External Reporting Manager
£90-100,000 PA
12-month FTC
London - Hybrid Working
JSS is partnered with a global insurer in recruiting a Manager to join their External Reporting team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. A role built for someone who genuinely enjoys the technical side of accounting and wants to be the go-to person auditors and regulators come to with the hard questions.
Responsibilities
- Acting as the technical accounting expert within a busy finance function — assessing complex transactions, new standards and regulatory change, and translating them into clear guidance for the business
- Getting involved in the accounting side of new deals and investments as they come in, making sure they're treated and documented properly
- Being a trusted point of contact for auditors and regulators on the trickier technical questions
- Contributing to statutory reporting and the wider financial reporting cycle, with a close eye on the numbers behind the numbers
- Looking for smarter, more efficient ways of doing things as the reporting function continues to evolve
