Interim Management Accountant

About Zego

At Zego, we understand that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It's too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn't reflect how well you actually drive. Since 2016, we have been on a mission to change that by offering the lowest priced insurance for good drivers. From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are the driving force behind everything we do. We've sold tens of millions of policies and raised over 200 million in funding and picked up numerous awards, including the Employer Of The Year‑ Insurance as awarded at The Insurance Post 2025 Awards. And we’re only just getting started.
