• Lead the preparation of FCA regulatory submissions, including MIFIDPRU/IFPR reporting, ICARA (formerly ICAAP) documentation, and other statutory and regulatory returns as required.
• Act as the primary point of contact for external auditors, overseeing audit planning, fieldwork and the resolution of technical accounting queries.
• Prepare statutory financial statements for individual group entities, ensuring compliance with applicable accounting standards (IFRS/FRS 102) and local regulatory requirements.
• Provide financial information and support to the tax team for corporation tax, VAT and other statutory tax computations.
• Partner with FP&A, Treasury and other finance functions to ensure consistent, accurate and timely reporting across the Group.
• Drive process improvements and standardisation of accounting practices and reporting templates across group entities.
• Support the onboarding of newly acquired or newly established entities into group reporting processes and systems.
• Contribute to system improvement and finance transformation initiatives, including ERP/finance system implementations or migrations where relevant.
• Line manage, coach and develop junior team members, where applicable.

Requirements:

• 2+ years' post-qualification experience in a group reporting, financial reporting or technical accounting role, ideally within investment management, asset management or a related financial services business.

• Experience with, or strong appetite to learn, FCA regulatory reporting requirements (MIFIDPRU, ICARA, COREP-style submissions).
