Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Aon Full time

Senior Financial Accountant

Are you a seasoned financial professional with a passion for the pensions sector? This role offers an opportunity to work on a diverse range of Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution schemes, from smaller wind-up plans to large-scale multi-billion pound operations with intricate investment strategies.

Join Aon as a Senior Financial Accountant and become a vital part of our esteemed Pensions Accounts team in Birmingham. This position allows for a hybrid working model, blending remote work with in-office collaboration.

Your Daily Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with team members to create Trustee Reports and Financial Statements for your portfolio of pension clients, ensuring compliance with FRS102 and SORP standards while adhering to deadlines.
  • Participate in regular meetings with partners to advance initiatives, identify challenges, and propose insightful solutions that yield positive results for clients. Engage closely with both UK and offshore accounts teams in preparing and reviewing financial documents, as well as managing audits and responding to inquiries promptly.
  • Work with a variety of pension clients, ranging from small wind-up schemes to large hybrid plans, utilizing your expertise to deliver exceptional service and results.
  • Cultivate and maintain strong relationships across Aon's various teams and enhance our reputation with third-party providers.

Why This Role Stands Out

Aon boasts a diverse clientele, from small executive schemes to substantial PLC pension plans, where we provide innovative solutions and ideas. This position is part of a dedicated team of pension professionals, offering you the chance to enhance your skills in both pensions and accounting. As a leading global firm, Aon provides excellent career advancement opportunities along with a comprehensive benefits package to support your professional journey.

Qualifications for Success

  • Proven experience in statutory accounts preparation, ideally within the pensions sector, with the ability to produce accurate accounts that meet regulatory and SORP requirements.
  • A collaborative team player who excels at building positive relationships with clients, auditors, investment managers, and other stakeholders, upholding Aon's esteemed reputation in Pensions Administration.
  • A commitment to becoming a subject matter expert in pension scheme accounts, with a strong understanding of regulatory and statutory requirements.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities, with a proactive approach to identifying and implementing process improvements for outstanding client service.
  • Strong organizational skills to manage deadlines while delivering high-quality work that meets both manager and client expectations.

Aon’s Commitment to Colleagues

Alongside a robust benefits package, we promote a diverse workforce. Our agile and inclusive environment supports your well-being and work-life balance, enabling you to thrive at Aon. All employees benefit from two 'Global Wellbeing Days' each year, encouraging personal time. We offer various flexible working solutions, recognizing that flexibility extends beyond just the workplace—this is what we call Smart Working.
