Description

Interim Reporting Accountant / Finance Manager

Day Rate Contract | Inside IR35 | Hybrid - Manchester City Centre

3–6 month contract

We are currently supporting a prestigious organisation within the insurance sector who are seeking an experienced, qualified Reporting Accountant / Finance Manager to join their finance function on an interim basis.

This role is critical to the business and requires a self-sufficient, technically strong accountant who can take full ownership of month-end, statutory and regulatory reporting, and lead the external audit process with minimal oversight.

The Role

You will act as a senior member of the finance team, owning financial control across the insurance business and running core reporting processes end-to-end.

Key responsibilities include:

Owning the production of monthly management reporting, including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and working capital
Leading the month-end close process, including balance sheet ownership and reconciliation
Owning the insurance statutory reporting process, including interim and full-year accounts for executive and Group approval

Acting as the primary point of contact for external auditors, leading the audit process end-to-end

Producing insurance regulatory and external reporting, including periodic FCA returns

Monitoring and improving financial control, cash flow forecasting and balance sheet models

Reviewing key finance risks and controls, reporting against agreed risk appetite measures

Working closely with Insurance leadership and cost centre managers to clearly communicate financial performance

Proactively identifying issues, resolving audit and reporting complexities, and reducing workload for senior stakeholders

This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable owning and problem-solving everything within their remit.

About You

This role will suit someone with:

Fully qualified accountant status (ACCA, ACA or CIMA)
Strong financial and statutory reporting experience, ideally within insurance or regulated financial services
Proven experience leading external audits, not just supporting them
Excellent understanding of balance sheet control and financial governance
Experience producing regulatory or statutory reporting in a controlled environment

The confidence to work autonomously and take ownership in a fast-paced setting

Strong Excel skills and the ability to improve existing models and processes

Excellent communication skills, able to work effectively with both finance and non-finance stakeholders

Big 4 or Top 10 audit background is highly desirable, particularly with insurance clients.
