  • Support month-end and year-end close processes with a focus on financial statement accuracy and compliance
  • Work closely with actuarial teams to align assumptions and ensure consistent results across accounting and modeling

  • Participate in audit preparation and documentation, ensuring full transparency and compliance
  • Proactively propose solutions to complex accounting challenges, showing initiative and ownership
Skills:
  • Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline
  • 7–10 years of experience in accounting (preferably corporate/insurance/financial services)
  • Proven experience applying IFRS 17, particularly GMM (and familiarity with other approaches like PAA or VFA is a plus)
  • Strong understanding of financial statements, corporate reporting, and collaboration with actuarial teams
Education & Certifications:

  • CPA, ACCA, or equivalent designation - not a must
