Management Accountant

Who are we?

Howden is a global insurance group with employee ownership at its heart. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of insurance. We are united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 24,000 employees spanning over 56 countries.

People join Howden for many different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. It’s what sets us apart, and the reason our employees have been turning down headhunters for years. Whatever your priorities – work / life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering – you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

As a Management Accountant, you’ll provide accurate, timely accounting services for business unit and operating entity reporting, alongside financial analysis that supports business planning. You’ll take ownership of core month-end activity, reconciliations and reporting, helping the business meet its monthly, quarterly and annual deadlines while maintaining strong financial control.

Please note that this is a full-time, fixed-term contract role based in our Milton Keynes office, running until March 2028. The role follows a hybrid working pattern, with an expectation of three days per week in the office.

Who we're looking for

• Professional accountancy qualification, passed finalist status with a recognised body such as ACCA or CIMA, or equivalent qualification through experience
• Strong A levels or equivalent
• Strong written and verbal English, with the numeracy skills required to interpret, reconcile and analyse financial information

A career that you define. At Howden, we value diversity – there is no one Howden type. Instead, we’re looking for individuals who share the same values as us:

Reasonable adjustments

We're committed to providing reasonable accommodations at Howden to ensure that our positions align well with your needs. Besides the usual adjustments such as software, IT, and office setups, we can also accommodate other changes such as flexible hours* or hybrid working*.

If you're excited by this role but have some doubts about whether it’s the right fit for you, send us your application – if your profile fits the role’s criteria, we will be in touch to assist in helping to get you set up with any reasonable adjustments you may require.
