Financial Analyst

Support the production and delivery of accurate, timely financial and regulatory reporting for a general insurance business. Working within the Finance & Accounting team, this role spans monthly close activities, preparation of management and statutory accounts, regulatory submissions, and analysis of underwriting and financial results — with close collaboration across Underwriting, Claims and IT.

• Execute period-end close activities in line with the agreed timetable, including trial balance review, journal posting and sub-ledger to GL reconciliations.
• Perform closing checks across key balance sheet accounts — premium debtors, unearned premium reserve (UPR), claims provisions, reinsurance balances and suspense accounts.
• Prepare and post accruals, prepayments and reinsurance entries, ensuring completeness and accuracy of the general ledger at each period-end.
• Maintain and update the close control checklist; escalate unresolved items with clear documentation of financial impact and proposed resolution.
• Support the year-end audit process, preparing audit schedules, reconciliations and responses to external auditor queries.
