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.

Development Underwriter - Care & Charity (Scotland) IPS Group are delighted to be partnering with a market-leading specialist insurer to recruit a Development Underwriter into its successful and expanding Care team. This is a newly created role designed to increase the insurer's presence across Scotland, making it an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and relationship-focused underwriter who enjoys combining business development with technical underwriting. You'll be responsible for building new broker relationships, strengthening existing partnerships and driving profitable growth across a well-established Care and Charity portfolio. Operating from a home-based location in Scotland, you'll play a key role in developing the insurer's visibility across the region. This is a highly market-facing position and will suit someone who enjoys spending time with brokers, attending networking events and identifying opportunities to win new business. You'll be given the autonomy to manage your own territory and make a visible impact on business performance. The Care team is recognised as one of the leading specialists within the sector, writing business for a wide range of organisations including learning disability providers, mental health services, children's care organisations, residential care providers, charities, not-for-profit organisations and other specialist care businesses. With a strong reputation and established market presence, you'll have an excellent platform from which to develop new relationships and grow your account base. Alongside your business development responsibilities, you'll assess and underwrite new business opportunities, negotiate terms with brokers and ensure profitable growth within your authority levels. The role requires someone who can balance strong underwriting discipline with a commercial and entrepreneurial approach to generating new opportunities. You'll spend a significant amount of time in the market, meeting brokers across Scotland, developing new partnerships and acting as a recognised point of contact for Care insurance solutions. The business is investing heavily in the growth of this region, making this a high-profile role with genuine influence over future success. We're keen to speak with Underwriters, Development Underwriters or commercially focused insurance professionals who can demonstrate broker relationship management experience and a track record of winning new business. Previous exposure to the Care or Charity sectors would be highly advantageous, although individuals with strong commercial underwriting experience and the ability to build relationships quickly will also be considered. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, proactive and comfortable working independently. You'll possess strong communication and negotiation skills, a growth mindset and the drive to create opportunities within a specialist market. Existing broker relationships within Scotland would be particularly attractive. In return, you'll join a highly respected and growing team which has built a reputation as one of the leading players within the Care insurance market. The role offers a home-based working arrangement with regular travel across Scotland, occasional visits to Leeds and London, a competitive salary, bonus potential of up to 20% and excellent long-term career prospects. For individuals looking to move beyond a traditional underwriting role and take on a position with genuine market influence, broker engagement and growth responsibility, this represents an outstanding opportunity within a specialist and highly successful team.

Development Underwriter - Care & Charity (Midlands & South) IPS Group are delighted to be partnering with a market-leading specialist insurer to recruit a Development Underwriter into its successful and growing Care team. This is a newly created position, introduced as part of a significant investment in the Care division, and offers a unique opportunity to combine underwriting expertise with business development responsibility. Unlike a traditional desk-based underwriting role, this position is highly market-facing and will see you taking ownership of broker relationships across the Midlands and Southern region, developing new business opportunities and helping to drive the next phase of growth within an already successful portfolio. The Care team has established a strong reputation within the market and currently manages a substantial and profitable portfolio. With limited competition and a well-recognised brand within the sector, the successful individual will benefit from a strong platform from which to develop relationships and generate new business. Focusing on organisations operating within the care and support sector, you'll work with risks including learning disability providers, mental health services, children's care organisations, residential care providers, charities, not-for-profit organisations and other specialist care businesses. You'll be responsible for identifying and converting new business opportunities, developing both new and existing broker relationships, negotiating terms and underwriting profitable business within your authority.

We're keen to speak with commercially minded Underwriters, Development Underwriters or Broker Development professionals who can demonstrate experience of building broker relationships and generating new business.

The successful candidate will be proactive, self-motivated and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy. You will possess strong negotiation skills, commercial awareness and the ability to balance underwriting discipline with growth objectives. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a genuine "hunter" mentality who enjoys creating opportunities rather than simply responding to them. In return, you'll join a highly respected team of specialist underwriters within a business that continues to invest heavily in its people, products and market presence. You'll benefit from a flexible, home-based working arrangement covering the Midlands and South, a competitive salary, bonus potential of up to 20%, and genuine opportunities to influence business performance and progress your career within a growing organisation. For individuals who enjoy the blend of underwriting, relationship management and business development, this represents an outstanding opportunity to make a visible impact within one of the UK's leading specialist Care insurance teams.

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. Having recently invested in an enhanced Life Science proposition with broader coverage and additional value-added services, the business is entering an exciting phase of growth. As a result, this role offers genuine visibility with senior leadership and excellent long-term progression opportunities within leadership, people management or product development. For underwriters looking to combine technical complexity, strategic influence and leadership responsibility within one of the most specialist areas of commercial insurance, this represents an outstanding career opportunity.
