Overview:
Our client is seeking a skilled, detail-oriented Accountant to support their Case Development Team in calculating and documenting downtime losses for trucking businesses. This role is critical to helping owner-operators and fleets recover the income they lost due to accidents caused by others.

This is not a traditional accounting role. You will be applying accounting and financial analysis skills in a claims and legal-support environment, working closely with a collaborative team that values accuracy, organization, and confidence in the work product.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Review and analyze trucking business financial records, including:
  • Settlement sheets
  • Rate confirmations
  • Profit & loss statements
  • Income and expense records
• Distinguish and calculate fixed vs. variable expenses
• Calculate downtime losses resulting from vehicle out-of-service periods
• Assist in diminished value calculations for commercial trucks
• Create clear, organized financial summaries, reports, and recaps
• Contribute to demand packages submitted to insurance carriers
• Ensure calculations are accurate, well-supported, and easy for non-accountants to understand
• Collaborate with case managers and attorneys to strengthen claims

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong accounting or financial analysis background
• Senior-level experience preferred
• High attention to detail and comfort working with numbers and documentation
• Ability to organize complex financial information into clear, defensible reports
• Confident in your calculations and able to stand behind your work
• Advanced Excel skills required; experience with Word, Outlook, Adobe, and CaseMaster Pro is a plus
• Self-motivated and reliable in a remote work environment
• Team player who communicates clearly and meets deadlines

Bonus Points (Not Required, But Helpful):

• Experience with trucking, transportation, or logistics accounting
• Familiarity with income loss calculations or insurance claims
• Experience preparing reports used in negotiations or disputes
• Advanced Excel skills

Independent Contractor Perks:

• Permanent work-from-home
• Immediate hiring
