My client is looking to double in size in 2026, and this role will be fully remote and reporting directly to the CFO, in a lean and high performing finance function. Being based in the South of the UK would be beneficial as there will be a very occasional requirement to attend the office.

Responsibilities will include:

• Day-to-day management accounting of the Group's entities, including management accounts preparation and reporting

• Management reporting and financial control
• Support the quarterly and annual budgeting and forecasting processes
• Lead month-end journal preparation across all group entities
• Help to define processes for accounting management and financial reporting, through leveraging technology and AI
• Monitoring daily cash flow
• Preparation of monthly and quarterly financial close journals and reconciliation
• Supporting the annual statutory audits for all legal entities

The Person

The successful candidate will ideally be a Qualified Accountant with strong management accounting skills and experience of working in the Insurance industry essential.

You must possess strong Excel skills (VLookup / Pivots), and have the confidence and experience to design new repeatable processes and do things your own way.

You will need a hands-on approach and great attention to detail, and the confidence to work effectively with a variety of stakeholders.
