance, incorporating feedback to improve outcomes.
Why Work at Symetra
Here’s what some of our employees have to say about why they work at Symetra:
"Symetra will spoil you. There aren't many companies that will put as much effort into you being a success as Symetra. The culture will challenge you but simultaneously put you at ease. Failure is seen as integral to the learning process so there is less reason to be fearful of it." - Kerry S., Sr. Systems Analyst
“If you want to invest in yourself and build a career, this is a great place to work. If you don't want to put in the effort to learn the industry and become a student of the business (it takes real effort!), there are easier places to work.” - Cris H., VP Internal Sales
