Job description

We are seeking a talented individual to join our Fiduciary team at Marsh. This role will be based in Norwich. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

What can you expect:

Are you good with figures? Do you have a passion for delivering outstanding results? If so, we’d like to hear from you!

• Based within our busy Fiduciary Accounting department, this is a varied and stimulating insurance accounting-based role, where you will be responsible for the transition of funds between clients and insurers.
• You will also be required to build and develop strong working relationships with key internal and external stakeholders, be comfortable working with MS Excel and adept at managing a varied and demanding workload.
• Whilst we would welcome candidates with relevant experience, we are also keen to hear from college leavers, graduates and individuals with transferrable skills, who are able to demonstrate a genuine interest in building a career within the Financial Services Sector.
• To succeed you will be highly numerate, have great communication skills and enjoy using these strengths to resolve queries.

We will rely on you to:

• Be responsible for account reconciliation and ledger management.
• Raise and send payment requests.
• Investigate and resolve any unmatched cash issues/financial exposures.
• Credit control activities.
• Work out different tax/commission rates.
• Act upon payment conditions and deadlines as appropriate.
• Produce and deliver information and documentation in line with requirements.
• Develop strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

What you need to have:

• Good level of education with clear strengths in numerical and potentially accounting related subjects.
• Exceptional numeracy skills, with demonstrable experience of working with figures.
• An inquisitive mind set with excellent problem-solving skills.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to deal with differing demands.
• A passion for delivering excellent service to external and internal clients.
• Great communication skills and the ability to build relationships with colleagues, clients and other stakeholders.
• High level of accuracy with impeccable attention to detail.
• Good working knowledge of MS Excel.

What makes you stand out:

• Previous accounting/credit control experience within a similar (ideally insurance related) role.
• Proven track record in handling and resolving complex customer queries in a financial environment.
• Experience with dealing with multi-currencies (specifically dollars) would be advantageous, although not essential.

Why join our team:

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
• We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients and communities.
• Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being.
