• Identify and act on opportunities to improve existing accounting and reporting processes, implementing best practices to boost efficiency and accuracy.
• Maintain and strengthen controls over general ledger account balances, ensuring accurate recording across years of account and business classes, and perform timely reconciliations of bank accounts, technical accounts, and other balance sheet items.
• Collaborate with departments like IT, Underwriting, Claims, Credit Control, and Reinsurance to support financial processes and change initiatives.
• Support the implementation of the XLPro interface for the Syndicate’s ceded results into the general ledger.
• Create and run controls, and post assumed results into the ledger of Group affiliate reinsurers.

• Partner with other Finance teams—including FP&A, Tax, Actuarial, Treasury, and Group Head Office—to support analysis, planning, and reporting activities.
• Participate in audits of the Syndicate and related entities, liaising with internal and external auditors and providing documentation, analysis, and clear explanations.

• You must have experience partnering with underwriting and claims teams and be familiar with their policy and claims administration systems.
• Known for your accuracy and attention to detail, you’re proficient in Microsoft Office, an effective communicator, and comfortable engaging stakeholders at all levels.
