Financial reports are only as accurate as the accounting data behind them. Insurance organizations rely on premium accounting, policy transactions, commissions, invoices and reconciliations to produce reliable financial statements and operational reports. RemoteBooksOnline helps insurance agencies, MGAs, wholesalers and carriers improve insurance financial reporting by implementing Premium Accounting and supporting ongoing accounting operations. By connecting policy activity directly to accounting records, Premium Accounting provides controllers, CFOs and finance teams with consistent reporting across insurance operations while integrating with QBO, Xero, Workday and Sage.

What Is Insurance Financial Reporting?

Insurance financial reporting is the process of transforming policy level accounting activity into meaningful financial and operational reports.

Unlike standard accounting reports, insurance financial reporting must reflect:

  • tick Policy Activity
  • tick Premium Activity
  • tick Commission Accounting
  • tick Carrier Accounting
  • tick Agency Accounting
  • tick Trust Accounting
  • tick Invoice Activity
  • tick Reconciliations
  • tick General Ledger Activity

Financial reports become the foundation for executive decision making, regulatory reporting and financial planning. Learn more about Insurance Accounting Services, Insurance Premium Accounting Services
