Descrição da oferta de emprego

Goodman Masson is supporting a fast-growing, digital-first insurance and reinsurance business with the appointment of a Financial Accountant.

The business has established a strong reputation for handling complex and sophisticated risks across international markets and has grown rapidly since launching. It has retained an entrepreneurial culture while investing heavily in technology, data and innovation to support its continued development.

This is an exciting time to join the business, with continued growth creating a broad range of opportunities for Finance to support the wider organisation. The team is involved in areas including refinancing, process improvement and potential future M&A, alongside the day-to-day running of the function.

The role

The role has a broad remit across the Group, covering the day-to-day financial control activities of the business alongside wider Finance projects.

It is hands-on, with responsibility for areas including journals, reconciliations, general ledger maintenance and financial reporting. There is also exposure to treasury, FX, statutory and regulatory reporting, audit, systems and process improvement.

You will work closely with stakeholders across the wider business and have the opportunity to take ownership of your area while contributing to the continued development of the Finance function.

This would suit a qualified accountant who enjoys a varied role and wants to be close to the wider business, with the opportunity to get involved in projects and activity beyond the core accounting cycle.

Why join?

• Join a growing business with an entrepreneurial culture and an international footprint;
• Gain broad exposure across Financial Control and the wider Finance function;
• Work closely with senior stakeholders across the business;
• Take ownership of your responsibilities rather than operating within a narrowly defined remit;
• Get involved in process improvement, systems and wider Finance projects;
• Gain exposure to refinancing and potential M&A activity as the business continues to develop;
• Develop your experience within a sophisticated and technology-focused financial services environment.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing the day-to-day financial control activities across the Group, including journals, general ledger maintenance and reconciliations;
• Producing accurate and timely financial information for internal and external stakeholders;
• Supporting statutory accounts, regulatory reporting and internal and external audit requirements;
• Supporting treasury activities, including cash management and FX risk;
• Maintaining robust books, records and financial controls across the Group;
• Supporting finance systems, process improvements and changes to the Finance infrastructure;
• Working with stakeholders across the business to resolve accounting and financial control matters;
• Supporting due diligence, refinancing and M&A-related activity where required.

Key requirements

Essential:

• Qualified accountant with 1-3 years' post-qualified experience;
• Strong financial accounting and financial control experience;
• Experience across areas such as journals, reconciliations, general ledger and financial reporting;
• Good understanding of financial controls and accounting processes;
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and colleagues across the wider business;
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills;
• Able to take ownership and work effectively in a fast-moving environment.

Desirable:

• Experience within insurance, financial services or another complex regulated environment;
• Experience of treasury, FX or banking products;
• Experience of finance systems, process improvement or change projects;
• Good systems and data skills.
