Finance Systems Accountant

Finance Systems Accountant – Workday

12-month FTC | £80,000–£90,000 | London | Hybrid

I’m supporting a global specialty insurer looking for a hands-on Finance Systems Accountant to join its finance team during a significant Workday implementation.

This is a hybrid role combining finance transformation with BAU accounting. Initially, you’ll focus heavily on Workday testing, data validation, fault finding and report design. As the business approaches go-live, you’ll help transition reporting from SUN into Workday while continuing to support year-end and quarter-end activity.

Key responsibilities:

• Support Workday testing, implementation and data population
• Help design, build and validate financial reports
• Extract and reconcile trial balances
• Test revaluation routines, data flows and accounting processes
• Support the transition from SUN and Q&A into Workday
• Assist with journals, balance-sheet reconciliations and audit queries
• Support month-end, quarter-end and year-end reporting
• Work across a Lloyd’s syndicate and multiple international carrier entities

The ideal background:

• Hands-on accounting experience within insurance or the Lloyd’s market
• Experience supporting an ERP implementation or finance transformation
• Comfortable working between finance, systems and data teams
• Workday Financials experience would be highly desirable
• OfficeConnect experience would be particularly valuable
• SUN, Q&A or similar reporting-tool experience is beneficial
• Qualified accountant or qualified by experience
• Practical, collaborative and willing to undertake both project and BAU work

You do not need to be a specialist syndicate accountant. The priority is someone who understands insurance finance, has strong systems experience and is comfortable getting properly involved.
