Manager, Accounting Advisory, Insurance, Audit & Assurance in London

For those charged with governance, the focus on setting clear, high quality reporting standards has never been greater. The Financial Assurance team specialise in assuring the financial statement, transactions and accounting. By collaborating with other teams and our global network of specialists, they deliver assurance that protects the public interest and fosters even greater levels of trust, underpinned by our priority focus on quality.

Our Assurance clients include some of the largest, most successful and fast-growing companies across the globe. They are complex, influential and exciting. You will be principally focused on improving the reliability and efficiency of finance processes and controls for external financial reporting with an impressive portfolio of clients.

We are seeking experienced and technical professionals with an accounting assurance and/or industry background to join our fast-growing team, share in our vision, support our growth plans and make an impact that matters on our clients, our people, our business and society.

This opportunity offers a variety of exciting opportunities to add value to our clients through a range of projects, including complex accounting assurance services, pre and post transaction support, GAAP conversions and new accounting standard support. The extent of our offerings will ensure you gain an unrivalled breadth of varied and well-rounded experience working with some of the most complex, fastest growing, and exciting companies across the globe.

As a Manager you will be part of a team providing high quality accounting advice to our clients, specifically:

• Advising clients on IFRS and UK GAAP accounting queries
• Assessing the impact of new accounting standards such as IFRS 9 and 17 and assisting clients with implementation
• Performing accounting policy and financial statements reviews
• Drafting technical accounting papers
• Supporting clients with financial reporting processes
• Assisting our clients with analytics

In addition to the above, you will also assist the team more broadly in:

• Developing long lasting relationships with stakeholders inside and outside of the Deloitte network
• Identifying market opportunities and assisting with business development activities
• Training, coaching and supervising staff in the CFO Advisory team
• Identifying new and innovative ways of working (e.g. alternative delivery models)

Experience auditing insurance companies or working within the insurance industry is essential. Knowledge of IFRS, UK GAAP and/or Solvency II, as well as the insurance industry more broadly (IFRS 17 experience is an advantage) is required. You should have commercial awareness of the issues and challenges faced by Insurance CFOs, strong knowledge of the insurance industry, and knowledge or awareness of developments in Insurance regulation.

Confident in presenting to, and building lasting relationships with, senior client stakeholders, you should possess a relevant accountancy qualification (ACA/ACCA or equivalent), a collaborative approach, and be a good team player, even when under pressure. Project and people management experience, evidence of strong leadership skills, and managing client relationships are also important.

We know it's not just about the numbers. Often, we let the technology take care of those. It's about the creative and collective thinking of our people. That’s where the true insight is found. We’re redefining the future of audit.

Businesses need to be resilient and transparent in their reporting to build trust and confidence. Assurance practitioners play a key role in achieving this through independent review and challenge of management's views on a range of regulatory and reporting requirements, whether financial, operational or compliance in nature.

At Deloitte, we understand the importance of balancing your career alongside your home life. That’s why we’ll support you to work flexibly within our hybrid working policy. Depending on the requirements of your role, you’ll have the opportunity to work in your local office, virtual collaboration spaces, client sites and remotely.

Are you looking to return to the workplace after an extended career break? For this role we can offer coaching and support designed for returners to refresh your knowledge and skills, and help your transition back into the workplace after a career break of two years or more.

Making an impact is more than just what we do: it’s why we’re here. So we work hard to create an environment where you can experience a purpose you believe in, the freedom to be you, and the capacity to go further than ever before.

A career at Deloitte is an opportunity to develop in any direction you choose. Join us and you’ll experience a purpose you can believe in and an impact you can see.
