European Statutory Reporting Manager

Position Summary

Metrea is looking for a European Statutory  Reporting Manager to take ownership of financial reporting and statutory compliance across our European entities — a role at the heart of a fast-moving, multi-jurisdictional business.

Reporting to the European Financial Controller, you'll lead statutory accounts, audit coordination, and tax and regulatory reporting, acting as the key link between our finance function and external auditors, tax advisors, and legal counsel.

Reporting to the European Financial Controller, you'll bring strong technical expertise — particularly in UK GAAP — along with the ability to lead and develop a high-performing team.

Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors, leading the annual audit process end-to-end — planning, coordination, issue resolution, and review of audit findings, management letter recommendations, and proposed adjustments — ensuring statutory financial statements accurately reflect underlying accounting records.

Prepare and review consolidation and statutory reporting adjustments for the UK Group in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Deliver periodic internal reporting requirements, including maintenance of the European intercompany matrix, reconciliation of intercompany balances, and analysis of consolidation and elimination entries.

Monitor and communicate the status of statutory, regulatory, and tax compliance obligations — coordinating with internal and external tax advisors on direct and indirect tax requirements across European jurisdictions — and provide regular updates to finance leadership

Provide technical accounting support across the European Group, including researching complex accounting matters, preparing accounting position papers, and drafting technical accounting memoranda.
