Financial Accountant - Gibraltar at Zego

About us

Created in 2019, EICL was the UK’s first ever insurtech to secure its own insurance licence. Authorised and regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission, we provide underwriting capacity to the group MGA, Zego, for commercial motor customers in the UK.

Trailerblazers, industry disruptors, game changers. Whatever you call us, we’re setting a new standard for insurance, and helping businesses to reach their full potential along the way.

Role overview:

Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, you will be primarily responsible for assisting in all areas of the Finance function including:

• The preparation of monthly Management Accounts.
• The preparation of the annual Financial Statements.
• Liaising with both internal and external auditors.
• All aspects of the Treasury function including both banking and investments.
• Reporting to reinsurers as required.
• The preparation and submission of regulatory returns.
• Involvement with the preparation of forward-looking business plans.
• The preparation of information for Board and Committee meetings.

To succeed in this role you will require:

• Strong Microsoft skills plus experience of working with accounting packages.
• Strong practical accounting background. Some experience of insurance accounting would be useful but not essential as training will be given.
• Some knowledge of banking platforms.
• To be comfortable operating in an autonomous and dynamic environment.
• A willingness to “get your hands dirty” if required, both within the finance function and the wider company operations.
• An ability to communicate well within the Company and the wider Extracover Group.
• A desire to self-improve and develop - hopefully to a point where the successful candidate would be capable of stepping up to the Head of Finance role.
• An ability to challenge current working methodologies and offering up and implementing alternative, more efficient solutions.

General

This role would be primarily home-based (either in Gibraltar or nearby in Spain) although there may be a requirement for occasional travel to the London office. There would also be some flexibility initially regarding hours spent although the intention is that this will grow to be a full-time role over the next couple of years. It is anticipated that this role may therefore suit somebody interested in a gradual/phased return to work.

The Company will offer an attractive salary and benefits package to the correct person.
