Group Accountant

A privately owned specialty insurance group is adding a Group Accountant (3years qualified) to its central finance team in London. You'll work directly alongside the Finance Director, own the group's day-to-day accounting and consolidation across the UK and Europe, and play a central part in bringing newly acquired businesses onto one set of numbers.

The business

Our client is a specialty insurance business headquartered in London, with operations across the UK and Europe. It is backed by long-term investors who are building the group, not preparing it for sale. It has grown quickly through organic growth and acquisitions, and there are more acquisitions to come.

It is deliberately the opposite of a large carrier: lean, entrepreneurial and light on bureaucracy, with direct access to the people who make decisions. As the group grows, so does the finance team.

The role

Reporting to the Finance Director, you'll own the accounting for every company in the group. The FD sets direction and leads strategic projects. You make sure the numbers are produced, consolidated and right, and you'll be trusted to do that without layers of review.

What you'll do

•Run the accounts for all group companies in the UK and across Europe.
