This Senior Financial Accountant will be working closely with an outstanding leadership team to deliver and own a best in class technical accounting function in a continually evolving environment.

This role will allow you to take full ownership for technical accounting standards across the business, develop technical papers and have a significant input to board papers while working closely with the SLT on future changes and the impact this will have on the organisation.

Senior Technical Accountant Responsibilities:

• Lead on the development and technical accounting standards
• Ownership of IFRS 17 projects
• Develop Technical Papers for board and audit committees
• Hands on with the finance team during key periods and able to advise on Solvency II compliance

You will come from a qualified background (ACCA, ACA, ICAEW, ICAS) and have relevant industry experience in an insurance organisation and be looking to take your next step to own the technical accounting function, with the ability to challenge, influence and lead senior stakeholders to create a robust technical framework and adapt to future regulatory changes.
