We are working with a highly reputable and recognised organisation within the insurance and financial services sector to recruit a Senior Technical Accountant to join their established Finance function in Ipswich.
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong, fully qualified accountant to join a complex, regulated organisation and develop their career within the insurance sector.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the preparation of statutory financial accounts in accordance with relevant accounting standards
- Supporting the preparation of technical accounting papers across key audit and reporting matters
- Researching and interpreting new and emerging technical accounting issues and helping determine the appropriate accounting treatment
- Working closely with external auditors and internal stakeholders to support successful audit clearance
- Providing technical accounting guidance and support to wider Finance teams
- Supporting independent reviews of balance sheet reconciliations
- Ensuring relevant financial controls, processes, and documentation are appropriately maintained
- Building effective relationships across a large, matrix organisation
- Developing your knowledge of accounting requirements across insurance, reinsurance, and investment activities
