The team aims to be the expert resource on technical accounting and act as the main contact for local statutory reporting, covering UK GAAP and IFRS, as well as Group reporting under IFRS. You'll also be providing independent quality checks on the balance sheet reconciliations of all AXA UK entities.

Key responsibilities:

Assist in the preparation of statutory financial accounts of each AXA UK entity in accordance with relevant accounting standards, achieving audit clearance and submission to the Boards in line with agreed timetables.
Assist in the preparation of technical accounting papers, covering key audit topics.
In conjunction with your manager, for new or emerging technical accounting issues, investigate, interpret and implement the appropriate accounting treatment liaising and gaining sign off as required from AXA Group and external auditors.

You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) from December 2026. Away from home means attending the office, visiting clients or attending industry events.

Your skills & experience:

Sound knowledge of IFRS, FRS 101, and FRS 102.
Clear understanding of the purpose and nature of independent financial audits and reconciliations.
Familiarity with company policies, business processes, procedures, and systems within a broader business context.
Proven ability to work independently, creatively, and effectively under pressure.
Strong teaching and communication skills to explain technical accounting issues clearly.
