Job Details

Fantastic opportunity to join a growing Group Finance function in a financial reporting and consolidation role. You will be predominantly home based with occasional office visits to Maidstone / London.

Client Details

Our client is a fantastic large insurance and risk business with a national footprint. They continue to gow by acquisition and organically, and are now looking to hire two new members of staff into their group consolidations and reporting team.

Description

Both of these Group Accountant roles report to the Head of Consolidation & Group reporting and accounts, and play a key role in the production and analysis of all group consolidations and interim financial statements.

The roles focus on monthly, quarterly and annual reporting, identifying and ensuring that ledger mis-posts are corrected, preparing segmental analysis and section 3 for financial statements and investor reports, uploading and verifying segmental and proforma calculations to Tagetik and reviewing the quarterly stat pack submissions.

Additionally you would produce quarterly /annual balance sheet commentaries and related reports, and undertake year-end contol tasks such as late posting journals and producing stat to ledger reconciliations.

The roles do not have any direct staff management responsibility, but you would support other members of the team as appropriate.

Profile

The ideal candidates will have previous experience of the production of statutory accounts, consolidations and the management of the audit process, as well as experience of ensuring that external reporting is correct at a legal entity level.

You will be fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA if you have the relevant experience) and will have good working knowledge of IFRS

Additionally, you will be able to drive continuous improvement and innovation, and demonstrate excellent analytical and problem solving skills, and be able to present information in a clear and concise manner to senior management.

Given the role is predominately home based, you will have an adequate set up and environment to carry out your duties effectively.

Insurance sector experience is not essential but would benefit your application.

A competitive package is on offer with a selection of benefits.
