Insurance Accountant

Insurance Accountant, Specialty Insurance MGA | City of London (Hybrid) | £ + bonus

A fast-growing specialty insurance MGA is looking for a hands-on Accountant to join its finance function at an exciting point in its development. This isn't a steady-state role; it's a genuine opportunity to help build something, with all the variety and visibility that comes with it.

The role

Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, you'll cover the full breadth of insurance accounting: premiums, commissions, IPT, FX, bordereaux reconciliation, month-end close and balance sheet recs. Alongside the core accounting work, you'll be involved in process development, systems improvement and finance projects as the business scales.

If you're someone who wants to understand how a finance function fits together and contribute to making it better, this is that kind of role.

What you'll be doing:

\n
• Insurance accounting across GWP, commissions, fees and claims within an MGA structure
\n
• Reconciling and reviewing premium bordereaux from brokers and coverholders
\n
• Month-end close: journals, accruals, BS recs and variance commentary
\n
• Supporting AP/AR: supplier invoices, broker statements, insurer settlements and credit control
\n
• Contributing to process documentation and systems improvements as the business moves beyond its current platforms
\n
• Supporting audit prep and ad-hoc finance projects
\n

What they're looking for:

\n
• Solid experience in an MGA or insurance broker environment; this is the key requirement
\n
• Broad finance experience covering transactional accounting through to month-end
\n
• Qualified (ACCA/ACA/CIMA) - ideally or qualified by experience
\n
• Strong Excel skills and a practical approach to systems and data
\n
• Someone comfortable operating in a growing, evolving environment where not everything is fully defined yet
\n
• USGAAP experience is a bonus, not a dealbreaker
\n

Why it's worth a look:

You'll have genuine influence on how the finance function develops. This is a well-backed business with serious growth ambitions; the person who joins now will be well placed as that growth continues.
