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

Insurance accounting across GWP, commissions, fees and claims within an MGA structure

Reconciling and reviewing premium bordereaux from brokers and coverholders

Month-end close: journals, accruals, BS recs and variance commentary

Supporting AP/AR: supplier invoices, broker statements, insurer settlements and credit control

Contributing to process documentation and systems improvements as the business moves beyond its current platforms

Supporting audit prep and ad-hoc finance projects

What they're looking for

Solid experience in an MGA or insurance broker environment; this is the key requirement

Broad finance experience covering transactional accounting through to month-end

Part-qualified (ACCA/ACA/CIMA) or qualified by experience

Strong Excel skills and a practical approach to systems and data

Someone comfortable operating in a growing, evolving environment where not everything is fully defined yet

USGAAP experience is a bonus, not a dealbreaker

Why it's worth a look

Study support is on the table, there's a clear path to Senior Accountant, and 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.
