Accountant I

Who We Are 

We are in the business of subrogation – companies trust us to recover payments on damage claims so that the party responsible is the one paying for the damage that was caused. We strive to provide excellent customer service to both our customers and the other parties involved in a claim. In short, we help our customers focus on theirs.

Our business is driven by our Core Four principles: Process, Results, Culture, and Experience. Our dedication to practicing these has enabled our current and future success. 

We’re passionate about throwing company events that bring us together and celebrate each other’s achievements. We’re also big on taking time out to give back to the community and host several volunteer events throughout the year. We believe in a healthy work-life balance. 

Join our team and thrive in an environment that values both efficiency and effective processes as well as a casual, comfortable atmosphere.
