About the team

The Record to Report (R2R) team sits at the heart of SumUp's financial close cycle, turning complex, multi-entity accounting data into accurate, audit-ready financial statements.
As SumUp scales across 37 markets, the integrity of our tax accounting is more critical than ever and this role is the operational engine that makes it work.
You'll apply the technical tax framework in day-to-day execution, producing precise calculations, accurate postings, and fully reconciled outputs that flow into our financial statements and management accounts.This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where your work directly shapes the quality of our tax reporting outputs, supports accurate financial statements and management accounts, and helps strengthen the processes behind them.

• Execute entity-level Pillar 2 / GloBE income and adjusted covered tax calculations, ensuring outputs feed into the controlling module accurately and on time
• Contribute to the periodic tax reporting package and operate fully within the R2R month-end and quarter-end close calendar
