Do you have an interest in finance and management accountancy? Want to provide a brilliant service to AXA cost centre managers? If you’re proactive and keen to add value in your next role, we’d love to hear from you.
You’ll support the Expense Analyst Team Manager in delivering transactional expense management. This includes month-end close, key and material balance sheet actions, and profit and loss (P&L) controls. You’ll create monthly reporting against budgets and forecasts.

What you’ll be doing:
- Support month-end close in line with wider close timetable. Process month-end journals, including accruals and prepayments.

- Optimise processes through cross-training, documentation, testing and feedback.
- Build effective working relationships with colleagues, including offshore teams.
- Offer commercially focussed technical guidance to Expense Business Partner to optimise accounting treatments.
- Provide data, reconciliations and analysis to external auditors.
