Our client in Central Leeds didn't exist in 2020, but that hasn't stopped them establishing themselves in a regulated and well established industry, delivering major projects across the UK. They are now looking for a standalone Accountant to take ownership of the day to day finance function. At its core, the role covers the basics: Purchase and sales ledger invoicing Monthly payroll for around 25 employees Bank reconciliations and cash flow Sales and financial reporting VAT returns Some CIS work Keeping the accounts accurate and up to date Beyond that, there is plenty of scope to make the role your own. The business is forward thinking in its use of technology and already uses Power BI. Experience with Power BI would be great, but it isn't a deal breaker. They would be equally interested in someone who wants to learn and develop their skills in this area. You won't be left completely on your own either. The business has a strong relationship with its external accountants, who are present and available to provide support when needed. There are probably two types of person who could work well here. You might be an experienced Accountant or Bookkeeper who has "been there and done it", enjoys taking ownership and wants a broad role where you can get on with running the accounts. Or, you might be someone earlier in your career who has a good grounding in transactional finance, payroll, VAT and reconciliations, but is ready to step up and take more responsibility for the overall finance function. Either way, you'll need to be a self starter. There won't be a big finance team around you, so this will suit someone comfortable taking ownership, solving problems and working directly with the people running the business. Salary: £40,000 - £45,000 IPS Finance has 45 years' experience in the Yorkshire accountancy recruitment market. We have built our business on long term relationships with both individuals and clients in all sectors, bringing real benefits to all concerned.

IPS Group are supporting a leading insurer in the search for an experienced Senior Underwriter to join its established Life Science team. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced underwriter to step into a role that offers far more than day-to-day underwriting responsibilities. Acting as the Team Manager's trusted deputy, you'll play a key role in the continued growth and development of a highly respected Life Science portfolio while helping to shape the technical direction of the team. You'll take ownership of some of the portfolio's largest and most complex renewal accounts, underwriting risks across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, clinical trials, cosmetics, vitamins & supplements, and research & development organisations. Typically working on accounts averaging around £50,000 premium, with larger cases significantly exceeding this, you'll be responsible for negotiating terms, assessing complex exposures and maintaining underwriting profitability. In addition to underwriting responsibilities, you'll act as a technical referral point for colleagues, supporting the development of junior team members and helping to raise capability across the wider team. You'll also contribute to trading discussions, support strategic decision-making and deputise for the Team Manager when required. We're keen to speak with candidates who have strong underwriting experience within Life Science, Property & Casualty or Commercial Combined business. Whilst previous Life Science experience would be highly desirable, applications are equally welcomed from technically strong Property & Casualty and Commercial Combined Underwriters looking to specialise within the Life Science market. The successful individual will combine strong technical underwriting ability with commercial awareness, leadership potential and excellent relationship-building skills. You'll be a confident decision maker who enjoys mentoring others, engaging with brokers and contributing to portfolio growth.

Head of Insurance & Compliance West Midlands Hybrid Working Available Salary: Up to £60,000 + £6,000 Car allowance + Benefits A well-established and growing warranty insurance business is looking to appoint an experienced insurance professional to lead its insurance function and help shape the next stage of its growth in this role which will have a main focus on their compliance, risk and regulatory responsibilities. This is an excellent opportunity for someone from an underwriting, broking, delegated authority, insurer relationship management or insurance compliance background who is looking for a broader role with greater autonomy, influence and visibility than they may currently have within a larger company. The business has built a strong reputation within the warranty and protection market, working with major national retail partners across the UK. While it has achieved significant growth, it has retained an entrepreneurial and agile culture where decisions are made quickly, bureaucracy is limited, and individuals are empowered to make a real impact. This is not a role where you'll be responsible for a small piece of a much larger business. Instead, you'll take ownership of a wide-ranging insurance function, combining insurer relationship management, portfolio oversight, regulatory compliance, governance, operational improvement and strategic development. For someone currently working within a larger insurer, MGA or broker, this position offers the chance to step into a far broader remit. You'll have direct exposure to senior leadership, genuine influence over business decisions and the opportunity to shape how the insurance function evolves moving forward. With an established operational team already in place, including support for day-to-day activities, you'll be able to focus on insurer partnerships, underwriting engagement, portfolio performance, compliance oversight and driving business improvement initiatives. The successful individual will play a key role in ensuring the business continues to maintain strong insurer relationships, profitable products and robust regulatory standards whilst supporting future growth plans. Key Responsibilities Act as the primary relationship holder with insurer, underwriting and capacity partners. Analyse portfolio performance, loss ratios, claims trends and management information to support commercial decision making. Identify, assess and manage insurance risks and exposures. Lead the development, review and implementation of insurance policies, procedures and governance frameworks. Oversee FCA compliance requirements and the compliance monitoring plan. Provide regulatory and compliance guidance to stakeholders across the business. Investigate, manage and escalate significant compliance issues where required. Produce meaningful management information and reports for senior leadership. Conduct and oversee compliance reviews and audits. Deliver insurance and regulatory training across the organisation. Support the ongoing development and optimisation of warranty and claims processes. Contribute to system enhancement and implementation projects designed to improve efficiency, controls and customer outcomes. Ensure adherence to regulatory, ethical and industry best practice standards. Help shape the future direction of the insurance function as the business continues to grow. To be considered you will need to be an experienced insurance professional from an underwriting, broking, compliance or insurer-facing background. You could currently be working in underwriting, delegated authority, governance or compliance, with a strong understanding of FCA regulation and experience operating within a regulated environment. You'll be commercially minded, comfortable working with portfolio performance data and MI, and confident building relationships with insurers, brokers and senior stakeholders. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a broad insurance function within a successful and growing business. You'll enjoy far greater autonomy than is typically available in a larger organisation, with direct access to senior leadership and the ability to influence insurer relationships, compliance, portfolio performance and future strategy. If you're looking for a role where you can make a visible impact and help shape a business's continued growth.
