• Analysing tax and accounting data, identifying exceptions, anomalies and areas that need further review.
• Supporting the preparation of Lloyd’s market tax filings by applying relevant US federal tax rules.
• Preparing data packs, schedules and analysis for review by external US tax counsel.
• Completing reconciliations, investigating differences and helping resolve issues with stakeholders.
• Supporting estimated tax payment calculations and tax account reconciliations.
• Maintaining process documentation, controls and procedural guidance.
• Finding better ways to work, including opportunities to improve data quality, efficiency, automation and operational resilience.

Requirements

• Experience in tax compliance, public accounting or a related tax function.
• Experience preparing or reviewing complex tax returns and supporting schedules.
• Strong analytical skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Confidence working with large data sets, reconciliations and analytical reviews.
• A good understanding of tax return preparation, controls and data validation.
• Knowledge of US federal tax for corporations and/or insurance companies.
• Strong Excel skills and confidence using Microsoft Office applications.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Sound judgement, personal accountability and a willingness to challenge information where needed.

General insurance knowledge would be a plus, and experience working with external advisers or tax authorities would be helpful.

Qualifications

You’ll ideally have a bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance or a related field. A CPA, Enrolled Agent or equivalent professional qualification is preferred, but we’ll also consider candidates actively working towards a recognised tax or accounting qualification.
