Description
About the Role
Wrisk Europe GmbH, a subsidiary of UK insurtech leader Wrisk is a rapidly growing European Managing General Agent (MGA) on an exciting expansion journey. We are seeking a Financial Accountant / Versicherungsbuchhalter to join our team, based in either our Munich or London office. This role is ideal for a finance professional who combines strong local statutory reporting knowledge (German GAAP / HGB) with hands-on experience in technical insurance accounting (Bordereaux reconciliation).
This role offers far more than standard day-to-day accounting. You will take ownership of our finance and accounting function, acting as the key driver of our local financial operations.
While partnering closely with our UK-based Group Finance team, you will have the autonomy to shape local processes, establish robust controls, and guide the development of the function as we scale across the EU.
If you are a hands-on, technically strong qualified accountant who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and loves having a direct impact, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities)
- Financial & Statutory Reporting: Own the month-end process, cash flow management, and financial reporting for our German subsidiary under German GAAP (HGB), coordinating monthly group reporting with our UK parent entity
- Insurance & Bordereaux Management: Manage insurer payments and the end-to-end bordereaux process in conjunction with the Wrisk data and Group Finance Team.
- Tax & Compliance: Partner with external advisors to manage local tax compliance (VAT, Corporation Tax, Transfer Pricing) and coordinate local German payroll
- Treasury & Day-to-Day Operations: Oversee day-to-day finance admin (supplier payments, invoice postings, and employee expenses) and cash flow forecasting
- Audit & Controls: Maintain strong financial controls and provide key support and evidence for insurer and statutory audits
- Performance Insights: Prepare and monitor financial KPI and management information to help guide commercial deals and business decisions.
