Lloyd’s is the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance marketplace, bringing together the world’s leading risk takers to advance global progress.
Our strategy is focused on delivering strong underwriting performance, operating an efficient and flexible marketplace, and maximising the capital advantage of the Lloyd’s market — while continuing to build a Lloyd’s we are proud of.
How we deliver this, matters. We take the risk, make things happen, and own the outcome — working together across our global network to turn insight into impact.
We’re looking for an Accounts Assistant to join our Financial Accounting team. This is an opportunity to build your accounting career in a globally recognised organisation, gaining exposure to statutory reporting, management accounting and financial controls within a complex international environment. Based in Chatham, you’ll work closely with experienced finance professionals and play a key role in delivering accurate, timely financial information.
What you'll do
As an Accounts Assistant, you'll support the delivery of high-quality financial reporting and accounting processes across designated business areas. You'll:
Maintain financial records and prepare balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring issues are resolved promptly.
Support monthly management accounting, budgeting and forecasting activities.
Assist with the preparation of statutory accounts and external financial reporting requirements.
Work with internal and external auditors and build relationships with stakeholders across finance, tax, actuarial and international teams.
Contribute to process improvement initiatives and finance transformation projects.
Provide support across the wider Financial Accounting team when needed.
What we're looking for
You'll be someone who enjoys solving problems, takes ownership of your work and can balance accuracy with pace. You'll also bring:
Experience supporting management accounting and financial reporting activities.
Knowledge of accounting principles, including exposure to IFRS and UK GAAP.
Strong Excel skills and confidence using finance systems.
Excellent organisation skills and attention to detail.
The ability to build effective relationships and communicate with both finance and non-finance colleagues.
Either studying towards a recognised accountancy qualification or qualified through experience.
Being inclusive at Lloyd’s is integral to how we work — and how we deliver impact.
We aim to build a diverse, inclusive environment that reflects the global markets we serve, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and supported to reach their full potential.
We take the risk by challenging traditional thinking and being proactive about inclusion. That means being open and positive about workplace adjustments, prioritising health and wellbeing, and investing in diversity and inclusion training so everyone feels able to contribute and succeed.
We make things happen by turning our commitment into action. Through employee networks, mentoring, volunteering opportunities and sustained investment in professional development, we create an environment where inclusion is experienced day‑to‑day — not just talked about.
We own the outcome by focusing on impact. By bringing together diverse perspectives and the best minds in the industry, we work collaboratively with underwriters and brokers to create innovative, responsive solutions that share risk and solve complex problems across global markets.
