Manager Financiële Rapportage

Job Description

The Financial Reporting Manager owns MEW's external financial reporting function across a multi-entity structure of approximately 80 legal entities.

• Respond to internal and external requests for financial statements and supporting analysis, including requests from lenders, investors, joint venture partners, and executive leadership.
• Maintain audit-ready financial records and supporting documentation in accordance with GAAP and company policy, supporting regulatory and compliance audits including those related to renewable energy incentives, grants, and project financing.
