I am working with a fast-growing, internationally backed specialty MGA that is rapidly expanding its footprint across the entertainment, media, and live events insurance space. With strong carrier partnerships and a reputation for technical underwriting expertise, the business is building out its London market capability and investing heavily in talent, and now seeking a Management Accountant.

The Role Management Accountant This is a broad, hands-on finance role supporting the International Financial Controller within a growing and evolving finance function. While the role includes core accounting responsibilities, it goes beyond traditional transactional finance and offers exposure to process development, systems improvement and business growth initiatives.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working in a changing environment, helping to introduce structure and supporting the continued development of the finance function as the business scales. This role is well suited to a part-qualified accountant or a qualified-by-experience profile with strong MGA or broker exposure who is looking for breadth, development and progression.
