Salary:

Up to £70,000, depending on expereince

Department:

Finance

We’re 1st Central, a market-leading insurance company utilising smart data and technology at pace. Rapid growth has been based on giving our 1.4 million customers exactly what they want: great value insurance with an excellent service. And that’s the same for our colleagues too; we won Insurance Employer of the Year at the British Insurance Awards 2024 and our Glassdoor score is pretty mega too!

We’re looking for a Lead Control Accountant to play a key role in shaping and maintaining the Group’s financial controls framework, working closely with the finance senior leadership team.

Supporting a business with ambitious growth plans, this role is all about strengthening and sustaining a robust, well‑designed control environment. You’ll bring specialist financial controls expertise to Group Finance, while maintaining independence from the wider operating model, allowing you to provide impartial, risk‑based challenge and insight. Your work will help ensure our controls remain proportionate, effective, and aligned to the Group’s overall risk appetite and commercial strategy.

The role is based in Haywards Heath, West Sussex or Salford Quays, Manchester, and we love hybrid working. You’ll spend most of your time working from home, with around one day a week in the office. But, if you prefer being office‑based more often, that works for us too.

Core skills we’re looking for:

Financial controls & risk judgement – strong understanding of control frameworks with the ability to assess risk and drive proportionate improvements.
Analytical thinking – confident reviewing complex processes, identifying issues, and recommending practical solutions.

You’ll support the identification of control issues and ensure these are assessed, prioritised, and addressed in line with agreed governance and risk appetite.
You’ll work with Compliance, Risk, and Internal Audit to ensure finance KRIs, the risk and control framework, and key controls are resilient, proportionate, and effective.
You’ll support the ongoing review and continuous improvement of controls across Finance, including those relating to the preparation of all financial statements (internal and external reporting).
You’ll provide cover during absence for the Head of Tax, Investments and Control
You’ll support the administration of horizon monitoring for financial services regulatory change that could impact the Group, providing assessments and recommendations across the Finance function and Senior Finance Leadership Team.
You’ll lead and deliver targeted reviews across key finance processes, providing clear, constructive feedback and recommendations to process owners.
You’ll support the development of junior team members through day-to-day guidance, coaching, and quality oversight.
You’ll deliver coaching and feedback to direct reports to achieve KPIs and SLAs, and conduct regular performance reviews, including probationary reviews and annual appraisals as necessary.
You’ll provide supportive people leadership, helping to create a high-performing, inclusive team and addressing issues fairly and promptly.
You’ll support hiring activity where required, helping to attract and retain the right capability for the team.
You’ll help ensure ongoing compliance with company standards and relevant regulatory requirements.
You’ll contribute to risk and control reporting and oversight, ensuring documentation and evidence are appropriate, up to date, and fit for purpose.
You’ll promote a strong risk culture, ensuring the team understand their responsibility to identify, escalate, and report risks.
