Financial Business Advisor (Financial Consultant) – P&C Finance

Location: Columbus, OH (Hybrid) or Remote U.S.
Function: Finance, Forecasting, Strategic Planning, Insurance Accounting, Reinsurance

If you are a finance professional who enjoys solving complex business problems, influencing leaders, and helping shape financial strategy in a changing environment, this role offers a unique opportunity to make an impact across Nationwide’s P&C Finance organization.

In this role, you will partner closely with CFO teams, controllership, and other finance stakeholders to deliver financial analysis, forecasting, reporting support, and strategic recommendations tied to major business decisions. You will help monitor results, explain key drivers, support forecasting cycles, analyze operational and financial trends, and identify opportunities to improve processes and tools across the team.

This is not a narrow reporting role. It is a high-visibility finance advisory position for someone who wants broad exposure to property and casualty insurance, including areas such as reinsurance, premium-related accounting, expense allocation, statutory reporting considerations, and cross-functional finance operations.

The ideal candidate brings strong accounting knowledge, sound business judgment, and the confidence to evaluate alternatives, make recommendations, and communicate clearly with leadership. Success in this role requires someone who can work through ambiguity, adapt to shifting priorities, and stay effective in a fast-paced environment where transformation and process change are ongoing.

What you’ll do

• Support financial forecasting, business planning, monthly results analysis, and leadership reporting across the P&C finance organization.

• Partner with business leaders, CFO teams, and controllership to analyze issues, evaluate options, and recommend practical solutions.

• Provide insight on financial topics such as reinsurance, underwriting-related expenses, taxes, fees, DAC, policy charges, and expense allocation methodologies.

• Translate complex analysis into clear business recommendations and present findings in a way leaders can act on.

• Help identify process improvement opportunities and explore better use of tools, technology, and automation across the team.

What we’re looking for

• 5–10+ years of experience in finance, accounting, financial planning, forecasting, auditing, or related business support functions.

• Strong accounting acumen and the ability to operate credibly in a complex insurance finance environment.

• Ability to think strategically while still executing operational work at a high level.

• Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the confidence to influence partners and defend recommendations when needed.

• Comfort with change, shifting priorities, and cross-functional collaboration in a lean, evolving organization.

Preferred Experience

• Insurance finance, P&C finance, statutory reporting, reinsurance accounting, controllership, or accounting policy.

• Technical tools such as SQL, Essbase, Hyperion, Oracle, or PeopleSoft.

• CPA or advanced finance-related education is welcome but not required.

Why this role stands out

This position offers broad visibility across Nationwide’s finance organization and meaningful exposure to pricing, product analysis, reserving, controllership, and CFO-facing work. It is a strong opportunity for a finance professional who wants to deepen their property and casualty insurance knowledge, contribute during a period of transformation, and help shape how the team works going forward.
