The opportunity: 

We are seeking an Accounts Supervisor to join our Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) team. This role offers an excellent opportunity to gain broad exposure across a range of financial accounting and reporting activities, including IFRS reporting to the Group, analytical reviews and the preparation of key reporting inputs.

As part of a team that aggregates and analyses data from multiple Group companies, you will develop comprehensive business knowledge and technical expertise across both insurance and non-insurance accounting. You will also support wider Finance activities and contribute to business projects and change initiatives as required.

This is a full-time position that may require flexibility to work additional hours during peak reporting periods to ensure key reporting deadlines are met. Any overtime worked will be paid accordingly.

Key responsibilities: 

• Support the preparation and submission of IFRS reporting to the Group.
• Prepare financial reporting information, including analytical review files, journals, reconciliations and supporting schedules.
• Investigate and explain financial variances, providing meaningful commentary and insights.
• Ensure account reconciliations are completed accurately and in line with Group internal control requirements.
• Support the delivery and continuous improvement of financial controls, processes and reporting.
• Provide broader support to the Finance team, including business projects and change initiatives.
• Collaborate with colleagues across Finance, Group functions and the wider business to deliver reporting requirements.

Your skills and experience: 

• Previous experience in a finance or financial accounting role.
• Part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, AAT or CAT) or qualified by experience.
• Experience interpreting and applying accounting standards such as IFRS, IAS or UK GAAP.
• Strong Excel skills, including Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs and formula creation. Experience with SAP would be advantageous but is not essential.
• Excellent communication, organisational and time management skills.
• Ability to investigate financial variances and provide meaningful analysis and commentary to support decision-making.
• Proactive and self-motivated, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively to meet reporting deadlines.
• Experience within the insurance sector, or auditing insurance businesses, would be advantageous but is not essential.
