About the Role:

Everest (re Syndicate 2786) is looking for you—a highly skilled and experienced Senior Syndicate Accountant—to join our team.

In this role, you’ll be part of the Syndicate Accounting team, where you’ll play a key part in ensuring the accurate and timely completion of syndicate group and regulatory reporting requirements. You’ll also support reporting for related legal entities, including the Service Company, Corporate Member, and Managing Agent.

To thrive here, you’ll need a strong understanding of Lloyd’s syndicate operations, regulatory reporting, financial accounting, and control principles. If you’re ready to bring your expertise to a dynamic and collaborative environment, we’d love to hear from you.

This position will be based in our London office with a hybrid schedule that has the option of working two days remotely each week.

Role & Responsibilities:

• You will assist in the general ledger close for the Syndicate and its related legal entities, ensuring accurate Group reporting under US GAAP and local reporting under UK GAAP.

• Identify and act on opportunities to improve existing accounting and reporting processes, implementing best practices to boost efficiency and accuracy.

• Maintain and strengthen controls over general ledger account balances, ensuring accurate recording across years of account and business classes, and perform timely reconciliations of bank accounts, technical accounts, and other balance sheet items.

• Collaborate with departments like IT, Underwriting, Claims, Credit Control, and Reinsurance to support financial processes and change initiatives.

• Support the implementation of the XLPro interface for the Syndicate’s ceded results into the general ledger. You’ll create and run controls, and post assumed results into the ledger of Group affiliate reinsurers.

• Contribute to ad-hoc projects as needed, bringing flexibility and insight to evolving priorities.

• Partner with other Finance teams—including FP&A, Tax, Actuarial, Treasury, and Group Head Office—to support analysis, planning, and reporting activities.

• Participate in audits of the Syndicate and related entities, liaising with internal and external auditors and providing documentation, analysis, and clear explanations.

• Offer support to your colleagues in the Finance and Syndicate Reporting teams, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment.
