Interim Syndicate / Technical Reporting Accountant | 6 Months | Insurance
The Role We need a sharp accountant to join a growing firm in the City for a 6-month stint. The business is in a major growth phase and is currently running key programmes. We need someone who can get stuck in from day one to ensure the data behind these programmes is spot on.
You’ll be working closely with the CFO to dig into back-dated data, fix fragmented records, and bridge the gaps. Your work will be the backbone that allows the business to carry out full programme reviews and actually see what’s working.
The Day-to-Day
- Data Cleanup: Getting into the weeds of the data for the current programmes. You’ll be picking apart old records to fix holes and make sure everything is running smoothly.
- Programme Analysis: Setting the stage for programme reviews by making sure the data is clean enough to measure success accurately.
- Cashflow & Projections: Looking at the numbers to build solid cashflow projections and analysing the "why" behind the data.
- IFRS Reporting: Getting the IFRS packs and financial statements ready and making sure they’re spot on.
- Running the Ledger: Taking full ownership of the daily bookkeeping, data input, and keeping the trial balance clean.
- Syndicate & Technical Accounting: Handling the complex bits that come with reinsurance deals and syndicate reporting.
What we’re looking for
- Sector Background: You’ve worked in Reinsurance, Specialty Insurance, or a Lloyd’s Syndicate before.
- IFRS Expert: You know your way around IFRS rules and can actually put them into practice on a ledger.
- Data Sleuth: You’re great at analyzing data and spotting errors. You aren't afraid of the heavy lifting needed to fix fragmented systems.
- The Mindset: You enjoy working in a fast-growing insurance team where your work directly impacts the business's success.
- Self-Starter: You’re a "safe pair of hands" who can walk in and get the job done without needing your hand held.
The Essentials
- Rate: £400 - £600 p/d
- Length: 6 months.
- Setup: 3–5 days a week in the office (City of London).
