Finance Manager

An unmissable opportunity right now for an experienced, dynamic and talented Finance Manager. Leverage your unique skills and expertise to help drive the next exciting growth phase in the success story of a thriving UK specialist insurance intermediary.

The role

As a key member of the team protecting the company’s financial health, you are vital to helping ensure it meets its financial goals and highly ambitious business objectives.

Reporting to the Finance Director, you will be responsible for the accurate production of financial information to support planning and internal and external reporting. You will also reconcile client bank accounts and prepare reports to support the timely settlement of insurance accounts, audits and invoices. Other duties include supporting the budget and forecasting process, year-end accounts preparation and the annual audit process, and ensuring accurate payroll processing.

A proven manager, you’ll supervise, manage and develop the finance assistant. This will include helping to establish, nurture and foster an innovative culture of continuous improvement.

Requirements

As a crucial member of the team helping the company achieve consistent profitability, you’ll be adept at working with robust financial systems, appreciate adherence to statutory compliance, and demonstrate effective management of financial risk.

You’ll need to have a minimum of 3 years experience in a similar finance role, preferably within the insurance industry. You’ll demonstrate solid knowledge of accounting principles and practices and have proven analytical and problem-solving skills.

An excellent communicator, you’ll be a strong team player, great at building strong internal and external working relationships, and able to work smoothly under pressure and meet tight deadlines. Strong Excel experience is required, and knowledge of Sage line 50 and SSP Pure Broking would be very helpful (but not essential).

The company

This is a pivotal role within an established, fast-growing and multiple award-winning Surrey-based insurance business. Although the role is currently fully office-based, if you meet all the requirements but require hybrid working arrangements, there is some flexibility to discuss one day per week working from home (once probation is successfully completed).

The office is extremely convenient for the local National Rail station and buses. Some parking allocation is available on a rota basis to senior team members.

The package

As you would expect, in addition to a competitive starting salary, there is an attractive benefits package and holiday allowance.

At Insure Recruitment, we work with clients who are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. So, if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification or criteria in the above description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be exactly what we’re looking for in this or other roles.

Please apply for the role by submitting your most up-to-date CV. If your application is successful, we will be in touch within 2 working days of receiving your job application to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
