Own the quarterly technical close and reporting cycle for a Lloyd’s insurer across IFRS 17, IFRS 4, and UK GAAP. Prepare Group Reporting closing packs, analyze financial movements, collaborate with Actuarial teams, support audits, and draft technical accounting papers. Lead process, control, and system improvements while ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant reporting.
Our client, a well established Lloyd’s market insurer, is looking for a qualified accountant to join their finance team and take the lead on technical reporting for their Lloyd’s business. Sitting at the centre of the quarterly close, you will own the end to end cycle, from loading data into the close model and running the accounting processes, to working through results with the Actuarial team and seeing submissions through to sign off.
Alongside core reporting, this role carries a genuine improvement remit. You will play a key part in shaping how the finance function operates, supporting and leading projects that streamline reporting processes and modernise the systems behind them. It suits someone who enjoys both delivering a robust close and finding ways to make it better.

- Interrogate movements in IFRS 17 balances and clearly articulate what is driving financial performance
- Partner with the Actuarial function during the close, challenging outputs and resolving queries
- Drive and contribute to process, control and system enhancements across financial reporting
- Support the external audit cycle and help draft technical accounting papers
- Contribute flexibly to wider team priorities as the business requires
Requirements
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
- 3 to 5+ years’ experience in insurance, ideally within the Lloyd’s or London Market
- Practical, hands on IFRS 17 experience, supported by a working knowledge of IFRS 4 and UK GAAP
- A track record of delivering quarterly close and technical result reporting
- Comfortable engaging with actuaries and translating complex insurance numbers into clear commentary
